Yes, it more then I ever thought it would be. You can just feel the history walking down the streets in Germany, Austria and more. And the people were wonderful. It's amazing, and there's so much to do and see and learn! You should go if you can. There are some travel packages where you can take the train, just about anywhere too. It's a great way to travel!

What is cool in his opinion may be mundane to others.

We all have our own likes and dislikes.

It also depends where you live and in which part of the world.

Europe in my opinion is old and too baroque. . .if you know what I mean.

Go somewhere refreshing where nature is still unspoiled and the demographic revolution has not yet reached it.

P.S. If you are into classical European history, this would be the place to go to. . . .and be sure to take a lot of $$$$$$$ with you since the Euro is high at this time. Also do a lot of research or reading up on the country or where you want to travel to. Europe has a lot of history and has had many wars, there is a lot of information to follow up on before embarking on the trip. Knowing all the history of the location, makes the trip that much more cool. Happy trails!

Definitely YES. Your friend has made a very good decision!
