3 Weeks alone in Europe - where would you go (moderate budget)?

My sister is spending the summer in Europe & already is spending time in Italy (Rome, Venice, Florence), Spain (Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Malaga, Seville), Portugal (Lisbon, Porto, Faro), Greece, Istanbul & south of France.

I was thinking the north part of Spain (Leon, Bilbao, San Sebastián) for a week & maybe two weeks in England/Scotland but would love to hear y’all’s ideas!

If she wants the most out of her budget central/Eastern Europe is the absolute move. Croatia, Slovakia, Czechia, Poland (pending current events) etc — all cheap, all beautiful.

Bury me in Poland best country on the planet

While I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the UK, my wallet hurt afterwards. It can be done on a budget, but there are definitely cheaper options.

Also adding Ibiza if she’s in Spain. Definitely not the cheapest option but Spanish domestic flights tend to be cheap and Ibiza in the on-season is an incredible experience for young people, even for just a few days

I really enjoyed my time in Lagos Portugal

Agree with Central Europe recommendations (Poland, Austria, Czechia/Czech Republic, Hungary) or Baltics (more pricey) are nice as well.

If you go to England and want to avoid London go to Wales…esp. North Wales, Betsy-y-Coed and Snowdonia mountains, Somerset/Devon is beautiful, north York moors. Personally prefer Wales

Munich for Oktoberfest - Vienna for some wine and vineyard and prague then Budapest.

Maybe a better way to phrase it is that MBA applicants seem to have a fairy tale view of consulting as a whole. I get the impression that people think a job in consulting is a magic ticket anywhere
