The place of our travels with Okan is different; but I can’t be unfair to the fun trips I took with my girlfriends during my university years! After all, there is no good or bad travel, but it could be more fun.. Especially if this trip is made with girlfriends, thousands of memories that will not be forgotten for life are waiting for us.
Shopping tours and taste discoveries added to touristic spots and museum trips, which are indispensable for every trip, parties and shows instead of doze in the hotel in the evenings rule. Come on, let’s list the funniest girl-on-girl vacation routes in Europe in this article.. Let it both inspire future trips and keep our fun at full throttle!
#1 Milan:
Shopping when it comes to girl-to-girl travel automatically added to the post! As a result, Milan took its place as the opening proposal.. Compared to Italian classics such as Rome and Florence, Milan is generally unpopular; However, the modern face of Italy can be enjoyed by walking its streets and trying its cocktails.. With its historical architecture, art museums, shops and designer shops for every style, Milan is an ideal choice for girls’ weekend trips! While you’re at it, don’t forget to enjoy the Aperitivos, which start at 5 pm and continue until 8 pm.. A cocktail, unlimited snacks, good background music and lots of laughter; here is my favorite event in Northern Italy!
Add to List: For shopping Via Montenapoleone, Via della Spiga, Corso di Porta Ticinese, Via Torino, Corso Venezia, Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, Corso Buenos Aires and Corso Como streets, Duomo for Aperitivo and around Navigli canal, Duomo Cathedral, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II bazaar and La Scala Opera.
#2 Lviv:
Lviv, which is a tiny city to visit comfortably on the weekend, is one of my favorites because it is both visa-free and still an economical route compared to the Turkish Lira.. The most important reason for Lviv’s entertaining venues with different concepts to be included in this list. When the city becomes small, after a while you finish the historical and cultural places and start to get involved with food and drink.. In some of the never-ending Lviv venues, you are playing the sketches given to you to pay for the bill, some of which you can enter with a password, some with a military theme, some with a sadomasochism concept… Moreover, I have good news; Lviv, one of Europe’s cities that never sleeps!
Add to List: The second-hand book market in front of the Dominican Church, breakfast with champagne at Backzewski restaurant, Georgian pita ‘khachapuri’ and champagne at Champagneria X&X , Breakfast at Cukor, flaming coffee show at Lviv Coffee Mining Manufacture, Libraria Speakeasy Jazz Bar and Kryjivka underground bar.
#3 Athens:
Athens; It is one of the closest and most enjoyable routes to go with its ancient history, rich culture and different tastes from Turkish cuisine.. If you are looking for a historical, fun and delicious place to go girl-to-girl, you can start planning by buying an Athens ticket! In Athens, where even a weekend will be enough, start the tour from the Acropolis and continue with the side streets of Plaka neighborhood, do not forget to look at Plaka from this perspective for the shopping tour, and keep in mind places such as Ermou Street, Monastiraki and Kolonaki.. Athens is famous for its ‘underground’ clubs as well as its bars and discos; some of them are Crust, The Speakeasy, Rebound and Cinderella.
Add to List: The Acropolis, Delphi ancient city, the alleys of Plaka, the flavors you must try are the garbage-like Souvlaki or otherwise. Kalamaki, a kind of coffee Frappe, Greek doner Gyros, mastic liqueur Mastika and Greek raki Ouzo.
#4 Barcelona :
With its colorful city view shaped by Gaudi, Mediterranean air, energetic street culture and delicious food, Barcelona is one of the most entertaining girl-on-girl routes.. After visiting the museums dealing with Catalan culture, the beach in Barcelona, Gaudi architecture such as the Sagrada Familia Church and Guell park, it’s time to explore the Barri Gotic, El Raval and El Born districts.. When it comes to Spain, ‘paella’ and ‘tapas bars’ cannot be missed; it even continues with flamenco shows at night.. Some shopping spots to keep in mind are Example, Ciutat Vella and Gracia streets and Las Ramblas streets.. Your target is in concept design stores and vintage boutiques, direction El Raval district and its side streets!
Add to List: Sagrada Familia, Parc Guell, Casa Battlo, Casa Mila, Barcelona Cathedral, La Boqueria market , Barri Gotic and El Born neighborhoods, Parc de la Ciutadella, Federal Cafe, Milk Bar & Bistro, Can Ramonet, Xiringuito Escriba and La Fonda for paella, Bar Canete, Quimet y Quimet, Bar Pinotxo and El Xampanyet for tapas.
#5 London:
My dear London, which I love so much, I won’t get bored if I go many times; another favorite of mine with its unique city life, architecture that combines modernism and nostalgia, colorful streets and social life opportunities.. When London is mentioned, perhaps the first Big Ben clock tower, London Eye and Buckingham Palace landmarks come to mind; but London is so much more than that! Neighborhoods smelling of nobility, hipster neighborhoods, hundreds of free museums, pub culture and endless shopping opportunities! If you stay for 10 days, this is a rich city that will not end with visiting.. Words are not enough to describe some cities, and London is one of them.
Add to List: British Museum, Tate Modern, V&A Museum, Camden Town, Covent Garden, Notting Hill, Portobello Road, Warner Bros Studio Tour for Harry Potter fans, Fortnum & Mason, Claridge’s, The Savoy or Sketch for afternoon tea ritual, Poppies for fish and chips.
#6 Berlin:
Europe’s unique city, Berlin, is a favorite route for those interested in history and art.. This is a completely different city where you will follow the traces of World War II, visit many museums related to German and European history, meet German art and actually the head of Berlin! Berlin’s interest in art, its perspective on modern art, the museums and art spaces where all these are exhibited take Berlin trips to a whole new level.. In addition to all this, Berlin is one of the two most entertaining cities in Europe, along with Barcelona, with its amazing parties and endless nightclubs, and Berlin is the center of girl-on-girl entertainment! The bonus of this trip is the second-hand shopping spots in Berlin!
Add to List: Eastside Gallery, The Holocaust Memorial, Brandenburg Gate, Pergamon Museum, Berlin Museum Island, Jewish Museum, Kreuzberg and Ku’damm neighborhoods, boutiques in Prenzlauer Berg and Mitte for second-hand and vintage shopping, Mauerpark every Sunday for the second-hand market, Mustafa’s Gemüse Kebab with chicken doner for street flavor, and its neighbor Curry 36 for wurst.
#7 Amsterdam:
The most beautiful place in the world that a person cannot give up and looks forward to his next visit. and Amsterdam, one of the freest cities, cannot be missed on this list! Standing out with its picturesque architecture, narrow houses and canal-lined streets, Amsterdam passes every moment of the day to the fullest.. Amsterdam means plenty of canal views; First we walk the streets, and at the same time we take pictures of every channel and corner we like.. Then the subject comes to shopping and we visit both the huge shopping streets and the design boutiques that we come across in the streets.. When you get tired, we take small breaks in the sweet cafes that decorate the entrance of those narrow houses and spend the noon hours in the thematic museums of the city.. In the afternoon, we lie on the grass in the huge parks and enjoy yourself! The only rule in Amsterdam is not to get tired! Because the nights are much more fun and lively in this city than the day!
Add to List: Groenburgwal, Reguliersgracht and Herrengracht canals, Anne Frank’s House, Rijksmuseum, Stedelijk and The Heineken Experience Jordaan neighborhood, famous for its museums, Vondelpark and markets, Stroopwaffle if you catch the freshly cooked one, french fries from Vlaams Friteshuis Vleminckx and apple tart from Cafe Winkel 43.
