Greece relies on summer tourism more than Italy, so while Italian cities remain wealthy and cultured, Greece will be cutting rates for winter.

Well, that's atypical, even by pleby Greek standards.

Which is "better" really depends on you and what you want to do. In most categories, I think Italy is better, but that's just me... food, history, variety of places to go and things to do. And fwiw the people, because Italians can still be annoying, but Greeks are a whole chapter -- at least the Italian women are better looking.

It depends where in Italy. Greece is pretty homogeneous in terms of environment, but Italy is much more diverse. If you're going for beaches, then Greece. If you're going for culture, I'd say Italy, if only because of the Roman Empire. Greece is cheaper though, and does have a charm of its own (as long as you don't stay in Athens). It feels like I'm biased cause I've been to Greece more than Italy, but basically if you're staying in the capital, choose Italy, but if not go to Greece. I feel like it's much more suited for tourists since Italy has so many other things to offer that you can certainly experience later.

Hey trv

I've been thinking of going on a trip by myself in january but i never travelled alone before (always with family or friends). My idea is taking a cheap flight to a european city with ryanair and stay in a hostel for about 8-9 days.
destination ideas:
Lisboa, porto, rome, ...
Any recommendations? somewhere rather cheap and where i wouldnt be bored if i go alone.

Imo, any capital city is worth it, but you may want to move a bit and not stay more than 3/4 days in one place.

When it comest to European cities, I'd definitely recommend Barcelona. Spending some time there is no problem; loads of things to see and do, and there are a lot of interesting things nearby, too.

How long are you staying for? Only those 8 - 9 days? If you're staying for longer, you should look into getting an Interrail pass for travelling around. They're cheap enough, and you can find more info at interrail.eu.

I'd also highly recommend travelling alone. I prefer travelling alone or together with just one friend, as it makes it so much easier to be spontaneous and meet other people while travelling. My best advice, if you haven't already done it, is to go get an account on CouchSurfing. You don't actually need to sleep on somebody's couch, but it's the best resource for getting in touch with local people and other travelers. Most bigger cities have weekly CS meetings where you can go and get to know people who'll know what to do, and who might want to do it with you.

Long post. Hope this helps. If you have any questions, I'll check up on the post tomorrow.

Oh, and general destinations: Barcelona and Lisboa are pretty cheap. Riga and most of Eastern Europe is pretty cheap, at least if you avoid the most touristy places. All of the older cities have lots of things to keep you occupied.

Just booked a first solo holiday myself for February.

Chose Venice, as there should be plenty to keep me occupied for a few days, and super touristy which should make for a straightforward first trip. Plus it was cheap, though I'm sure it'll sting the wallet while I'm there.

Looking at Barcelona or Reykjavik for later on in the year if all goes well (and I don't arrange anything else with other people in the meantime).

surprisingly women are fairly chaste in Hawaii. Most have a boyfriend/husband, or will make you prove your worth before putting out.

But at the other end of the spectrum, Hawaii has tons of hookers.

For such a beautiful tropical paradise, getting laid is not that simple.

I'm a 21 year old student from Australia planning to go on an exchange semester. Tossing up between Wisconsin USA or Norway.

I feel as though Norway has more to offer culturally but Wisconsin has the infamous American college experience.

Any advice/insight or similar experiences?

Michigander here.
You know what, I'm going to say go with Wisconsin. The UW system are good universities. Assuming you'd be going to UW Madison, you'd be near Chicago and Milwaukee for cultural stuff (concerts, museums, pro sporting events, etc.) and Madison itself has plenty to offer a 21 year old. If Wisconsin is anything like Michigan you'd be surrounded by some beautiful forests, lakes, and farmlands within a short drive if you need a nature fix. And, depending on the time of year, you'd have Lake Michigan to satisfy all your beach going needs.

Unless you're really into Norway, then disregard.

I know this may offend some Norwegians, but I am sorry. Norway doesn't have a culture. At least in Tromdheim, a big college town. HAD a culture, maybe. But doesn't HAVE one. Maybe it's the Viking thing of stealing other people's cultures, but there was a little I saw there that was distinctly Norwegian. Even the cathedral and such was more vaguely "European". I expected to hear death metal on the radio, it was all American pop. I saw African braiding shops, Irish pubs, and burger kings. There was British pubs, and Italian restaurants represented to. But I saw nothing that felt distinctly Norwegian outside of the nature and countryside. All the souvenirs I saw fell into 3 stereotypes, trolls, vikings, Norwegian flag.

Finally we come to Architecture. San Francisco has some really cool stuff, some really unique stuff, and some really weird stuff. Sometimes they're all the same thing. I'll start listing the stuff I know of, which is by no means a comprehensive guide. Only recommendations. I haven't visited all of these places.

The Palace of Fine Arts. Not only does it have a really unique history that boils down to "Let's build something huge to show the world we aren't dead from an earthquake," it is insanely awe inspiring when seen in person. It's hard to grasp the actual scale of it until you're standing under the dome and leaning against the pillars, but when I saw it for the first time my breath was taken away.

Alcatraz. If you're into architecture, what's more unique than a prison built on an island surrounded by sharks? The inside isn't as impressive as the outside in terms of uniqueness, but it's still worth checking out if you're interested in the history. Plus you can tell people you did it when they ask you, because it's one of the first things people ask.

Alamo Square park. If you've ever seen Full House, this is the row of houses they showed in the intro. The Painted Ladies are iconic of the city's style, and if you stand in the park facing them you can see the city skyline stretching out behind them. Reports of hands waiting to be held or lights coming to carry people home remain unsubstantiated.

Chinatown. It's a tourist trap, but it's a really beautiful one. The architecture is so distinctive and colorful that it could easily be confused for a movie set. Beware that eating in Chinatown is traversing a minefield of subpar places designed to cater to tourists. The only place that loosely counts as a restaurant I can recommend is the tiny Golden Gate Fortune Cookery. Have you ever wanted to see what a fortune cookie factory looks like? No? Fuck that, go anyway. They give free samples right off the line and sell cookies that are still hot from baking.

Yeah, I've heard great things about winter at Yellowstone, albeit I was only there in the summer.
Winter's obviously going to be the least crowded time of year, but at the end of the "summer" season, some of the lodging closes down a week or two earlier than the others (so I imagine it'd likewise be less crowded). Early October is probably a good time, but pretty much everything (including most of the roads) gets shut down by late October.

The Sutro Baths. In the 19th century, this was the largest privately owned swimming pool in the world. Now it's a huge seaside ruin with a fantastic view of the coast.

The Academy of Sciences. Besides being a really cool museum if you're into any kind of science, the building has a meticulously designed living roof and an entire rainforest biosphere dome built inside of it. It could be cool to see.

The Exploratorium. Remember when I said the place above this one was cool if you're into science? FUCK that place. This one is better. Completely unrelated to architecture? Definitely, but this was the only place I could mention it. They have a miniature cyclone chamber, a robot arm you can challenge to a balancing game, and an instant gameshow setup! Every Thursday night they serve drinks and only let adults in.

Old Ship Saloon. The city's oldest bar, and it's built into the wreck of a ship that crashed more than 150 years ago. No idea how good the food and drinks are, but architecturally speaking it sounds fun.

The places below are definitely cool, but aren't destinations or big landmarks like the other places. They're still extremely cool and unique, but not filled with other things to do or always centrally located.

Vaillancourt Fountain. If you want alien and weird, check this thing out. It's weird enough to be a point of argument among some people in the city who don't know what the artist was thinking.

Urbano Sundial. It's a 26 foot tall sundial built over a tiny pool and surrounded by grass. Why is there a sundial in San Francisco? Because somebody wanted a landmark to build houses around.

450 Sutter Street. This is crazy. If you've played Bioshock or seen any of the art, this could legitimately be something you'd find in Rapture. A ridiculously ornate lobby that pays homage to Mayan designs and Art Deco. The security guards are more than happy to let people in and talk about the specifics of the designs. Google this one and see what I mean.

We have the main things on the to do list;
- Vatican
- Castel Sant Angelo
- Pantheon
- Villa Borghesi
- Trevi Fountain
- Capuchan Crypts
- Coliseum

We are also taking a full day trip to Pompeii and Naples. Any of you wise /trv/ explorers care to list any must do things in Rome.

Im also curious about eating out. We arent too fond of paying for overpriced crap on the main Piazzas and Squares and like to venture in and around back streets. Any suggestions ?

Tbh you can do all those things in Rome in 2 or 3 days, so you aren't going to run out of time.

Consider a couple nights down in Sorrento to explore the Amalfi Coast or up in Florence to explore Tuscany which in my opinion are far more satisfying than the queue up, take a photo and move along atmosphere of all the attractions in Rome. Rome is a must see for the historical aspect, but Italy has better experiences outside of it.

That would be an extremely poor decision.

Whether you are religious or not, standing inside St' Peters is just awe-inspiring, the architecture used to create the massive internal space is brilliantly used to make the impact even greater. And, if you are into history and art at all, the museum is something you should not miss.

(Pay some extra money for a "private" tour of the museum at night -- crowds are MUCH smaller and the experience much better, if you can afford it.)
