Most Americans go to either Paris or London, and stays at an AirBNB in the worst ghetto they can find and always eat at McDonalds. It's basically the direct opposite of European culture and you'll get nothing from such "vacation". You're not even saving money which I guess is what people are trying to do.

All you have to do is the opposite of that -> Small town, speak to the locals about the best pubs and restaurants, avoid tourist areas or areas were foreigners like as those will be full of foreigners obviously. Book a proper hotel, not AirBNB. Don't get scared by list prices because that's the final amount you'll pay, there's no additional tax or tip required.

Stick to proper food without (((chemicals))) many weeks before you travel, or you'll spend most of your time on the shitter with severe diarrhea. This is because many of those (((chemicals))) are banned in EU, so you're gonna need a proper immune system to deal with Gods natural flavor of bacteria that exist in all non processed food.
