Great cities, Alpine peaks, island coastlines and three thousand years of history.
Europe fits an astonishing variety into short distances: the Alps and Italian lakes, Paris and London, the Greek islands, Iceland's glaciers and the minarets of Istanbul are all a short flight or train ride apart.
It's the ideal region for first-time and returning travelers alike, with fast trains, characterful small hotels and food and wine that change every few hours of travel.
The places our guides insist you shouldn't miss, many of them included in our Europe tours.
