Iconic art, rolling landscapes, fascinating history and delicious food; there's more than one reason why more people than ever are holidaying in Europe.
Europe is the ideal destination for lovers of rich cultural vibrancy. Overshadowed by a vast historical landscape, the many varied places of interest are sure to melt the heart of even the most steadfast traveller. Why not explore some of these popular countries for the perfect European holiday?
Italy
Italy is a country with so many gems it's almost impossible to visit them all. Perhaps the best known is Venice, with its stunning architecture and water-paved streets. For many, it's Florence that ranks as the art centre of the universe, filled with some of the greatest murals, paintings, and sculpture in Western Civilisation. No trip to Italy can be deemed comprehensive unless you've spent at least a few days exploring the streets, art museums, gardens, and villas of this Northern Italian city.
Scotland
For spectacular scenery, you can't go past the majesty of the Highlands. Generally drier than its southern neighbours, Inverness is certainly a place to visit. The River Ness runs through it, complete with old bridges and riverside benches. Inverness castle dominates the skyline and the riverbanks are lined with gorgeous old buildings. It's a charming mix of modern shopping, old-style pubs and cobbled streets.
France
France's charms are manifest, whether it is the chic boulevards of Paris, the sparkling ski slopes of the Alps, sunlit vineyards, a tour of the majestic châteaux of the Loire, or a relaxing picnic in Provence, where the air is fragrant with wild herbs and lavender. One of the best ways to see Provence is through a cycling tour, where you can explore the stunning vineyards and fields and discover the heart of the countryside up close. And no visit is complete without a trip to Paris, one of the world's great cities. With a practically endless amount of things to do, it rewards repeated and extended visits.
Ireland
The Republic of Ireland has some of the most varied and unspoilt scenery in Europe. From long, gently sloping strands (beaches) and semi-tropical bays warmed by the Gulf Stream, to rocky sea cliffs, headlands, mountains, and attractive villages and towns, Ireland really is magical. Add to that a laid-back approach to life that is without equal and you have a destination that cannot be beaten.
