Visit Europe: travel guide and information

The European Travel Guides from Europe This Way help you discover many of the travel highlights across Europe, from the English Cotswolds to the highlights of Ancient Greece, from a long weekend absorbing the atmosphere in Paris to a week on the Amalfi Coast in Italy. We also help you plan your visit to places in Europe by finding the best deals on car hire, hotels and accommodation.

Regional Europe Travel

Selected sites focussing on places to visit in Europe by region

France

The most popular overseas destination in the world, France will satisfy the most demanding visitor, whether searching for culture and history, great scenery, or simply a week on the beach. See France travel for our detailed country guide or visit one of the regional guides: Dordogne :: Lot-et-Garonne :: South of France :: Corsica

Italy

Italy is one of our personal favourites, for cities such as Rome, Florence and Venice and also for the ancient monuments and the scenic highlights such as the Amalfi Coast and Tuscany. See Italy travel for our detailed travel guide or our regional guides to Sicily and Sardinia.

Greece

During the summer months Europe is one of the best loved European travel destinations. From the monuments of Ancient Greece to many of the finest Mediterranean beaches to be found, Greece provides the perfect combination of culture and relaxation - see Greece Travel for our guide to the highlights.

England

Very different in character to much of mainland Europe, England offers a great variety of cities and landscapes from the lakes and mountains of the Lake District to quaint Cotswold villages, from small fishing villages to London - one of the liveliest cities in the world. See visit England for highlights.

Spain

While many associate Spain with beaches and summer vacations it has many other places to visit of interest such as the lively city of Barcelona and the extraordinary Museum of Modern Art in Bilbao. See Spain travel for information.

Other

We sometimes receive articles where we don't yet have a site about the country or region. We add these directly to this Europe Travel Guide until something better turns up! See articles about Europe.

Travel planning

Throughout Europe there is a very wide selection of accommodation, from holiday rental properties in the countryside to 5* luxury hotels in the city centres.We strive to find the widest choice and best prices for your European hotels and travel - see individual sites for details and travel planning..

Visit Europe: Travel and Holidays

europethisway is the parent site of our collection of travel sites that cover many of the most interesting places to visit across Europe, to ensure you can learn as much as possible about a destination before your vacation. Some countries and places have extensive travel information and coverage, others less so, and others are still in progress.

We are always striving to offer the most useful information possible about a place, region or country so please let us know if your favourite places in Europe aren't yet covered and we'll get someone onto it as soon as possible.

For countries where we do not have adequate information we suggest alternatives - typically the official tourist guides for a country. See European Travel Guides to start exploring different countries across Europe.

European travel sites in progress

Occasionally we acquire European travel sites that are not yet updated to our standards - they are included for completeness, and because they might still help you organise your trip, but be assured we are working hard to improve them! Current:

- Visit Paris - guide to all that is best for your visit to Paris, perhaps the most popular destination in Europe with overseas visitors

- Bergerac - travel and vacation planner for the town of Bergerac in south-west France
