What to See	What to Skip
• London, York, Bath, and Edinburgh—easily the most interesting cities in Britain.	• Southern Scotland, Stratford-upon-Avon, and the minefield of tourist traps that is southwest England.
• Bern or Luzern, Switzerland.	• Geneva—pleasantly situated on a lake, but then again, so is Buffalo.
• Sognefjord—Norway’s most spectacular fjord.	• Geirangerfjord—more of a cruise-ship stop than a destination fjord.
• Bordeaux wine country!	• The boring city of Bordeaux. All it’s good for is a bus into wine country.
• Germany’s Romantic Road, Bavaria, the Rhine and Mosel country, or the Swiss Alps.	• The Black Forest. Compared to America’s national parks, it’s just another forest.
• Kraków, Budapest, and Prague.	• Bucharest.
• Château Vaux-le-Vicomte (near Paris), Sainte-Chappelle, and Rome’s ancient seaport, Ostia Antica.	• The Leaning Tower of Pisa and the French Riviera (at least in July and August).
