Europe
Europe is a dream travel destination.
There are so many different countries, cultures, languages, cuisines, and landscapes – all packed into a relatively small area. It’s easy to see why Europe is such a popular place.
The incredible historical and cultural wealth of cities like London, Paris, Rome and Amsterdam speak for themselves. But these places, amazing as they are, make up only a fraction of what Europe has to offer.
Head a little off the beaten path and you’ll discover an entirely different side to the continent.
Check out the Albanian Riviera, which is every bit as stunning as its French and Italian cousins. Or the castles of Transylvania, soaked in history and framed by the beautiful Carpathian mountains. Or the picturesque medieval cities of the Baltic states.
There’s so much to see and experience in Europe.
