Are you planning a breakaway in Europe but unsure where to go? You’re in luck – Europe is bursting with incredible destinations, each offering its own unique charm, culture, and experiences. Whether you’re after a vibrant city like France, stunning coastlines in Scotland, or historic towns in Germany, there is something for everyone.
Along with there being so many destinations to visit, there are also many types of holidays that you can go on in Europe. Depending on your interests, you could book a Mediterranean cruise and see various cities and countries. On the other hand, you could book a walking holiday (such as this walking holiday in Scotland) and discover the beautiful landscapes that you will explore. Of course, there is always a city break which you can opt for – Paris in France is simply stunning!
Below we have put together a brief guide on three holiday ideas in Europe.
Walking holiday in France
Have you ever been on a walking holiday before? If not, a hiking holiday in France is a fantastic way to start. You can visit for as many days as you would like and see as much as you can fit in, depending on the trip you choose. Trips are based all over the country, from discovering the castles in the Loire Valley, to walking in Chablis Vineyards in 9 days. People love walking holidays because they offer a unique way to explore new places up close and at your own pace. Plus, it gives you the chance to stay active, whilst being away.
Mediterranean cruise
Cruising is a little like Marmite, you either love it or hate it, but you have to give it a try to find out. A lot of people love cruising because you get to see multiple destinations in one trip. One minute you will be in Marseille, the next you will be waking up as you approach Valencia. The ships themselves are like floating cities, packed with a wide range of amenities – from impressive restaurants and lively entertainment venues to swimming pools, spas, and fitness centres – ensuring you are fully entertained on board. It’s a holiday you have to try out before you know if you will like it or not. And a Mediterranean cruise is a good one to start with.
City break in London
When it comes to city breaks, you can’t beat London! It has everything from award-winning restaurants & impressive theatre shows, to rooftop cocktail bars & world-class attractions. One minute you could be walking along Southbank enjoying an ice-cream, the next you could be exploring the Tower of London and learning about England’s past. There are plenty of accommodation options – from affordable boutique hotels and charming guesthouses to luxury five-star stays – making it easy to find a place that suits your budget and style.
Whether you decide on a walking holiday in France, a cruise or a city break, we are sure you’ll have a great time. Where are you planning on visiting in Europe, and what are you planning on doing?
