Eurosummer’s right around the corner, and if you’re anything like us, chances are you’re probably halfway through planning your next hop across the pond. We’re truly sorry to stop you in your tracks, but before you book Capri, Santorini, Mallorca, and all the usual checklist islands the average tourist flocks to, we have a warning …

We’re not here to discuss whether climate change is truly humanity’s greatest woe or not, but we guess we can all agree these summers are getting unbearably hotter each passing year… Especially in the sun-scorched Mediterranean. Listen, we love a little Greek island hopping and scenic Amalfi drives ourselves, but not when it’s over 90 …

We’re not sure about you, but there’s no other way we’d rather explore Europe than by train. Though you could make an argument for sustainability, in reality, it goes far beyond that: Trains are generally more reliable than budget carriers like Ryanair and easyJet, you don’t risk getting charged upwards of $50 because the wheels …

Dreaming of medieval towns frozen in time, storybook castles straight out of a Disney sketch, and that slow-paced way of life that feels downright impossible on this side of the pond? Europe isn’t called the Old World for no reason, but sometimes, those dreamy vibes can take a somewhat… nightmarish turn. Trust me, there’s nothing …

Any Scandimaniacs out there? The homeland of the Vikings, famous for its lively port cities steeped in history, jaw-dropping nature, and that pleasantly mild climate—which, let’s be honest, is a bit of a godsend now that Southern Europe is basically frying in summer—the Scandinavian countries are all the rage right now. Because of the rugged …

We’re sure you’ve heard that old proverb ‘kill two birds with one stone’ at some point? If we’re thinking international travel, there’s nowhere better to apply it than Europe, a continent that has, for the most part, completely abolished internal passport checks, and where crossing internal borders feels as smooth as riding the Amtrak from …

After a quiet few months, with no major announcements, Europe’s Railway Renaissance is back, making headlines, and charging full speed ahead like never before. Starting next year, a new direct sleeper train from Basel, in Switzerland, to the Swedish city of Malmö is expected to hit the tracks, connecting the Alpine Central European hub to …

The Mediterranean is the number one destination for Americans crossing the pond this season: after all, it’s home to all of the most popular European beach hotspots, from Spain’s resort-lined Costa del Sol, down to Italy’s trendy Amalfi Coast. Beyond the usual crowds and eye-watering prices, however, there’s the usual issue of unbearably hot weather: …

Overlooked by Europe’s household names such as Paris, Barcelona, and Athens, too many travelers overlook Scandinavia, a sprawling region teeming with hidden gems. Unlike Scandinavia’s frigid reputation, you might be surprised to see wildflower blooms, sun-kissed beaches, and splendid weather warm enough to tap into Sweden’s Fika lifestyle on a cozy cafe patio come spring. …

Traveling to Europe in winter is not an idea that appeals to most people: It’s cold, for sure, daylight hours are limited, especially up north, and across many countries, locals are not exactly at their most welcoming selves––can you really blame them when it’s 23°F out? Like everything in life, there is always an exception …

If you’re scoping out Europe for an epic vacation next year, you can skip the global icons we’ve all dreamed of visiting in favor of lesser-known destinations. Many travel experts have been highlighting cities off the traditional tourist path, which makes sense given how many travelers are seeking out alternatives to avoid crowds, contributing to …

Train travel is back with a vengeance in Europe now that multiple railway routes are being revitalized, and slowly but surely, people are waking up to the reality that, more often than not, trains are the safest, most reliable alternative to low-cost flying in the continent. If you’ve ever been left at the mercy of …
