Favourite European Country

[Paxton Dazo]

Germany or Czech!

 

[Wilko]

Slovenia for me, such a small country but it has everything, people are lovely and they are mad for EPL.

oooh good shout.. I went to Ljubiana and lake Bled last year, lovely indeed.

 

[The Spanish]

Norway or Denmark. Best countries in (at least Northern) Europe. Quality of life, social care, not wracked with ours or the Germans guilt.

 

[auschr]

Sweden & Norway

 

[DJB1975]

Rouen - France

 

[Juan Albion]

Switzerland, obviously.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Germany without a doubt.

I have always had a soft spot for Belgium, lived there for about 18 months at the end of the 80's, at that time in some respects it was a third world country...beset by corruption, poorly governed and lots of social problems...but I liked it there, the people were exceptionally friendly towards me as a Brit (particularly the older generations who kept thanking me for liberating them from the Germans, not that I had anything to do with it, but I understood what they meant)...it was totally different from any of its neighbours, is often maligned by those who don't understand how it works, if you can get past the beer and chocolate (best in the World by a country mile) there is a real gem underneath.

Really enjoyed recent trips to Croatia and Slovenia, and Switzerland is a great country (more so if you've got family there and don't have to pay the extortionate hotel bills).

But overall, still has to be France for me.

 

[Simster]

Loads of great countries in Europe, but I don't think you can go too far wrong with Denmark, even if you did stupidly ignore the cracking quality of fanny there.

Honourable mentions to Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway and Spain.

 

[The Spanish]

its not the done thing to say France, and they can be pricks, but f***ing hell not a bad country to have on your doorstep to visit. The food is still wonderful, the place is beautiful when you get out the bit off the ferry that looks just like England, and it is still most of ours first foreign country we visited I expect.

Its hard to love, but its hard to knock either. When they learn to drive it will be brilliant.

 

[Scotty Mac]

germany or poland

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i like BELGIUM

the villages and stuff are well PRETTY, all the cities are quite COOL, there's superb beer everywhere you look, the food is nice, people are wicked etc etc etc etc

it's generally just good

But overall, still has to be France for me.

Yeah, good call that. Predictably, I voted Germany because it's obviously very close to me. But I reckon that if you had to pick one single country in which to spend every single holiday that you ever go on, France would win hands down over anywhere else in the world - for skiing, culture, surfing, beach resorts ancient stuff in Provence, incredible food, wine etc etc etc etc.

And, it may be entirely heretical to say it but I don't give a shit: even when I've been shagging their daughters, I've found French people to be generally warm and friendly, certainly with no tendency to be less so than people in most other countries I've been to. Maybe the rudeness thing is a bit of a myth with its seeds sown by the bad impression given by the bored and sometimes-grouchy civil servants who staff ticket offices at big tourist attractions. Just my HO.

 

[surrey jim]

Isnt Turkey in europe now?

I beleive 3% of land area is. They are also keen on joining the EU

Anyways Turkey gets my vote

I went to Paris last year and was expecting to have a hard time because my french is poor and i had heard loads of stories about Parisiennes being ignorant towards the Brits.
Could'nt have been more wrong, charming people, very helpful, and a truly spectacular city to visit. I would'nt want to try and drive there however.
