camping place reykjavik image
EmmieG
Well, I live in the UK and I want to travel the world.
But I've no idea where to start!
I want to go backpacking, and go to beautiful places and rock concerts and stuff.
I was going to just spend a month travelling around Europe at first but I'm not sure where to go... Where should I visit? Best places to backpack around in Europe?
I want to go somewhere with museums/art galleries/culture
I also plan on busking to make money.
Answer
Hi!
Well, you can't go wrong anywhere in Europe, really. So, the best thing to do is just see it all, travelling from country to country. If you're looking for historical stuff, considering you haven't visited Poland, I definitely recommend visiting Warsaw and Krakow! Some really good cities, exploding with so much history regarding WWII, etc. You can go visit Auschwitz Concentration Camp and all the beautiful 18th century castles and cathedrals in Warsaw. In addition to that, Poland is a really modern and fun country, with so much to do in terms of nightlife and sight-seeing too.
A few other cities you might want to check out...
> Germany (Especially Berlin, Potsdam, Nuremberg, Dresden). Definitely full of history relating to Nazi Germany, etc. There's the Berlin Wall, the Reichstag Parliamentary building, Neuschwanstein Castle (the castle featured in all Disney films) and loads of other little towns, forests, mountains and museums to see.
> Russia (Moscow & Saint Petersburg). A lot to see there too. Such as the Kremlin, Bolshoi Ballet Theater, Saint Basil's Cathedrals, etc. Really interesting cities to go visit. Very unique and beautiful.
> Good nightlife destinations include: Amsterdam/Netherlands, Frankfurt/Germany, Bucharest/Romania, Lisbon/Portugal & Spain. (They have some really good nightclubs & bars, places to party.)
> Definitely go travelling throughout Eastern & Central Europe. It's relatively cheaper in such countries like Hungary, Czech Republic. Not too sure, if you can & have the time, make sure you visit Kiev/Ukraine & of course,
> If you're looking for some great "unique" places, try...
> ReykjavÃk, Iceland
> Minsk, Belarus
> Tallinn, Estonia
> Luxembourg City, Luxembourg
> Istanbul, Turkey
Like I said, every European country is worth visiting! If you're looking particularly for a coastal country, you can try a few nations in the Balkans, such as Croatia, which is known to be really beautiful for its beaches and resorts. Also, Latvia borders the Baltic Sea, and despite it being a small country, there's a lot to see there. Otherwise you could just stick to the South of France, Spain or Portugal or someplace common to western visitors, where busking near marketplaces of towns can get you some pretty good money as it's always packed with tourists and locals. Remember that for most of these countries, you can go there for up to 3 months without a Visa. However, places like Russia, Ukraine & Belarus require you to have a specific Visa which is sometimes difficult to get hold of, but worth a try.
I really hope this helped! I spent so long answering your question, haha!
Have a safe trip! :)

whats the difference between a norse trader and viking?

Answer
Not much, not all norsemen were Vikings and the word viking literally means:
"Scandinavian pirate, 1807, vikingr; modern spelling attested from 1840. The word is a historical revival; it was not used in M.E., but it was revived from O.N. vikingr, which usually is explained as prop. "one who came from the fjords," from vik "creek, inlet" (cf. O.E. wic, M.H.G. wich "bay," and second element in Reykjavik). But O.E. wicing and O.Fris. wizing are almost 300 years older, and probably derive from wic "village, camp" (temporary camps were a feature of the Viking raids), related to L. vicus "village, habitation" (see villa). The connection between the O.N. and O.E. words is still much debated. The period of Viking activity was roughly 8c. to 11c. In the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, the raiding armies generally were referred to as þa Deniscan "the Danes," while those who settled in England were identified by their place of settlement."
As for the rest of you...............
"The difference between a shop keeper and a thief. One wants to make some money supplying what you want and the other wants everything you have and will bust your head to get it."
thumbs down for your stereotypical ignorant too lazy to learn answer.
" a norse trader was just that. a viking was out to conquer new land for themselves. rent the movie pathfinder. you'll see"
Thumbs down for you too, if you think Pathfinder is an accurate representation of what a viking is you are a f*cking retard, crack open a book slappy and educate yourself.
toocan: no, just no....ugh, please just stop
"hmmm... I will guess... Viking wants to kill, pillage,rape and destroy other civs... Norse trader wants to trade stuff with other civs?"
thumbs down for "guessing" when you have the whold god damm internet at your disposal and a simple search could have yielded accurate information instead of the drivel you posted.
"A Viking is just a Norse trader on a bad day!
Easy way to tell the difference is if he is holding a pouch of money or amber etc. he is a trader or if it is a sword or axe he is a Viking.... Could be the same guy! Viking is more a verb than a noun. You go a' Viking.... "
T.D. bub, 'easy way to tell the difference..."??? are you f*cking serious? for christ sakes people cant you do any research?
"piracy.rape.enslavement. raiding coastal towns monasteries. same people different agendas. came from at least 3 norse countries Denmark,Sweden, Norway."
T.D. for you , if thats your version of "history" Hitler than must have been an o.k. guy to you.
for the love of the gods people what does it take to do a little looking around to find an accurate answer?
