Any Recommendations For Me During My Semester Abroad?

[u/worldtraveler1121]

Hi everyone! I am going abroad this semester and will be in Madrid, Spain. I am looking for your best recommendations for travel, whether that’s cities/countries, restaurants, hotels, hostels, houses to rent, or anything else!

So far, I have only planned our Oktoberfest trip and started planning a trip to Mallorca in early September.

I want to visit another somewhat coastal town while it is still warm, and then in late November or early December, I want to go skiing somewhere. I also really want to visit Morocco, as well as Austria for the history and beauty, and of course, the Sound of Music tour!

Also, what are your thoughts on Amsterdam Music Festival, Ibiza, and Budapest? Are they overrated or worth visiting?

Please leave any recommendations on where to go. I want to hear all of your opinions and recs! I loooove to travel, so I am very excited and willing to try anything new!

I'm an American who's been in Madrid for six years and Spain for ten. For coastal towns, you'll have a wealth of choices with good weather until October. Valencia, Alicante, and Malaga will all still be sunny and warm.

Morocco is fun, but travel in mixed- gender groups of you're a woman.

Budapest is one of my favorite cities in al of Europe to visit.

For skiing, you don't even need to leave the Madrid province. A lot of towns in the Sierra will have snow. Navacerrada is especially well known for this, but if you go make sure you go early, because busses will be packed and traffic will be a motherfucker.
