Touring Europe for the Time Poor

When you think about travel to Europe, you picture the amazing experiences hand in hand with long-haul flights, airport food, and jetlag. You ask yourself how long you need to go for to make it worthwhile. Do you have enough annual leave for a Europe holiday, or should you just take a quick trip closer to home?

Truth be told, you can spend years exploring the patchwork of cultures and history in Europe and still not see it all. Similarly, you can visit Europe on a short break and have the trip of a lifetime. With European tours of all lengths, it’s all about choosing the right one for you.

Here are some ways to frame the beauty of Europe in a short window.

The rapid-fire highlights

If you have a European checklist and not a lot of time, there are fast-paced Europe tours that give you a whirlwind taste of the highlights. Spend one evening devouring pork knuckle in a beer hall in Munich, and the next winding through the canals of Venice on a traditional gondola.

Spend the morning uncovering artwork by Michelangelo in Florence, and the afternoon exploring the Colosseum and tossing a coin into the Trevi Fountain in Rome. These speedy trips are the perfect taster if you don’t have much time and give you an insight into where you may like to indulge your palate for longer if you get the chance.

In-depth regional explorations

Not all Europe holidays need to be expansive or fast-paced to fit everything within your window. If you are short on time, you can still get a relaxing in-depth experience and truly immerse yourself in the local life. Slow down and choose a Europe tour that focuses on just one region and soak up everything it has to offer.

Spend a week in Paris discovering every corner of the city of love, bask in the warm breeze of the Mediterranean and admire the artwork as you devote seven days to exploring Barcelona and Madrid, or relish a week in Tuscany sightseeing the rolling hills and indulging in the mouth-watering cuisine. Wherever you are dreaming of, you can get a truly quintessential experience in a short time with an array of immersive Europe tours to choose from.

The thematic trip

Europe holidays are often bursting at the seams with riveting history, modern nightlife, staggering monuments, delectable cuisine, scenic landscapes and unique cultural experiences. If you are short on time and don’t want to rush, it can be hard to pack it all in. So, don’t.

Often Europe tours are comprehensive and offer something for everyone, but if you are not as interested in the gardens and just want to eat the food, then choose a culinary tour so you get the most out of your trip. Alternatively, if it is the flora that gets you going, choose a special interest garden itinerary for your Europe holiday. Choosing themed tours to Europe means you are getting the most out of your holiday, because, after all, it is yours.
