Explore Europe

Europe.

Find your kind of Europe: a few cities by rail, time beside a lake, an island stay or a slower road journey. Explore 47 guides with practical choices to start planning.

Choose the journey before the checklist

Forty-seven guides offer different ways into Europe. The season often decides between them. Summer gives the Nordic and Baltic guides their longest days and opens the Alpine walking season, but brings heat to Rome, Madrid and Andalusia, where spring and autumn suit long walking days better. From late November, Central European cities add Christmas markets while northern days grow short. Start with the kind of days you want, then choose a small number of places with realistic connections. The suggested pacing is a starting point for your own trip.

Cities connected by rail

Compare Austria, Germany and Switzerland for city-and-landscape journeys. France, Italy and Spain help you choose fewer bases and give major cultural visits their own time.

Islands, lakes and quieter stays

Choose Greece or Malta around the island experience you want. Compare Slovenia for lakes and valleys, Finland for a season-led northern stay, and Ireland for one considered stretch of Atlantic coast.

Small places with their own story

Andorra and Liechtenstein deserve deliberate mountain choices. San Marino is a hilltop heritage visit, while Vatican City helps distinguish museum and basilica arrangements within a Rome stay. These guides complement wider country routes.

Further east: our Belarus, Russia and Ukraine guides open up the historic cities and heritage of the east of the continent.

Before choosing: share available nights, season, walking comfort and the three experiences that matter most. Entry and border arrangements differ across Europe, and we go through them for your complete journey with you.
