W Europe Travel

W Europe Travel Feature Writer: Henk Bekker

From the cafes of Paris to the red light district of Amsterdam, from the Bavarian beer halls of Germany to the glitz of the French Riviera, Western Europe offers delectable Belgian chocolates and fine French wines, heart-pounding discos in Berlin and opera houses in Vienna.

Whether it's Versailles's history or quirky attractions like Manneken Pis in Brussels, an evening sing along in Cologne (German optional) or wandering the streets of Avignon once graced by Popes, the jewels of EU await.

We'll check out Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, but if you've been there and done something different, email and tell us about it.
