I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for this sweltering heatwave to finally pass. Enough of island-hopping around the Maddalena archipelago, gelato by the pier in Amalfi, and toasting in the sun like fried calamari in Menorca. I’m counting down the days until it’s sweater, fireplace weather, and it’s time to escape to the …

Whether it’s crumbling under the weight of mass tourism or not, people will keep flocking from all over the world to Venice and its historic, canal-traversed center. They just can’t resist its maritime charm, and honestly, I get the appeal. Having visited La Serenissima three times myself, I can attest there’s truly nothing quite like …

It’s been a long minute since we’ve last had one of these, but after years of mulling over the introduction of new destinations, Eurostar is finally getting fresh new ideas off the drawing board. Starting in winter 2026, the popular company that oversees rail travel from Britain to mainland Europe will officially launch a brand-new direct …

Arrived late to Eurosummer? Unless you’re down for splurging on a $1,000-a-night villa on the Amalfi Coast, and you’re not exactly averse to crowds, you might want to save your little culture-infused getaway for a little later in the fall: This stunning coastal city in the Eastern Mediterranean has ancient ruins, gorgeous beaches, and turquoise …

The turquoise seas of the Mediterranean and all those classy Italian lidi are cool, but let’s not sit here and pretend the main reason we’re still drawn to Europe, and keep going back year after year after year, isn’t the fact that a random café on the corner is probably older than the country you’re …

If you’re planning on a little Euro getaway this fall, either for the Old World vibes of it all, or the stunning nature and fall colors, I have just the perfect spot for you that is yet to be overrun by the crowds, and where a hotel with a view won’t cost an arm and …

If you’ve developed a habit of reading the latest Travel Off Path issue as you sip your morning coffee for the past 7 years, you know by now we have a soft spot for uncovering hidden gems in Europe’s top tourism hotspots. Italy is probably the one we go back to every chance we get. …

Had enough of the Madrid and Barcelona clichés? Those 2 cities are probably where 90% of Spain-bound visitors from the U.S. will land, and beautiful as they may be, they’re far from being the best the Iberian country has to offer. As a matter of fact, unless you’re fine with passing a new ‘Tourist Go …

Not Paris and its hordes of Eiffel Tower scammers. Not Rome with the jam-packed Historic Center and ornate fountains behind paywalls. Definitely not Barcelona. If their menacing graffiti is anything to go by, Catalans don’t even want you in their city, to begin with. Europe’s fastest-growing destination right now is a picture-perfect capital that never …

Kinda late to Eurosummer planning and now you’re mulling over booking an early fall getaway, only to gawk at the shocking prices in Barcelona and the last few, nearly sold-out Santorini hotels? We feel you, but there’s no reason to panic just yet. If you’re keen on a little off-season coastal escape, with a dash …

Only a few months after one of Europe’s longest rail journeys was announced, linking three of Central Europe’s most beautiful countries, Leo Express has already made it even better. The operator has just added brand-new couchette carriages to what was previously an all-seated overnight train. In other words? No more trying to survive an overnight …

You’ve probably already seen it on the big screen this week before you even realized this was a real place you could actually visit in the flesh. If you’ve hopped on the Odyssey hype bandwagon, you might have stared in awe at the imposing hilltop castle that stood in for Ithaca in the film, or …
