Europe & the United Kingdom

History Meets Adventure

 

Europe is full of hidden gems and cultural treasures just waiting for you to discover. Wander through the medieval charm of Slovenia’s Ljubljana, soak in the peaceful beauty of Lake Fuschl, or stroll the historic streets of Porto, Portugal. If you love nature, the breathtaking landscapes of the Dolomites or Croatia’s Istrian coast are perfect for you. These off-the-beaten-path spots promise a truly authentic and unforgettable European adventure.

 

A few of our favorites:

  • Discover Portugal: Coasts, castles, food and wine
  • Italian Dolomites: Alpine treks and cozy refugios
  • Croatia Boat & Bike: Island hop and pedal adventure
