    Kinda proud that I found this in about 1 minute. No experience or skills, I usually only watch your videos ocassionally. I only spent one day in Luxembourg ever (I'm from Germany) but even before you off-handedly guessed it in the beginning, I immediately Luxembourg because of green canyon-like slope between Bjorn and the buldings and I took your comment as fate and for the first time ever stopped the video and tried to find it myself. Scroll through the city for a couple of seconds, then googled tower in Luxembourg, corrected to square towers, then to square church towers and found it. It was easy from there and I realised that I even was in the exact same spot on my visit if I remeber correctly (although that didn't help too much). Really fun, as others have pointed out, that you gave up after the tower could be seen on screen and your mouse hovered over the correct spot. Anyway, despite being an absolute newby in this field, the rush of finding the spot so quickly (and at all) gave me a glimpse of how exciting it must be for you to find these locations. Great vieos, keep it up and you should clearly trust your little off-handed insticts!

They've always slightly put me off for how long they were, but I am so glad I gave them a go. Your straight line missions, and how not to travel through Europe were class. I've completed them all now and only within a few days... I didn't know it's something I ever wanted to watch to be honest, but I got hooked. You're a great story teller, and I really look forward to anymore you have planned in the future. So yeah, just wanted to say cheers, and keep up the good work!

    It pains me that at 13:24 you can see it in the background about 10 seconds before you decide it's not Luxembourg! If only you'd spent an extra 30 seconds looking would have saved you a bit more

    One thing I've noticed in these vids is you don't make use of the +/- symbols when searching Google. + means all results have to include that keyword and - means all results with that word are removed. For example if you see a sign for "Opera" if you search "famous opera halls -Sydney" all results about Sydney are removed.
    Just a tip that might help

    I´m guessing this photo was taken on or around the 7th of October 2016. Why? Here´s my strategy: So Bjorn was wearing a Swedish jersey. My first thought was: Why is he wearing a Swedish jersey, that does seem to be a bit random (at least for me). Further, this photo does look like a touristy photo with the scenery behind it. So maybe he was representing Sweden on an away gameday. So I checked which year this jersey was introduced (2014/2015) and looked up which games Sweden had during this time or as in this case maybe a bit later. You can immediately exclude some cities based on the vibe of the photo and limited the search to a couple of cities! I mean it would still take a while to find it then but eventually, you´ll end up in Luxembourg where Sweden won 0:1 on the 7th of October 2016.

      That's what I did as well (though 2 years later). More Euros don't wear their kits except on game days and you would be more likely to go to a touristy location & take a pic when it's an away match. And you can date most kits to their releases.

    Hi Tom, great video, thanks for keeping making these along with everything else. Really enjoyed the Scotland series even with the abrupt ending. I think I saw another commenter say this, but once lockdown is all over, I'd really like to see another How not to travel Europe series, as that was genuinely one of the coolest series you've done to date, just the lighthearted, more chaotic slightly less planned journey is a really refreshing idea. Also excited for another straight line mission, when you can safely do another one. Anyway, thank you, and keep it up!

    At 21:30, when you pointed out that the stone may have been updated and the look different than the other sections, you missed the fact that the 8 pillars supporting the stone railing sections in the Bjorn photo are resting on a short row of stone and not directly on the sidewalk area where his feet are (only a couple inches high at most). The new sections that you pointed out are the only ones that look that way. All the sections to the left where you moved have those pillars directly on sidewalk level. Just a kind of detail that might be useful in the future since I think it would have been easier to place the final spot.
