Why not do both? Don't go fight the crowds at all the popular "hot spots" in Europe. For your next vacation, consider visiting one of the exotic European Islands. It will be a unique travel experience that you won't soon forget! Why Travel to a European Island?

Sitting on a natural terrace with tremendous views over the Bernese Oberland, the village of Wengen has a lot to offer:  après-ski, fresh mountain air, thigh-burning exercise, hearty meals.
