Vacation in Europe
By Gene Leshchinskiy

There are several destinations, thousands of places in the world that are worth visiting. But sources say that now Europe is becoming one of the most popular destinations in the world to 'really' live a vacation. It has been popular for its history, attractions, the great culture, and of course, their traditional cuisines well known around the world. You also find many historical buildings, monuments and architecture that make Europe a great place to vacation in. Below are few of the best locations in Europe to consider for your vacation:

1. Tower of London

It's an iconic symbol of London and Britain, and one of the world's premier tourist attractions. The crown jewels are located within the tower. Members of the royal family were imprisoned and executed here. You find here the famous Lady Jane Grey graffiti. Stories are abound of headless ghosts floating about. The ravens have become one of the Tower's most famous sights due to a legend they carry.

2. The Louvre

France's rich cultural heritage is usually given as the main reason why so many people from around the world choose to visit the country. Undeniably, the Louvre is one of the best museums of art in the world. It contains great masterpieces as the Monalisa and the Venus de Milo. It contains other countless and priceless art - pieces, antiquities, prints and drawings, paintings, decorative arts, etc. from every European culture.

3. Eiffel Tower

It was constructed in 1889 by the same person that made the statue of Liberty. The Eiffel Tower stands at 317 meters and was the tallest building in the world at the time of its opening. It has several observation platforms and offers a breathtaking view of the city. The glimmering Eiffel Tower after the sunset is really one of the wonders to watch!

4. Tivoli Gardens

Located in Denmark, Copenhagen, Tivoli gardens one of the world's oldest amusement parks - and - it is also the third most visited in Europe. Tivoli has a tradition of renewal. Every year, there is some new addition - some new amusement - a new restaurant, a new rice, a new kind of entertainment. Tivoli is also about fairy lights. Tivoli is at its most romantic when darkness falls, but no matter when you choose to visit the Gardens, it's like stepping into a magic universe.

5. The Sistine Chapel

It is one of the Michelangelo's finest works. Under the patronage of Pope Julius II, Michelangelo painted 12, 000 feet of the chapel ceiling between 1508 and 1512. It stands today as one of the best artistic achievements of the world. The elaborate illustration features scenes of importance from the whole bible.

The culture Europe has to offer is often underestimated. In reality it is the European continent that offers one of the most varied cultures in the whole world. Not only do you visit vibrant and modern cities, but also historical sites, beaches, mountains, metropolises and traditional villages.
