No more waiting for hours on end at some secondary European airport, nor pulling your hair out at the departure gate ’cause Ryanair staff suddenly decided your perfectly sized cabin bag doesn’t actually fit the measurer. “The wheels are sticking out,” huh? Yeah, classic. This summer, if you’re planning to country-hop around Europe, you can …

Brussels may be the obvious gateway into Belgium, but the Travel Off Path team has recently been reporting this once popular city has lost its luster — and largely without notice. While it’s true most travelers are still crossing through Brussels at one point or another, it’s being used as a springboard to other Belgium …

Listen, I have had my fair share of ‘pinch me’ moments and seen enough breathtaking places to become jaded after traveling to nearly every single European country. Belarus, I’m still coming for you, but it might take a few years. From hanging monasteries in the mountains of Greece, perched atop free-standing rock pillars, to medieval …

What is Europe anymore? Is it the dark side you see on TikTok and YouTube with scammers running rampant, or is it the storybook dreamscape we’ve all envisioned of one day visiting? Well, we hate to break it to you, but yes, the Eiffel Tower tends to be riddled with scammers, but also there are …

I don’t know if it’s just me, but haven’t all these overhyped, over-Instagrammed, rinse-and-repeat European capitals been flogged to death? Whether it’s the ‘gorgeous, aesthetic’ Haussmann streets of Paris, the ‘open-air museum’ that is Paris, or the ‘Victorian-elegance’ of London, it’s a movie we’ve seen (quite literally) a million times before. Everyone loves to joke …

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. …

If you think of fairytale castles, cobblestone towns frozen in time, and picturesque plazas lined with cafés, chances are you’re imagining Western Europe. As much as security has taken a turn for the worse in recent years—especially compared to the Eastern front—there’s no denying the West is absolutely stunning: from the canal-crisscrossed cities in the …

Let’s face it, as beautiful as those Mediterranean beaches may be, and as jaw-dropping as alpine peaks are, the primary reason why millions of travelers flock into Europe year in, year out is not the continent’s natural wonders: We’re here for the ancient culture, baby. Cobblestone streets that look like they’ve barely changed an inch …

If you’re heading to Europe this year, but you’re no longer charmed by Paris and its twinkling Eiffel Tower, London with its red telephone boxes, and Rome and its ancient sights, you should know you’re not the only one looking for alternatives to the usual tourism hotspots. According to a new report by Omio, one …

You’ve probably already scoped out Spain, Italy, Greece, and maybe even more Mediterranean gems for an unforgettable beach escape this summer, but what if you were told there’s a long stretch of secret coastline almost no Americans visit? Better yet, it’s only one flight away from numerous U.S. hubs, making for an easy journey across …

Oftentimes, Americans only have so many vacation days to use, which can make choosing where to go a daunting task. This is especially true when it comes to planning European travel. Do you follow the norm and visit Paris, or do you spin the globe and inney-minney-miney-moe Europe’s lesser-known getaways, such as North Macedonia or …

Venice is full! Or at least that’s what we’re hearing from their tourism board, which is introducing several schemes to reduce overtourism, including entry charges for the city.  So where could you go instead? I suggest Bruges!   Bruges, in Belgium has just been named the best European city to visit by train. But it offers …
