Enough with the Côte d’Azurs, Amalfi Coasts, and Costa del Sols of the world: 3 of Europe’s best-known coastlines may be stunning and have a lot to offer, but I don’t know about you; I’m not exactly keen on spending $200–$550 a night on hotels, nor battling the cruise crowds for a spot in the …

Not Amalfi and its overpriced, celeb-frequented beach clubs. Nor Nice, anchored by the French Riviera and the jet-setting Cannes. Definitely not Mallorca, either: if anything, Spain’s Mediterranean hotspot is actively chasing tourists away. The fastest-growing Med destination right now is tucked away in the lesser-explored Balkan Peninsula, where it’s less about overpolished resorts and influencer-packed …

There is an unspoken rule in European travel right now: if a destination has stunning turquoise waters, ancient architecture, and towering mountain peaks, it is going to completely empty your wallet. When I sit down to map out our summer travel budget, I run into the exact same ridiculous roadblock. You look at the cost …

Dreaming of long, lazy afternoons sitting by a trattoria by the pier, people-watching as you sip on that rosé wine? Or then driving down winding coastal roads that lead right down to glassy, endless seas? The Mediterranean’s calling—literally at like, every 2 reels you scroll past—and it’s time you answer. If you’re a bit taken …

It’s a story as old as time: European countries are super laid-back, refreshingly practical, and wonderfully uncomplicated… right up until they join the EU. For nearly a decade now, Albania has been a beacon of freedom for travelers, especially digital nomads looking for hassle-free ways to extend their time in Europe. As you probably know …

Eurosummer is right upon us, and suddenly everyone you see on your socials seems to be living it up in an exclusive beach club in Amalfi, or posing for that Insta-perfect blue-dome shot in Santorini. Listen, it may look like Europe is synonymous with splurging on an $800-a-night Greece villa, or paying upwards of $100 …

To no surprise, London, Paris, and Barcelona are not Europe’s cheapest destinations. With a name like Travel Off Path, sometimes you have to do just that to save the big bucks. A new U.K. based report unveiled explicit details as far as pricing goes, listing 4 underrated cities that are well worth your while for …

Money talks, and we’re about to prove it. Some travelers are like moths to a flame — or in my house, moths to a lightbulb — following the same well-worn path to the Greek islands, the French Riviera, or anywhere in Spain that sounds sexy to say out loud. But today, with some help from …

Some say a beach is a beach; it doesn’t matter where you are. I say those people haven’t been to Galveston and Destin — two completely different, yet wildly popular, Gulf Coast getaways that are nothing alike. The same can be said all across the world: not every Greek island is a mirror image of …

Unless you’ve been living under a rock in recent months, chances are you’ve heard of Europe’s new, and frankly, pretty controversial Entry/Exit System (or EES). Designed to track overstayers in the Schengen Area, it now requires Americans to provide fingerprints and other biometrics upon arrival in Europe, and people aren’t exactly thrilled about it for a whole …

We’ve all heard extensively of Paris and its glamorous Haussmann-designed boulevards and soaring Eiffel, London with the red telephone boxes and unmissable Victorian clock, and Madrid’s grand boulevards and imperial parks. That’s the itinerary of every tourist going to Europe for the first time, and while we’re not really mad at them—these hotspots are famous …

Let’s cut right to the chase: yeah, that headline is a bold claim. Visiting 100+ medieval European towns takes years of obsessive travel, and a borderline-nerdy passion for Gothic history that’d make most big-brained Oxford scholars jealous. I’m no prof, but I’ve always loved getting lost in the shadowy alleys of a 15th-century walled town. …
