I get it is a joke, but Germany is #2 visited by Americans and Netherlands is 4, above Italy at 5.

I would like to visit Ukraine. Bit of an issue.
Stop gatekeeping tourism. "Oh, if you don't live in each city of each country for at least a week, are you even outside your home?" Who TF you think has money for that? People will choose what they want to see. If they stay in one or two cities, they haven't seen enough. If they run through 10 countries in 12 days, it was only a shallow visit. Who can win? Fuck off with that bullshit.
You can also just go to one of the other countries instead
people don’t get to do many overseas vacations. Makes sense they would want to go to the best countries first? Yes every country is unique beautiful and people are interesting and if someone can afford to keep exploring, it’s endless delight. but Italy, France, Spain are not deemed the best for no reason. It’s because they genuinely are
I just said people will go to where they want to go. Did I fucking stutter?
If they want to go to Paris instead of the just as romantic Prague, you don't get a say in it. None of your business.
No different than European tourists "traveling the US" visiting a couple of big cities and maybe the Grand Canyon on a stop in between.
Hi from Lisboa, Portugal… let me tell you, the tourists absolutely know about us. A bit too much…
People rip on Americans like this because they don't know we get 10 days off a year and have to pay $20,000 for the ambulance.
This is the only type of Euro Trip we can afford to take.
Strange, because eastern Europe is a lot cheaper to travel than France, Italy or the UK. Those are some of the most expensive countries actually.
Flying there from the US is more expensive and Americans generally don't want to see Eastern Europe.
More cost, less benefit.
The France map should just be Paris
At least put Amsterdam on there😂
This thread is just massive gatekeeping 🤣
So many angry nerds people care mostly about food and shopping.
For a more accurate map, erase everything south of Rome, including Sicily, as well as Corsica and Sardinia. At the northern end of things, probably also Ireland and Scotland.
Then make four new tiny islands and name them Barcelona, Munich, Amsterdam and Prague.
I also don't get why it only includes NI and not Eire. Don't most Americans go to Dublin, Cork, Galway, Waterford, Limerick?
Keep Tuscany, Rome, Milan, Naples and Venice and you are done for Italy.

That pretty much sums up my time in Europe.
Or be Danish:
American: I have been to Denmark! I love Denmark.
Visits Copenhagen only 🤡
Especially offensive if you are a Jut like moi. You motherfuckers come here and think Copenhagen is Denmark, yet entirely ignore the rest of the country and especially Jutland where the vikings lived, Amleth's grave is, where the king's used to be crowned, the earliest Danish law that predates your frigging country by several centuries AND it is the place that Tolkien based Middle Earth and characters like Eowyn on. You could literally go visit the real Helms Deep, Isengard, Aros and Esgaroth and you could go visit the place of the legendary shieldmaiden Hervør who inspired Eowyn and in some ways Aragorn too.
But no no. cOpEnHaGen is Denmark. The one city in Denmark where no one speaks Danish, lol.
So other than Copenhagen, the only other things worth seeing in your country are only worth seeing because they're related to an English book series and American film series?
Danish is too hard for me to consider going anywhere else
no no.. I've been to Billund too! :)
Well, Legoland, but still.
Which is a joke, I've never actually visited Copenhagen, but I did visit Århus, I loved the ARoS museum there, wish I had had more time to also visit Den Gamle By.
And I've visited Jesperhus in Nykobing Mors.
To be fair.. most of those sights are piles of mud with sign posts.
For tourists I'd rather recommend the cold war museum, the original Lego land, the beaches on the west coast, hiking along the east coast fjords, the lakes at Silkeborg, the desert at Skagen, the ruins at Kalø, the various nature reserves.
There's plenty of stuff to see. May, June and August are the best times to visit. The rest of the year has unpredictable weather.
Just puddles of mudd
That's the hardest comeback I read for a while
American: I have been to Jutland! I love Jutland.
Visits Midtjylland only 🤡
Especially offensive if you are a Jut like moi. You motherfuckers come here and think Midtjylland is Denmark, yet entirely ignore the rest of Jutland and especially Vestjylland where the oldest viking town is, where Dronning Dagmar died, where witches were burned, where old fisheries and new energy tech stand side by side, where beautiful beaches are littered with crazy nazi bunkers, where you can go north and surf or go south and see the flattest fucking place in the world, walking across the Vadehav to a literal island at low tide.
But no no. mIdTjYlLaNd is Denmark. The one place in Jutland where no one speaks Jutlandic, lol.
Bro give me your best tips on where to go in this magical place. What to do, what to see.
That is if you'll welcome me, an ignorant neighbour Swede who's only ever been to Copenhagen also and thinks it's Denmark.
