Where would YOU go if you could have the vacation of your dreams?

For me, if I could choose my dream vacation, I would definitely choose southern Europe. Although the USA is far from here, it is possible to reach Europe by plane. Why do I want to travel to countries such as Italy, Spain, Portugal, or Greece? The answer is simple: their climate is perfect, and their ancient buildings and monuments teach about the birth of Western Civilization. I would love to go to the airport today and buy a ticket to start my journey in Greece. Greece is, after all, my dream vacation destination.

Greece is the cradle of Western Civilization. Such philosophers as Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates generated their wise ideas and ‘invented’ philosophy in Greece. Very soon, their thoughts spread to other European countries. I would like to visit Greece in order to understand the influence of the country’s nature, people, and cuisine on our culture. Their influence has been positive because of so many talented personalities originating from this magnificent place. I would love to start my vacation in Athens. This ancient city, the capital of Greece, is full of marvelous monuments and prehistoric buildings that have survived until our time. I would like to walk about the old city and admire the historical places of interest. Athens is definitely one of the key stops in my dream vacation.

It would be foolish to leave Greece without trying its cuisine. Greeks are famous for their love for dairy products, olives, fish, and, of course, wine. They manage to combine these ingredients to produce splendid dishes. Sampling this food is a big part of why Greece is my dream vacation spot.

The second stop of my journey would be Italy. But I am confused about which places to visit with so many great choices. The most obvious place is Rome, the capital of Italy. This ancient city is supposed to be one of the most beautiful in Europe. The Colosseum, Vatican City, the Pantheon, and the Trevi Fountain would all be worth visiting. The entire city is practically a big monument and a complex of historic buildings that impress your mind. I would like to spend a few days wandering around and visiting its cozy restaurants and pizzerias. If I had to pick just one city in Italy for my dream vacation, Rome would definitely be at the top of the list.

I would try all possible kinds of pizza if I were in Italy because this dish is one of my favorites. It would be a crime to miss the chance to eat a genuine Italian pizza cooked in its motherland. Then, I should definitely try different sorts of the Italian wine. I would like to devote a day or two to the exploration of the small villas and private households that grow grapes and produce their wine. Italy is another dream vacation destination that I simply cannot wait to explore.

If I am in Italy, I should go to Venice. This city is known all over the world due to its unique position and organization. When I was a child, I dreamt of visiting Venice, this magical city placed on the water. You will not see a car or scooter there because native citizens travel about Venice by boats. I want to look at the police, vendors, and public transport that function on boats. In addition, Venice is rich in Gothic architecture. It is difficult to imagine something more imposing than looking at Rialto Bridge, Piazza San Marco, and Doge’s Palace from your gondola. I suppose I will feel like I am in a fairy tale when I decide to spend a week in the city on the water. I would try to visit this spectacular city during the carnival that gathers thousands of people in the streets wearing masks and weird costumes. Venice is definitely a place that I would love to include in my dream vacation itinerary.

Next would be Spain. Barcelona is the primary city in my ‘must see’ list. The city is known for its architecture and lifestyle. I have dreamt about visiting the Sagrada Familia for years. I think this historic church will definitely impress me with its size and beauty. Then, I will look at the other Gaudi masterpieces that have made Barcelona famous. Barcelona Cathedral, The Arc de Triomf, The National Museum of Art of Catalonia and other places of interest are worth attention. The Barcelona beach is the ideal place to have a good rest. Its pure water and well known parties will make your vacation unforgettable. Although I am not a big fan of soccer, I would like to visit the museum of the strongest European team in Barcelona. Moreover, it would be nice to watch the game at the largest stadium in Europe called Camp Nou.

I suppose I would finish my vacation in Barcelona and fly home by plane from it's airport. I believe that these experiences and impressions obtained in the picturesque and warm southern European countries will stay with me for years. Obviously, I will try to turn this dream vacation into reality.

What would your dream vacation look like?
