When to Go

When you go to Europe depends on what you’d like to see and how you like to travel.

Prefer long, sunny days and lots of festivals? Go in the height of summer for the most buzz – but this also means the most expensive and the busiest travel times.

A big shopping fan? Europe’s Christmas markets are incredible and it’s a very unique time to be travelling the continent, but the days will be shorter and the weather cooler.

The shoulder seasons of autumn and fall present the best of both worlds. Days tend to stay long and warm in September, without the crowds. October brings beautiful fall colour in the north, and stays pleasant in the south. Flowers reappear in April and May and smaller attractions that were closed over the winter will reopen.

But whenever you want to travel, Europe’s got a great destination and activity for you.
