Top European Travel Destinations

Here you'll find information about the most popular European cities and destinations and recommendations about where to go on your European trip.

European Festivals

Festivals are a great addition to your European travel itinerary. Festivals are usually an inexpensive source of entertainment and eating as well as a chance to experience European life and mingle with the locals.

European Holiday Traditions

European holidays are sometimes different than American ones. Holidays like Halloween are becoming bigger in Europe, while Easter is more extensively celebrated.

Experiencing Europe

You can have a great time as a passive visitor to Europe. You can pay fees to go into historic buildings and museums and you can gawk in wonder at unfamiliar and beautiful things. You can spend many happy weeks doing this, but there are also active ways of experiencing Europe that many travelers find more rewarding. Here are some suggestions to get you started.
