Europe Vacations & Trips

Your European Vacation

Whether you’re into beaches, history, food or landscapes, this diverse continent has enough to keep you occupied for a lifetime. Read on for ideas about cheap vacation packages in Europe and get your passport ready.

Beachside Bliss

For many travelers, the perfect Europe vacation package revolves around sun, sea and sand. Get your fill on Spain’s most famous beaches, from San Sebastian and the Costa del Sol on the mainland to the warm-year-round Canary Islands. In Greece, hop through some of its 6,000 islands such as Santorini and Mykonos or sail to dreamy hideaways like Karpathos. With 300 days of sunshine annually and around 125 miles of coastline, it’s no surprise that the Algarve in Portugal is among Europe’s top beach resort areas. Meanwhile the Italian island of Sardinia, famous for its iridescent waters and fine white sand, regularly tops polls of the world’s best beaches.

Culture & Sightseeing

Packed with culture and major attractions, Paris is always a good idea! Climb the Eiffel Tower, stare at the Mona Lisa in the Louvre and wander the streets of charming Montmartre. In Rome, you’ll come face to face with history at almost every turn. Check out the Colosseum and Trevi Fountain before exploring Italy’s other wonders like the Leaning Tower of Pisa and Grand Canal of Venice. In Athens, walk around the ruins of the Acropolis and in London, see Big Ben and Buckingham Palace. The mysteries of Stonehenge are a day trip away. How about a Europe vacation package to Barcelona? Here, be wowed by the architecture of Sagrada Familia and dance the flamenco. Olé!

Outdoor Adventures

What if mountains, fjordlands or forests are your idea of heaven? When it comes to nature, Iceland dazzles with its electric blue ice caps, black-sand beaches and vast lava fields. Take a dip in the Blue Lagoon and tick a must-do off the list. If skiing is your thing, head for the Swiss Alps to shred under the shadow of the mighty Matterhorn. In the Scottish Highlands, hike the rugged Isle of Skye and keep an eye out for the Loch Ness Monster (Nessie) at Loch Ness lake. Scandinavia is a dream for outdoor enthusiasts. Sail through the fjords of Norway, chase the northern lights in Finland and hike through lush forests around Stockholm, Sweden. Be sure to add some activities or experiences to your Europe vacation package for the ultimate adventure.

Vacations for Foodies

It’s time to eat your way through Europe! In Brussels, Belgium, chow down on moules-frites (mussels and French fries), Belgium chocolate and waffles and then wash it all down with a beer. Bring your appetite to the birthplace of pizza, Naples. Order a slice from a hole-in-the-wall restaurant to find out why it’s considered the world’s best. While you’ll no doubt think of wine when it comes to Bordeaux, this French culinary haven is also renowned for its oysters, foie gras and canelé pastries. Tapas, paella and churros dipped in chocolate are on the menu in Madrid, while Portugal’s capital Lisbon serves up delicacies from pastéis de Belém (custard tarts) to grilled sardines.

Europe Packages on a Budget

If you’re looking for cheap vacation packages in Europe, Budapest won’t break the budget. The Hungarian capital’s exceptional beauty and famous landmarks (like Buda Castle) have earned it the nickname of the “Paris of the East.” In Slovenia, pristine nature full of mountains, rivers and caves await along with castles and museums. Want to do the Mediterranean on the cheap in Malta? There are gorgeous beaches, charming villages and medieval fortified cities to explore. Sicily also serves up a stellar lineup of sights for less, from the Valley of the Temples in the Province of Agrigento to the volcanic Aeolian Islands.

Luxury Locations

With destinations like theAmalfi Coast to tempt you, a European vacation package is your opportunity to splurge. This stretch of Italian coastline is home to Mediterranean superstars like the cliffside village of Positano and Capri, where you’ll find the magical Blue Grotto. If the French Riviera is calling your name, say bonjour to the “billionaires’ playground” of Monaco. Hit the famous Monte Carlo Casino and maybe even cruise around on a luxury yacht. Glamorous Nice, Cannes and Saint-Tropez are just over the border in France. Ibiza is one of Spain’s most famous luxury destinations. Its crystal-clear waters, white sands and epic nightlife have long attracted celebrities and party-loving travelers.
