As a child my family and I lived overseas and we travelled to many places in Europe. Unfortunately, most everyone who ever came on those trips with us is now deceased and I'm having a very rough time trying to identify where some of the places may have been.

We lived in Italy, travelled to Luxembourg, Lichtenstein, West Germany, Switzerland, France, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Denmark, Netherlands, Czechoslovakia, and so on.

If you can recognize or even offer a suggestion regarding where these may have been taken, it would be a huge boon. They aren't all from the same location, but I've tried to scan some of the pictures that may be more easily identifiable from various photo albums thinking if I can just get a city/village for one, I can go from there.




























And I tried the Google image search, this was one of the closest matches to the Posiedon fountain LoL

Am I correct in thinking that all of these photos you yourself uploaded from a family album or such?

P.S it looks like you've been to Versailles or whatever palace it was modeled after.

The sphinx could be from the Belvedere Gardens in Vienna.

And the Athena statue in front of the big building is from the Parliament Building in Vienna as well.

EDIT: This is a little like playing Carmen Sandiego!

That is a huge help LadyGodiva. Thank you!

And the miniature structures are Madurodam I found out.

Only hit a few places in Germany, but don't recognize any of that.
