More Sassy Girl's Guide to Europe

A couple suggested adds/subtractions to the Sassy Girl's Guide to Europe:

Mom & V suggest adding Lisbon: "Easy, affordable, friendly, no hassles. Doesn't reach the heights of Paris, Rome, etc, but very little downside."

Mom also chastises my shocking omission of Venice: "Only the MOST romantic city on the planet!" I found it cold and overpriced, although it IS Venice. So you gotta go, I guess.

Sonia disputes my Budapest description: "I think it's a great place for a weekend. Small enough to have a great wander around but big enough to have some adventures. Perhaps the group of five girls getting invited into an after drinks party by the waiters at a posh restaurant and drinking half the lovely wine the cellar added to the experience..." Yeah I'm sure the cellar of wine made the city a little more welcoming than I found it!

My lovely husband likes Siena: "Less touristed than Florence but equally important and The Palio - the crazy horse race around the town - is memorable".

And gotta love Linda's recommendation for The Hague: "she must must must go to the torture museum in the hague! it's like abu ghraib on less than 50 bucks a day."

i would have to agree w/you on venice - if being gropped my men and packs of men, as you pass-by or from behind is your idea of a swell time, well then...by all means, GO!
