Default What are the best places to travel in europe this summer 2009?

Starting the trip off in geneva, and looking to go to germany possible austria and maybe parts of eastern europe.. 4 of us are students so budget is tight, but also looking to have fun i.e if they're any good festivals or cheap gigs going on. We're only travelling for 10 days so we're looking to see the best of the best. Heat factor and train prices will also be a factor

If you search 'Whats On' (or similar) for the country of your choice you should get some idea of the events being held, plus dates.
Nothing will be 'cheap' due to the exchange rates. Be prepared for rain, north Austria suffered from heavy rain with flash floods last week (also northern Italy).

Yeah, it is. It's actually a small town with around 1000 inhabitants. They say it's one of the most picturesque places in Europe. The whole town is built on the steep banks of the lake..I just saw a documentary about it.
