ESSENTIAL EUROPE BUCKET LIST ITEMS BY US

A European tour with Costsaver will have you falling in love with all the iconic sights, from the ancient streets of Rome to the rolling mountains of Scotland.

Arc De Triomphe by sunset, Paris, France

Wander the Romantic Streets of Paris

Audrey Hepburn once said “Paris is always a good idea”, and we couldn’t agree more. The City of Love is famed for its romance and historic sights, from the Louvre to the Eiffel Tower. Whether you strut down the Champs-Élysées, stroll along the Seine River, or slip down a cobbled alleyway, you’ll find magic in Paris at every turn.

Experience on: European Discoverer

Explore the Scottish Highlands

Get ready to explore one of the most beautiful places on Earth. You’ll journey under wide open skies through ancient castles, sweeping glens and wild waterfalls. Hear tales of a haunted past in Glencoe Valley, see the ruins of Urquhart Castle, and keep an eye on the lakes for Nessie. Europe sightseeing doesn’t get much better than this.

Experience on: Britain & Ireland Explorer

Lose Yourself in the Awe-inspiring Beauty of Rome

Rome is one of the best destinations in Europe and for good reason. The whole city is on our Europe bucket list, and you’ll have some of the world’s best food, architecture and history in the palm of your hands. Toss a coin in the Trevi Fountain, explore the treasures of the Vatican, stand where gladiators once battled at the Colosseum… and that’s just the start.

Visit a Rooftop Bar in Florence

For the ultimate cocktail experience, head to La Terrazza Continentale. You'll pay big bucks for the cocktails but with it comes the most spectacular view of the city of love. Sit back, marvel and sip at your aperol while you people watch.

Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, Germany

Discover Castles in Bavaria

Bavaria has plenty of magical, story-book castles and it’s not hard to find them either as they loom over the clearings in dark forests or stand majestically upon craggy outcrops, punctuating the landscape as you pass. There are hundreds of historic castles in this part of Germany, but my absolute favourite ones I recommend you discover on your Costsaver tour are Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau. Stunning!

Experience a Flamenco Show in Spain

You can't miss out on witnessing the fiery flamenco dance when you visit Spain. We got tickets to the best show in Seville and discovered the rhythm and passion of the traditional Andalusian flamenco. We were so captivated by the moving guitar, the beautiful singing, and the clapping and thumping steps of the dancers... It was an experience we'll never forget.

WHAT TO EAT & DRINK IN EUROPE

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.

Full English Breakfast (England)

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.

Coq Au Vin (France)

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.

Carbonara (Italy)

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.

WHEN IS BEST TO VISIT EUROPE

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.

Best Time to Visit Europe for Beaches

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.

Best Time to Visit Europe for Winter

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.

Best Time to Explore Europe’s Iconic Sights

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.

PACKING TIPS FOR EUROPE TRIP

HOW TO TRAVEL RESPONSIBLY IN EUROPE

Support the local communities

If you’re on the hunt for some great souvenirs or a fantastic meal during your tours of Europe, point your nose in the direction of locally-owned shops and restaurants. You’ll support local businesses and get an authentic experience.

Be kind to the environment

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.

Watch wildlife with care

You can take care of our animal friends by never touching or feeding any wild animals. It’s also best to avoid any exploitative wildlife experiences, such as harmful dolphin and whale watching tours.
