It’s almost impossible to summarise Europe as a whole. The highlights reel would run into hours. Europe is the traveller’s lolly jar: lots of epic, distinct destinations and experiences packed into a relatively small space.
Road tripper? Beach lover? Island hopper? Alpine adventurer? Maybe you’re happy wandering ancient towns for hours on end? Perhaps, like us, you’d go to extreme lengths to hunt down an original Caravaggio or search out the remnants of an ancient Roman road. Or maybe you like nothing better than sipping a sunset vino sourced from nearby vines, while watching the world go by in a local town square. Europe offers a little bit of travel Nirvana for everyone. The history, culture, food, people, tradition, architecture and, of course, the nature will always keep us coming back for more.
