From pizza to paella, gyros to goulash, croissants to carbonara, and all sorts of delicious soups, stews and pastries in between… European food is simply iconic.
What better way to start your day than with a full English breakfast? It’s hard to beat this classic British dish, piled high with buttered toast, fried bacon, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, beans, eggs and black pudding. Finish off a full English and you’ll have the energy to go all day.
France is famed for its fine food and Coq au Vin is one of the country’s greatest creations. The dish features chicken braised with wine and served with mushrooms, bacon and garlic. It’s cooked stew-style and is one of the most comforting dishes you’ll find in France.
Wondering what to eat in Europe? You can’t miss out on an authentic carbonara in Italy. This beloved pasta dish originated as a coal-miner’s meal in Rome and today is made with egg, black pepper and lashings of Pecorino Romana or Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
Whether you want to hit the beaches in summer, see vineyards bloom in autumn, or catch the snow in winter, Europe is the place to be 365 days a year.
Whether you want to go island hopping on a European cruise, or simply laze on the golden sands of your choice, the glorious summer months are the best time to do it.
Winter is a wonderland in Europe and the best time to soak up the magical Christmas markets, snow and mulled wine is from December to February.
The best time to tick off all the highlights like the Colosseum and the Acropolis is the shoulder months from April to June and September to October. You’ll still get great weather but with fewer crowds.
Headphones
You’re bound to cross a lot of land on your European tour, so bring a pair of headphones to listen to music or podcasts while you gaze out your window at the stunning scenery.
Layered clothing
Europe offers up all types of weather, from the blazing sunshine of Spain to the frosty snow of Scandinavia. Come prepared with layered clothing so you can easily adjust to the continent’s changing climates.
Versatile shoes
You’ll journey across all types of terrain in Europe, from the rugged Scottish Highlands to the cobbled paths of Italy. Pack shoes that can take you from the city streets to a ritzy night at the opera.
If you’re on the hunt for some great souvenirs or a fantastic meal, point your nose in the direction of locally-owned shops and restaurants. You’ll support local businesses and get an authentic experience.
Europe is beautiful and you can help keep it that way. Cut down on litter by using a reusable water bottle, never leave any rubbish behind, and always stay on the marked paths when hiking in Europe.
