3. Unique Cities

Paris, Venice, London, Prague, Barcelona… every city in Europe has its own unique feel and vibe.

Europe surely has to be home to the most “must visit” cities in the world.

6. Islands and Seaside Towns

Beset in and along the coast of the Mediterranean, Adriatic and Aegean Seas lie some of the most beautiful islands and towns in the world.

You can easily stumble across some hidden gems.

7. Football

Whether you love it or don’t understand it, sample a game in Europe to see the best that this sport has to offer.

8. Food

Yes everyone has tried pizza before, but it tastes much better from a genuine Italian Pizzeria, than a fast food chain.

Again the diversity of Europe means food is very distinctive in each place you visit.

The longer the queue, the better the food.

9. Access

Europe is a very small continent with excellent and reasonably priced transport links, making it extremely easy to get around.

This access means you can be shopping in Paris on Wednesday, skiing in Italy the next few days and then on a beach in Greece by the weekend.

10. The Alps

The Alps are one of the most beautiful and accessible mountain ranges in the world.

Austria, France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland all have great hikes and ski slopes in the midst of the range.
