T H E GA P Y E A R B U C K E T L I S T | 05

T H E GA P Y E A R B U C K E T L I S T | 05

0 1 PARDON MY FRENCH. Paris is a love affair meant to be continued. It starts with a romantic rendezvous under Pont-Marie, a fleeting

kiss at the Eiffel Tower and a history lesson at

Muse du Louvre. Its home to the Mona Lisa and

Coco Chanel, Jay-Z went here for his birthday and

kissing in public is encouraged. And dont get us

started on the food.

PAGE. 8, 9, 10.

0 2 PRAGUE: GIMME THE GOULASH. Its hard to shake that Disneyland feeling. With a castle that looks like its straight out of a fairytale,

14th century stone bridges and local cuisine that

will literally meat your expectations (no we didnt

spell that wrong), Prague is guaranteed to impress.

Eat: head cheese and deep fried toast with raw

beef. Or just have a goulash. We wont judge.

PAGE. 8, 9, 10.

0 3 DUBROVNIK DUBSTEP. The country that brought you the necktie, Dalmatians and a currency named after an adorable little

rodent, also happens to host the hottest city in

Europe right now. Think: baroque buildings behind

medieval city walls, epic Adriatic Sea sunsets and

glitzy nightlife.

PAGE. 10.

0 4 SAILING THE MEDITERRANEAN. Life is all about choices. When youre sailing in Greece, the decisions get tough. Theres

the swimwear dilemma, the snorkeling versus

sunbathing predicament and the impossible toss-

up between jumping back in for a swim and staying

right where you are. Work the tan, live the dream,

forget the rest. Tough life, we know.

PAGE. 9, 10.

0 6 V FOR VENICE. You come for the gondolas and stay for the gelato. Cruise down ancient canals or island-hop your

way around in a vaporetto life here runs on

cruise control and so should you. Explore a never-

ending maze of marble churches and historical

relics making up one of the most complicated

architectural contraptions in human history.

PAGE. 8, 9, 10.

0 5 VISCA BARA! Welcome to the stomping ground of Dali and Gaudi, where the mouthwatering tapas is only rivalled by the sangria

and nights out come with a side of flamenco

dancing. Expect: hip bars, cosmopolitan funkiness

and a passion for football.

PAGE. 10.

0 7 SWISS ALPS. Yodeling, chocolate and cuckoo clocks aside, Switzerland is one of the most beautiful places in Europe. For a

country that runs like precision clockwork, theres

no shortage of time-passing opportunities. Take on

four languages and the highest railway station in

Europe (3,454 metres!). Also: cheese fondue.

PAGE. 8, 9, 10.

0 8 ICH BIN EIN BERLINER. Once bitten twice as funky. Despite nearly three decades of Cold War politics and bitter separation,

Berlin has bounced back as a hub of tolerance

and creativity. Visit the remnants of the notorious

Berlin Wall for a sobering Throwback Thursday

then equalise with a dose of the citys contagious

night vibes.

PAGE. 8, 9, 10.

GAP YEAR B U C K E T L I S T
