Travelling through Europe in the summer means warmer weather and longer days - the perfect conditions for exploration.
Summer has the uncanny ability to make good things even better. Take European travel, for example: the already charming landscapes and cityscapes become almost criminally delightful. Cafes and restaurants spill onto the pavement and parks buzz with activity. Culture envelopes you as festivals and celebrations fill the calendar, and visitors and locals alike are swept up in an infectious sense of joie de vivre. The sunshine brings warmth, creating the perfect conditions for outdoor activities and the longer days mean you can explore for even longer. Not to mention most of Europe's most famous attractions look even better against a blue sky!
There are unmissable experiences on every itinerary. You could gaze at the blindingly white marble columns of the Acropolis on an adventure to the legendary sites of Ancient Greece (just remember to pack your sunglasses) or follow the sequence of twists and spirals onboard an extraordinary alpine train journey through Switzerland's snow-capped peaks. Perhaps you'll explore Italy or France, both brilliant destinations for foodies looking to taste authentic, locally sourced cuisine.
And we don't just show you the places known to millions; we'll show you lesser-known places you'll want to tell your friends about. In Belgium, Bruges is a fairytale city well worth a visit despite being overshadowed by the more well-known capital, Brussels. With winding canals, cobblestone streets and medieval architecture to explore, it's perfect for a short break. Or maybe you're looking for postcard-perfect views, like those from the Slovenian town of Bled. Situated beside a pristine alpine lake with a castle perched on a cliff and an island topped with a church - it's practically paradise. (Don't miss trying the local specialty, Bled cream cake!).
With so much to choose from you're almost guaranteed to find your perfect trip this summer. And don't forget, our tours include everything you need within the price you pay. Like expertly crafted itineraries (made by our expert explorers), insightful excursions with local guides, hand-picked accommodation in the best locations, direct flights from your local airport at no extra cost, transfers and the services of a wonderful Riviera Tour Manager who’ll look after you throughout.
