France; Paris, and try and eat in a little side-street somewhere, the foods more genuine than the touristy bits. Also the usual stuff, Eiffel tower, Arc de T, Mona Lisa etc etc. If you get chance go to the southern end of France - Biarritz in particular. And the Loire valley. fuck i love france.
Try and get a battlefield tour around normandy for the beaches + such, and some of the WWI and WWII war graves are inspiring. This sort of history is also shared with belgium.
Belgium; You HAVE to go and watch a Menin gate procession, and again more WWI and II (mostly I). Theres a huge monument in the middle of nowhere covered with names of the missing, but its name escapes me.
Germany; The border with france is literred with old defences from both sides, worth a look. Berlin, obviously is full of stuff. Reichstag, Checkpoint Charlie, Memorial to the Murdered jews of Europe, Russian War Memorial etc. you could spend weeks exploring Berlin. make sure to have a currywurst
Also while in Berlin go check out the pre-wwii Olympic stadium. Cities like Hamburg and Munich will take days to explore, and are worth it. Also, get to
here if you can.
Switzerland; punch shifty in the cunt. After that just marvel at how clean everything is
Netherlands, i'm sure ghetto and co can help you with this one.
