Florence, Italy
Who should go: art lovers, Renaissance
historians and leather handbag shoppers with high credit limits.
When to go: spring or fall. Travelers
usually avoid summer in Florence.
Paris, France
Who should go: starving artists, Henry
Miller fans, traditional food lovers.
When to go: spring is the best time. That's
what they all say, anyway. Autumn isn't bad, either, but I'd rather be rooting
around the south of France in search of truffles (松露) in autumn. Summer in Paris isn't bad, really.
Amsterdam, Holland
Who should go: lovers of Dutch Master (artists
I mean, like Rembrandt, not cigars), bicyclists—it's a bike city in a flat
land.
When to go: it can rain at any time in
Amsterdam, but that's not a reason for not visiting this fascinating city. Off
season tourists will be rewarded with good enough weather to stick around. Summer
is good for sun lovers.
Madrid, Spain
Who should go: night owls—Madrid never sleeps, art lovers—the Prado is second only
to the Louvre in presenting serious art, party-goers.
When to go: spring, when days are warm and
the nights are pleasantly cool. Demand for outside eating and drinking starts
becoming stronger in March or April. Street life peaks in June and then slows
in July and August as the temperature peaks. Autumn is also good, although you'll
risk some rains.
Venice, Italy
Who should go: romantic dreamers who like
walking through automobile-free streets, your mother (she'll want you to take
her there, trust me), almost anyone who wants to see something really different
and romantic.
When to go: February is the time when the
famous Venice Carnival is held and the weather is usually cold and
foggy—perfect weather for Venice. Summer? A large number of tourists in shorts
and whiny children ruin the atmosphere. You'll greatly enjoy yourself there in
spring and early fall.
