19 Chick-Flicks To Watch Before Traveling To Europe

In less than six months, my best friend and I are packing our bags and heading for the land of legal wine tastings, absurd amounts of baguettes and pastries, and the sites of London, Paris, and Rome. If, like me, you’ve never set foot on European soil, you’re a little bit anxious, perhaps a little bit scared of the jet-lag, different currency, or the crazy amounts of carbs. Without a doubt, you’re so excited you could probably even leave now. What better way to prepare for this experience than by watching movies (ones that you’ve probably seen before) but with a new perspective because these locations are going to be your playground and the next 8-10 of your Instagrams in less than 6 short months. (PSA: only slightly kidding about that being the best way to prepare--maybe Google some things or buy a guidebook.) If you want to know just what to expect from that first whiff of foreign air before you begin your adventures, but with a twist of only slightly believable movie magic, here is a list of the most ridiculous chick-flicky movies about Europe that you will ever see in your life.
