Europe Vacation Highlights: Italy, France, Belgium – GoPro (VIDEO)

Highlights of our two week adventure to Cinque Terre, Milan and Turin, Paris, and Belgium including Bastogne and the Belgium Formula 1 Grand Prix. The video is of our entire trip to Europe.

TOP TRAVEL TIPS:
*Milan is worth skipping, although it is a major hub, the city is not as nice as many other Italian cities.
*Cinque Terre is an amazing experience, and can be reached by train from Milan to Monterosso (The most northern town). Once in Cinque Terre, you have the option of hiking between the five towns, or taking the trains, which stops at all five towns.
*Turin (Torino) is worth a stop if your travels take you to Northern Italy. The city is clean, un-touristy, and still has that many ancient buildings that keep the city feeling so Italian.
*Paris was amazingly easy to get around in with the metro system. Even getting to the Palace of Versailles is a commuter train ride away. The French were very helpful and accommodating to our questions, which made getting to our destinations simple.
*We wish we could have spent more time in Belgium. Renting a car to see the small villages of Eastern Belgium is almost a must. We wish we could have had time to make it to Dinot, but we did go to Bastogne and stayed in Namur. Both were pleasent and worth a quick stop.
*The Formula Grand Prix of Belgium is worth going to for anyone who likes cars. Eau Rouge is amazing to see in person. Just expect to not get out of the racetrack until atleast 3 hours after the race. And a rental car is a must as the buses cost more than renting a car.
