From fairytale towns and medieval castles to waterfront villas and delicious cuisine, Europe is one of the coolest continents on Earth. Hop on a short flight or train ride and you’ll be transported to a different country with its own unique heritage, language, identity, and gastronomical scene.
In Europe, you have a lot of everything: quaint villages, historic architecture, tasty food, and epic landscapes to name a few. Stay in an igloo as you gaze at the Aurora Borealis in Iceland, Sweden, Finland, or Norway. Get lost exploring the mega cities of London and Paris. Indulge in the local pasta and wine in a coastal Italian town. No matter the time of year, there’s plenty of unique things to do in Europe that will lure you back again and again.
