Europe tips

Passenger air traffic from European Union airports will more than double in 2050 compared with 2019, while the continent will deplete its carbon budget as early as 2026, signalling that commercial aviation’s growth is faster and less aligned with climate goals that previously thought, according to a new study by green group Transport & Environment (T&E). 

When I traveled around Europe, visiting places like France, Great Britain, and the Czech Republic, several things instantly stood out about how different living in Europe was from living in the US.

Globus is offering its most expansive selection of itineraries in Italy in 2025, with 33 different itineraries visiting 13 unique regions across 99 cities across several different travel styles. 

I've traveled around the world and to 15 countries in Europe, but I've yet to come across a place as special as Estonia.

Germany and France have just unveiled a new direct high-speed train between Berlin and Paris, which is said to underscore the strong bond between the two nations and evidence Europe’s ability to lure in more rail travelers.

As an American, exploring countries like France, the UK, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic for six months was an absolute dream.

Confession: Up until this year, I didn't know much about Croatia — other than the fact that much of "Game of Thrones" was filmed there.

I enjoy riding around Europe via rail and have taken trains in Spain, France, Belgium, Bulgaria, Slovenia, and, recently, Italy.

During a six-month trip around Europe, I embraced the "slow travel" mindset, which encourages travelers to spend quality time in each destination they visit. This was important to me because I really wanted to get to know the places I was staying in.

Citing security concerns, Italian officials are banning self-check-in options such as key boxes used by short-term rental owners.

We all need a little advice sometimes, and winter travel is sure to bring up some questions about what to pack, what not to pack, and what we should consider as we enter the busy holiday travel season.

In the past year, I spent time in three of America's most popular Bavarian-inspired towns: Frankenmuth, Michigan; Helen, Georgia; and Leavenworth, Washington.

Portugal is one destination that continues to rise in the ranks amongst global travelers' interest. 

I recently went on a monthlong bucket-list trip around Europe — I ate pasta in cities throughout Italy, hiked in the Austrian Alps, swam in Croatia's azure waters, and danced under the sparkling Eiffel Tower in Paris.

When I was planning a family trip to Rome, I knew I wanted to experience the city like a local by zipping around on a Vespa.

Although I've lived in Florida for many years, I only recently visited Rosemary Beach.

One of Rome’s most iconic landmarks, the Trevi Fountain, was drained last month in preparation for the current restoration project it’s undergoing. The stunning 18th-century monument has now been cordoned off and a temporary steel walkway erected over the basin so that tourists can still view the famous façade while it is undergoing renovation. 

As the winter holiday season approaches, an increasing number of Americans are setting their sights on Europe for a festive getaway this year, with Allianz Partners reporting a surge in trips planned to top European cities.
