That's 150 dollars,. You can rent a car for that, with four people riding in it, who would pay 600 bucks to travel together on the Passes..

London Pass- WITHOUT TRAVEL as I just said- which is generally a better deal than buying the mass transit pass along with the museums and attractions pass because it ends up being an all zones pass when most people only really need zones 1&2 for most days they're there excluding getting from and to the airport.

If you can find parking for your rental car at a London hotel, that will be $30-$50 per day. You will also pay London congestion charge for driving within the center city that will probably another insane amount and then another huge parking charge at your destination.

Generally really rude.

The siesta is really from 1-5pm since everyone takes it at different times. Spain is pretty set between 2-4pm.

All the touristy stuff is filled with add ons. Won't allow photos at alot of museums but you can buy photos at the gift shop, F off Italy.


Romania is pretty rough but its Romania...Italy wins my least favorite country followed by Malaysia. Might be the dumbest country I've been too.



Austria as a whole is super underrated. They focus on WWI history which is very refreshing compared to the rest of Europe.

Prague is a crazy pretty city.
Agree with Austria. Also Switzerland. Two of the most beautiful countries I have ever been too. I will add Belgium. Went to Brussels in 2012 and I really enjoyed it. Love San Diego, Cancun...

Paris is overrated. So filthy that it rivaled NYC.

Spain is my favorite country, because it's surprised me above what I am expected.
