Vacation in Europe

Finally (summer) vacations. You probably want to go on vacation, and there's plenty to do in Europe. But how will you travel? And which countries will you visit this year? Here are the best places, and we'll also explain what else you should look out for. Learn more!

Transport

First, let's take a look at transportation. You always have to keep an eye on costs, of course, when you're traveling in Europe. The cheapest way to get around is by train (they run internationally these days). The car, bus, and even the plane are other modes of transportation you can take. And a real daredevil (if you have a motorcycle license) can travel by motorcycle. The advantage of the car is that you can decide when to leave and you can take more with you (you can leave it in the car). And the advantage of the plane is that it is nice and fast, but there is more pollution associated with it (bad for the climate and the environment). Within Europe, it can be a good idea to go by car. With the Best charging card in Europe you can also travel in an environmentally friendly way and recharge anywhere abroad.

Great places

What are some great places to go on vacation in Europe? You can book a trip yourself, with accommodations and places you want to visit and see. You can also book through a travel agency, often it's a bit cheaper. But what places do you really need to see in Europe? How about Iceland? It's cold (a change from the warm summer weather) and you can visit geysers and the countryside. You'll have to get on a plane for it though (3 hour flight). Czech Republic is also a beautiful country with a lot of culture. You can see all kinds of beautiful places there, and many hikers and climbers are attracted to the Czech Republic. You should also visit Spain and France. In France there are long, vast landscapes and beautiful mountains like the Alps. In Spain, on the other hand, you will find beautiful warm beaches and many sights.

More beautiful places

A special place you should also have visited is Cinque Terre in Italy. These are five villages that are part of the World Heritage Site. It is very beautiful to look at, and they are particularly picturesque along the coast. A final recommendation for your vacation is Stonehenge in England. It is one of the most mysterious places in the world and this place should really be on your bucket list. Don't be afraid to visit some unknown places all over Europe as well. Maybe take a leisurely road trip with your friends or visit all the well-known (and also unknown) cities you can reach by train. Let your imagination run wild.

What else you should consider

After the Corona pandemic, many countries have decided that you must be vaccinated to enter the country. In Europe, however, you no longer need proof to travel. However, check the travel advisories of the government of the countries you are visiting to see if there are still Corona rules. There you can also see if the country is safe to travel to. Often this is indicated by color codes, as well as any notes on the country's situation and policies. And by the way, if you are traveling longer than 8 months, you have to deregister with your municipality in the Netherlands.
