Best Places to Visit in Europe (2020)

Nothing’s more exquisite than Europe!

From Montenegro’s rugged landscapes to sun-drenched beaches in Portugal, the list of places to visit in Europe is endless. Be it England or Italy, European countries are full of unique travel attractions like stunning castles, royal museums, riverfront restaurants, cobblestone streets, and more. It is nearly impossible to round up all the best travel destinations in Europe within a single travel guide. Let’s take a closer look at the best holiday destinations in Europe below:

One of the best places to go in Europe and the epicenter of the Western Civilization, Rome is a city of weight and wisdom; a wilderness of ornamental artworks including sculpted fountains, royal palaces, and gladiatorial arenas. Gondola rides in Venice, shopping in Milan, and a sightseeing trip to Pisa are among the best things to do in Italy. The cradle of the Renaissance movement, Florence is like an attack on visual senses. Art history buffs and honeymooners would love a guided visit to art galleries in Florence like Uffizi and Duomo. After a romantic stroll on the Ponte Vecchio Bridge, do plan a day trip to the famed vineyards in Tuscany.

Nicknamed “The City of Lights,” Paris is another one of the best cities to visit in Europe and a fairy-land where the Notre-Dame Cathedral rises by the Seine and Eiffel Tower casts a long shadow over extensive lawns and tree-lined boulevards. Hop on a bicycle and paddle along the historical canals in Copenhagen while admiring the city’s stunning architecture and heritage. No place in Europe is a match for Budapest’s uber-cool nightlife. The Hungarian capital is a paradise for young travelers seeking cultural enrichment. With a gorgeous backdrop of forested hills, the city of Oslo has no dearth of natural beauty or monuments about Vikings history. Salzburg, Stockholm, Berlin, Belgrade, Tallinn, and Bucharest are among the best places to visit in Europe to visit on a summer vacation.

From the Atlantic Coast to the Alps, there are plenty of places to see in Europe. The town of Ceský Krumlov is a hidden gem located two hours from Prague – the city with a bohemian heart. Barcelona and Madrid are frequented by sports lovers and sun dwellers from around the world. One of the top destinations in Europe, Kraków in Poland is a treasure trove and has a well-preserved Jewish quarter. There's more to Dublin beyond pints of beer—like historical monuments dating back to the 13th century.

Among the best places to travel in Europe, Athens in Greece is a perfect place to delve into the golden days of Classical Antiquity. The island of Santorini is famous for soaring cliffs and sapphire waters. It is an ideal place to sample delicious Greek cuisine and to watch the sun slide in the Aegean Sea. Travelers try hard not to fall in love with Baroque buildings and breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea from Dubrovnik, an ideal place to enjoy the laid-back Mediterranean lifestyle.

Known for its coastal beauty, the city of Helsinki features Art Nouveau architecture and is visited for world-renowned saunas. Lucerne is as storybook as Switzerland can get. The city is a popular alternative to Geneva and a convenient launch-pad for adventure activities in the Alps. Around every bend of the Danube or a summit in the Alps, places in Europe are ideal to visit any time of the year.

Top 5 Countries in Europe

France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and Germany are some of the most visited places in Europe. Tourists can enjoy Seine River cruises in Paris, take gondola rides in Venice, explore Tuscan vineyards in Florence, cheer for their football club in Madrid, and go hiking in the Alps to make their visit to Europe special.

Switzerland: Switzerland is one of the most enchanting and enthralling countries to visit in Europe.

France: Another top-notch destination in Europe is France which is famous all over the world for its charismatic beauty and aura. Not just natural beauty but France has a number of historical and cultural monuments as well that are equally enchanting and have rich architectural appeal.

Germany: Germany is another popular and one of the best places to visit in Europe. It has a very strong architectural appeal and fascinates people who deeply admire art and architecture. Germany has a very lively aura due to the presence of various orchestras here and live music performances.

Italy: Italy has still maintained its golden charm in the form of its monuments and fetches many tourists all year round. It has been an inspiration for many writers, poets, and painters. From its churches to its cuisine, everything about Italy is lit. 

Best European Cities to Visit in Winter  

Winter in Europe falls between November and February. London is famous for not-so-harsh winters with less snowfall than other cities in Western Europe. Paris remains a favorite destination to visit during the winter season in Europe. Vienna in Austria and Rome in Italy are also considered the best places to visit in Europe in December.

Top Romantic Destinations in Europe

Greece, Italy, Austria, and France are considered the best destinations for couples and honeymooners in Europe. The whitewashed towns of Santorini, the stunning historic centers of Rome and Florence, the somber appeal of Vienna’s royal palaces, and the iconic Eiffel Tower in Paris beckons thousands of lovebirds to Europe.

Interlaken, Switzerland: The list of romantic destinations in Europe would never be complete without the mention of Interlaken in Switzerland as the natural beauty of this place with lush green meadows, snow-capped mountains and misty valleys are enough to set a romantic aura for couples. 

Paris, France: Another romantic destination hitting out the list is of course Paris. The very picture of the Eiffel Tower and the Seine River gives ample amount of romantic vibes. It is a perfect destination for a splendid honeymoon.

Venice, Italy: The romantic gondola rides on the scenic canals of Venice will definitely set your romance on fire. The whole scenery in Venice is romantic and appealing. There are amazing options for accommodation in Venice which are equally romantic and promises a comfortable stay for the couples.

From taking a romantic walk on Charles Bridge to strolling through the Prague Castle, everything about a romantic trip in Prague is fetching and attractive.

Amsterdam, Netherlands: This is one of the best romantic destinations to visit in Europe. The city welcomes couples whole-heartedly without getting them judged and love is definitely in the air in Amsterdam. Taking a cruise ride, strolling through the city on a bicycle are some of the romantic things to do in Amsterdam.

Best Ski Resorts in Europe  

Some of the Europe destinations such as Switzerland, Italy, France, and Austria are known for their alpine beauty. The Alps mountain range is home to several ski resorts dotted all over the continent. Val d'Isère in France, Sölden and Kitzbühel in Austria, Cortina d'Ampezzo in Itlay, and Gstaad in Switzerland are some of the most popular ski resorts in Europe.          

Best Christmas Markets in Europe

Both Vienna and Rome are world-famous for their Christmas markets. The otherwise sleepy city of Vienna comes to life during the holiday season with Christmas around the corner. Horse-drawn carriages and uber-cool nightlife make Vienna a premier spot. What better way to celebrate the birth of Christ than in the holy Vatican City in Rome. Zagreb in Croatia, Colmar in France, and Budapest in Hungry are other popular markets in Europe.

Shreya's 4 days trip to Europe

"I want to mainly put up the exceptional assistance of wise Yatra team throughout our whole trip planning, with patience and great attention to even tiny details. We wouldn’t be more satisfied and happier with their services. From start to finish, everything was smooth and hassle free only because of their detailed iternary planning and great suggestions! I think this is one of the best team and agency I have ever come across as a traveller. All the hotels which they booked from their end was perfect be it the room wise, comfort wise, food wise, and mainly close to all public centres and transport which made it more easier for us to travel intercity, it saved time. The locality was too good. And I would suggest to go for the hotels which they recommend because it is very safe as well. Their pre booking assistance for all major attractions and activities was a great use to us. Everything was planned and organised perfectly by the team. To conclude, be it a group trip, or a solo travel, Wiseyatra is much recommended for anyone planning their trips!

Saharshjain's 8 days trip to Europe

"A thousand thanks to wiseyatra first for making our trip so memorable. Still everyday I miss Paris and switzerland. We found WiseYatra via travel triangle and were in initial discussion about Paris and switzerland trip with them. We took passport and land package from them. I must say they are very professional and quite cheap when compared to other tours companies. Discussions: We had very long calls and frequesnt changes in plan regarding days and which cities or places to visit, they entertained all of them and made better plan on every change. We called them lot of times for testimonials and changes and they were happy to do it. They didnt force us for anything infact suggested better places than what we had in mind . Itinerary: simply the most detailed itinerary I have ever seen. Pictorial representation , bullet list of monuments. Hour wise itinerrary to make you aware of time because you will get lost in beauty. It was a long itinerarry with alternate mode of transports for every connection where possible. Properly given timetables of the trains and next trains that are availabel from your route. They also include scenic/panoramic trains and trust me those were really mazing. That itinerary is solid for few years of travel easily. Their itinerary is so flexible that we could sip or add few things or shuffle and still cover almost all the things. Hotels: We absolutely loved their hotel choices, very close to nature and close to transport places. In all 6-7 cities we had to walk hardly 100 meters for our hotels. In grindelwald we had to 5 steps for railway station. Not sure how they do it but they find the best and closest hotels with amazing view. In lucerne the hotel owner also gave us chocolates. Some of them had bath tub as well and amazin view of street and lakes. Trust me you will love them, close to market, close to transport system and inclusive of breakfast. In paris hotel we got free hot chocolate and sparkling water. Tickets: I must say all tickets we got were flexible and we had to shift paris boat ride to next day due to leg pain from walking. But all tickets were very good and do not forget to take a printout of each ticket. Mt.Titlis or Jugfrau all were flexible so incase weather is not good then also we can go next day. similarly the Swiss Pass was amazing as it gave us free pass to ride anything at any time which helped us in making good decision if something wasn't available or we had some time to kill. Support: WY was available for support at all times, they helped us with us for small queries as well like cash, card, disneyland metrsos, trains to Switzerland etc. Overall very supportive. Prices: The prices were quite cheap considering the trip to one of the most expensive countries in world. When compared to the time we spent and fun we had the price was super cheap. Plus since everything is pre-booked we didnt have to spend anything other than metro and food. I would definitely recommend wise yatra over any other travel service because we were free to do anything in the itinerary other travel we connected with offered us group tours for same rate where we were not able to spend time on a monument as per our wish. I would really recommend them. Infact for our next trip also I am going to go with them."

Rashmi's 7 days trip to Europe

I wanted to share feedback on our recent trip to Europe, organized by your team. Overall, we had a well-managed and memorable experience, thanks to your thoughtful planning and clear communication throughout the process. Your assistance with visas and other travel arrangements was especially helpful and made the planning much smoother. With our busy schedule we wouldn’t have managed to have fine planning so well. That said, we faced a couple of challenges during the trip, particularly given that we were traveling with a young child. The itinerary felt quite packed, with long travel hours and ambitious sightseeing schedules. For instance, we often arrived at new destinations around 3 pm but were scheduled to visit attractions that closed as early as 4:30 or 5 pm. Having more information on these timing restrictions in advance would have been very useful in helping us navigate and plan accordingly. Thank you for your efforts in making this trip enjoyable and memorable. Your team did a great job, and we look forward to planning future trips with WiseYatra with these considerations in mind."

Malurkar's 7 days trip to Europe

"Wise Yatra organised an amazing 8 days trip to Paris and Switzerland for us. We were traveling to Europe for the first time. Team provided a detailed customized itenary after discussing with us multiple times and considering our preferences.They chalked out a detailed documentation which takes care of every minute details like transportation availability, timings, nearest stations, google map links for sight-seeing and connectivity. This saved lot of our time in figuring out logistics. We appreciate their attention to these small details. Before the trip they had scheduled a call with us to walk us through the itenary in detail and cater to doubts if any. They were also available on whats app for guidance throughout the trip. The tour was meticulously crafted which included not only the popular destinations but also some other places which we would have not found over the internet otherwise. Apart from the actual trip, team helped us through the Visa Process and documentation as well. All accomodations provided by them were good and as per commitment. Overall a big shout out to the team for this amazing trip. Will definitely plan more trips with Wise Yatra and would recommend others as well.
