I researched a lot of places there for a trip last November. I wanted to go to The Kitchin (Michelin starred) in Leith, but my daughter vetoed it. Very expensive. We went to Noto (Michelin starred) in New Town instead as it had vegetarian options. It was fantastic, but still pricey.

Edinburgh recs here. I researched a lot of places there. I wanted to take my daughter and 2 others to The Kitchin (Michelin starred) in Leith, but she vetoed it. We went to Noto (Michelin starred) in New Town instead as it had vegetarian options. It was fantastic.

re: LA advice
Posted by TigersMaul Bammers on 6/1/23 at 10:45 am
My advice is to stay in the South Bay area - Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, or Redondo Beach. I prefer Manhattan and Hermosa.
You can walk or rent bikes for the beach path from Manhattan all the way down to Redondo.
Uber is a better way to go unless you want to travel to nearby PV Peninsula ...

In Rome, if it is your first time there, you should try to see: St. Peters/Vatican, Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel, Piazza Navona, Castel Sant'Angelo, Colo...

You want to get this for Florence in the summer. No line for the Uffizi and super short lines (of other card holders) for the Duomo and Accademia (David) in the summer are worth the price.

Obtain and use a credit card with no international transaction fees (and try to pay in local currency when offered).

1. Milan does not suck. Plenty of great food, architecture (Duomo), and art (The Last Supper).
2. If you do go there from Paris, you should fly. The fast train takes too long due to stops in France....
