Best First Tour Destination

My 22 year old son invited me to spend 10 days in Europe with him, but he can’t decide where. We are spending a week in Lofoten Islands as a family, but when everyone else heads home, he still has time. We’ll be in Munich, but could head anywhere. He doesn’t want to go to big cities, and doesn’t like heat. Any recommendations?

Need some more info. When are you going? What interests you both? Art? History? Nature? Cuisine? Are you looking to relax or see as much as you can? How much are you prepared to move around? What counts as a big city, like where do you definitely NOT want to visit? Do you have a budget? Is there somewhere you need to end up to fly home?

As the previous poster said, give the forum some more information.

What month are you talking about?

After the family reunion in the Lofoten Islands, does your son have three days or ten days free?

And you are going to begin from Munich but where do you want to end up to fly home?

Knowing your departure airport would be of help. If you are spending a week out of your 10 days in the Lofoten Islands, one might expect it to take most of a day to get to Munich, leaving only a couple of days for anywhere else. To minimize wasted sightseeing time, you might pick somewhere close to Munich, if that is where you will fly home from. Perhaps Salzburg? Keep in mind that you will want to be in your departure city the night before you fly home.
