It is also the best time to enjoy sunbathing and swimming at the pristine beaches of Europe. July and August are generally the peak months of the country when many backpackers and tourists visit it to experience good and pleasant weather. This is also the peak season to enjoy a tour to various historical sites especially Acropolis, Eiffel Tower, and Roman Colosseum. Avoid visiting Mediterranian countries during this time as the temperature there becomes very hot and not ideal for sightseeing.

The weather in Europe during May makes the continent fresh and alluring. Many music festivals can also be enjoyed during this time of the year in Europe.

Be it the coast of the Mediterranean or the alps in Italy, Europe in winter is as magical as any other destination in the world.

For those wondering when to go to Europe, rest assured as the shoulder seasons of spring and fall are also the best time to visit Europe on a budget. In these seasons, hotel rates and flight tickets are usually lower in most of the continent.

Weather Tip: Do not forget to carry light jackets or windcheater jackets as the weather can be unpredictable in monsoon.

One should not look further than Europe in winter if one is looking to enjoy skiing and snowboarding in the Alps. Shopping in Christmas markets is a popular things to do in Europe in December. Travelers can explore glaciers in Norway, witness the Northern Lights in Iceland, and spend the New Year’s Eve in Vienna. Spring, from March to May, is also an ideal time to visit Europe as travelers can go on sightseeing, hiking, and other outdoor activities.

    Chetana's 7 days trip to Europe

    The hotel in Paris and Rome were pretty bad. Paris : Room size was so small that movement around bed hit the leg. Rome: the hotel was not habitable , there were mosquitoes in the reception area and in the room balcony. Switzerland: Interlaken hotel upgrade was best Luzern and Zurich , hotels were de
    cent. Switzerland, Luzern: was the best memorable place

    Prashant's 12 days trip to Europe

    The 2 week trip went by without any hassle, This was my third Europe trip with travel triangle but I think Tulisan has been the most communicative of all the travel agents that I have been assigned earlier. They called me to explain about all the tickets in detail and how it can be used(This could
    be very helpful for first time travelers). They were always checking if I had any problems with transfer etc and were very proactive during the travel, It was not like you have the tickets now handle everything yourself. The Hotels they gave me were very decent 4 star hotels with good staff and great location.

    Rashigupta's 7 days trip to Europe

    Experience with MyTravelPlan is the worst till now. We always had to follow up with the agent multiple times regarding itinerary and bookings, and they never gave it on their communicated time. When we reached out to Travel triangle regarding this, one of the agent from My Travel Plan talked very r
    udely to us, saying are you uneducated. At the time of booking agent told us that we have early check-in at the hotel, but when we reached the hotel we were told that there is no early check-in booked for us and we had to pay the early check-in amount. When we reached out to the agent regarding this, they told us that they will refund this amount but even after multiple follow-ups over mail they didn't even bother to reply.

    Madhavi's 7 days trip to Europe

    We have booked through Mtp vacations pvt ltd since it is listed in travel triangle .We had a very bad experience.They have given us hotels which were different from the vouchers downloaded.Everyday we have to wait for the booking of tickets for internal travel .Till last moment they were not giving
    tickets.We have to go on reminding them.Trains from Paris to Zurich and Rome . When we have paid money in advance why should they not give tickets in advance.I don't understand.Every day we have to beg them to give next day's tickets. Last minute they have changed the hotel in Rome We were in a confusion.When we called they were not responding.We really had a tough time.The hotel which they have changed in the last minute in Rome was a Christian church sort of thing.It is rather a hostel. We are very disappointed We managed some how

    Pratik's 6 days trip to Europe

    Very nice planning , preparing itinerary and real time support by WiseYatra Team, they have made the trip personalised and customised for us and took care of everything. Northern Lights experience was our main reason for the trip, which was offcourse the best part but also cruise to Estonia , Santa
    Claus village visit and husky ride / snow mobile were equally fun and exciting!

    A's 7 days trip to Europe

    This was my 2nd trip planned through Travel Triangle. I was bit nervous since this was my first time to Europe and I was taking my parents along. I must say my holidays went extremely well. All my requests were carefully considered from budget, to hotel location, tours, etc. We had an amazing time a
    nd would recommend Travel Triangle to every one. Special call out to Pradyumn & Raghav who coordinated everything for us. Thanks guys!!!
