When to fly to Europe
Tailoring your travels to the seasons can allow for quieter, more personal sightseeing, ensuring your European adventure aligns seamlessly with your unique preferences and aspirations.
Summer
Summer is the busiest time of year in Europe. Enjoy sun-drenched adventures, open-air dining, strolling through street markets or gateway to the country-side to sip away at picturesque wineries.
Autumn/Spring
With more inviting weather for sightseeing, this period offers the perfect blend of relishing attractions without little to no crowds while basking in the warmth of the sun during the extended daylight hours.
Winter
Embrace the cold and witness the beauty of European winter. Experience the magic of a winter Christmas as the cobblestone streets transform into a festive wonderland with twinkling lights.
Tips for travelling in Europe
Whether you’re travelling solo, with your children, or for business, here are our top tips for travelling in Europe.
Family trip
- Plan in advance – Be prepared and plan your itinerary in advance. Travelling with kids will create incredible memories, and knowing what your plans are upfront will reduce last minute planning and stress.
- Less is best – As tempting as it is to fit tens of cities into one trip, you and the kids will likely end up very exhausted. Pick a couple of the top places and truly explore them.
Business trip
- Check the currencies – There are over 25 different currencies in Europe, so make sure to compare currency exchange rates across banks and exchange companies. Having cash on you is always handy.
- Indulge in the local cuisine – There’s a lot to look forward to around your scheduled meetings, so explore the local cuisine – from fine dining to hearty classics.
Solo, friends or couple trip
- Pack light – You will want to explore as many cities as possible, and it’s likely you will be carrying your luggage on all types of transport to get around. Because of this, pack as lightly as you can.
- Join a guided tour – A walking, biking or bus tour will give you a real understanding of the local culture and history – and a good way to explore several sights in a few hours.
