Colmar, Strasbourg and Eguisheim with base in Colmar. Basel if you have time.

Tuscany, Italy - you can visit Bologna, Modena, Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra, Pisa - base in Florence


While these are all great suggestions, the last one in particular is likely to be HOT, which OP said she didn't want. I agree with the Copenhagen suggestion- there is so much to do and daytrip options as well.


Paris is also hot. It’s in the 80s already, July will be miserable.

6 days is not enough time to properly enjoy a vacation.

Too hot in summer and very over-touristed. Lovely city otherwise though.


It’s a shame to go to Amsterdam at a time when you will miss the tulips in the Spring.

Most people use Oslo as a jumping point to fjords, Bergen, etc. But 6 days is hot enough time.

If you like museums 6 days is not too long in Amsterdam. There or Copenhagen.

We are thinking of Amsterdam - is 6 days too long? A day trip or two is possible, but we want to stay in one hotel the entire time. Where else would you go? Heat is an issue, so we do not want to go to southern Europe. All ideas welcome!
