Travel Europe

Europe By Rail

When it comes to exploring Europe, the most hassle-free and comfortable travel option is rail. There are no airport check-in lines or being confined to your seat, and as railway stations in Europe are generally right in the middle of town, chances are your train will drop you within walking distance of your accommodation, no matter what your destination might be.

Ocean Cruising

Europe is a delightfully multifaceted cruise destination, with some of the world’s most impressive coastal cities just a short boat ride apart. On just one Europe cruise, you can linger in the extravagant oceanfront principality of Monaco one day and stroll around the Colosseum in Rome the next, or experience Nordic hospitality in Oslo and the Hermitage in St. Petersburg.

River Cruising

In 1992, Europe’s age-old maritime landscape changed dramatically. It was that year that the Main-Danube Canal opened, connecting the Continent’s main arteries – and along with them, all of Europe. River cruising emerged to introduce an entirely new concept to Europe: that of floating hotels that journey between destinations. River cruises offer opportunities to step ashore in fairy tale towns and fabled cities. Immerse yourself in contemporary culture, and learn something about the history of the towns along the Continent’s greatest rivers.

Europe By Bus

Bus travel in Europe can be very advantageous as an alternative to traveling by train or flying, as buses and coaches often offer lower prices, comfortable journeys and regular connections. Bus services vary across Europe according to provider and destination. Travelers can expect services ranging from transit buses to comfortable coaches, short distance connections to long-haul services, and overnight journeys on select routes. Many bus operators provide scheduled bus times that are similar or at the same time each day, making planning last minute trips easy, as well as making pre-booking possible to ensure there is a space on the bus. Peak and off-peak times usually are not applied to bus services in the same way as trains; however, prices can vary according to the popularity of a particular service.

Self Drive

Touring Europe by car is one of the best ways to enjoy this storied continent. It can be a brilliant way to explore a landscape and enjoy the sights en route. All you need to do is plan where you want to go within a selected time frame, check out the various vehicle hire options and choose the one that’s best for you, follow some basic rules and guidelines about driving in Europe, and you are away.
