If you’re like most people and getting time off work or kids out of school is challenging, you may only be able to manage one week of vacation. Europe is a great destination to go for one week, simply because of the cultural diversity in such a small geographic area.

The small size, proximity, and ease of transportation between many of the countries in Europe make it a good choice for a culturally rich one week holiday. If you’ve only got one week in Europe, and really want to maximize your time, but you’re wondering where to go in Europe, here are 20 perfect one-week Europe travel itineraries.

No time to read this now? Pin it for later!

  • Before You go to Europe

Europe is an amazing destination, especially if you pick any of these awesome itineraries, but before leaving there are a few things you should consider when planning your Europe trip:

  • KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: Before you go to Europe, be sure you follow my 50 travel tips for Europe. You can find those here. 

And the winter months are generally cold in most European countries, especially in the north.That doesn’t mean you should avoid those times, it just depends on your tolerance for crowds and your preference in weather.

  • WHAT TO PACK FOR EUROPE: What you pack for Europe will highly depend on what time of year you go and where you decide to go. This  packing guide for Europe will ensure you have the essentials.
  • GETTING AROUND: Getting around Europe can be a little daunting, but if you do some research before you go, you’ll be just fine. Transportation in every country in Europe is a little different. I’ve linked many of my articles with helpful advice below like   How to Survive Train Travel in Italy   and   Driving in Scotland . Some itineraries will require you to go by train, car, plane or boat. Travel around Europe doesn’t have to be scary if you learn what to do ahead of time.

If you’re renting a car, there are two companies we prefer to use: Rental Cars and Expedia Cars. We have had no issues with them and have been able to find the best prices available.

What to do in Europe for One Week: 20 European Vacation Ideas for Your Europe Trip

These are my best one week vacations in Europe. Taking a multi city European vacation can be a great way to experience several different cultures on one continent. I know that one week in Europe isn’t a lot of time, so I’ve picked cities that are either close in proximity or a quick and cheap flight between each other.

I’ve also tried to choose each Europe travel itinerary with a mix of classic sites and unique destinations. There are so many cool places to visit in Europe that are still undiscovered. Hopefully, some of these locations will be new to you and you’ll be able to discover a new European favorite!

Europe Itinerary- 20 Europe Trip Ideas

This is one of my very favorite European vacation destinations. There are hundreds of choices for stunning history and scenery when you visit Italy, but this Amalfi Coast and Rome itinerary gives you the best of both worlds. Rome is one of the top places to visit in Europe and offers history around every corner…literally, while on the Amalfi Coast you will be overwhelmed by breathtaking ocean views.

Spend several days in Rome, then head south to the Amalfi Coast via Naples and spend a few more relaxing on the beach and driving the coast. It’s one of the best European beach vacations you can take! Amalfi is also one of the most popular Europe vacation spots during the month of August, so you may want to take that into consideration when planning your trip.

Check out these other 5 amazing itineraries for Italy.  Italy is one of the best countries to visit in Europe due to its size and variety of landscapes, cultures, and attractions.

GETTING THERE: Fly into Rome

GETTING BETWEEN CITIES: Getting from Rome to Amalfi is easy. Take the train from Rome to Naples, from there take the bus to Sorrento. There are many tour buses that travel along the coast, or you can rent a car and do the driving yourself.

If you’re looking for a European vacation with a lot of history and class, this is it! I can’t even count the number of times that I have done the Paris/London combo. I’ve done it with kids, as a couple, as a girls’ trip, and as a field trip. No joke! And every time I go, it’s like completely different cities. You can follow completely different options for London and Paris itineraries and have an amazing time no matter what you choose. In my opinion, these are two of the best cities to visit in Europe as they offer a huge amount of culture, food, and entertainment bang for your buck!

When I plan our family trip to Europe each year, I make sure to always include both Paris and London. These are two of my favorite places in all of Europe. They are popular for good reason. Both Paris and London are so vast and diverse that you can have a new experience each time you visit. The best part about visiting these two cities is that they are very easy to travel between with the help of the Eurostar. It’s a quick journey from the heart of one city to the next that requires no airports, no flying, and no hassle. Note: You will need a   passport or visa   to travel between England and France and you will need to go through customs before boarding the Eurostar.

I’ve created an easy-to-use day-by-day itinerary for Paris and London so that you can show up and enjoy your trip.

If you’re looking for a European vacation with wild nature and rural beauty, this option is a winner. While both of these spectacular islands really deserve their own week (or weeks really), a trip combining the two is possible, thanks to affordable flights between Iceland and Ireland. A good route would be Reykjavik and the Golden Circle, combined with the west of Ireland including Killarney, the Ring of Kerry, and the Cliffs of Moher. These countries are some of the best places to go in Europe if you love majestic natural beauty.

GETTING THERE:  Fly into Iceland as its one of the cheapest ways to get to Europe. GETTING BETWEN COUNTRIES:  From Iceland , take a quick flight to Ireland. Dublin , Belfast , Cork, or Shannon Airports are usually where you’ll find the best deals.

This one-week European itinerary includes two of my favorite cities in Europe! Heidelberg, Germany, known for its ancient castle and walkable downtown is a perfect companion to Strasbourg, France only an hour and a half away, in the Alsace region of France, known for its impressive cathedral and half-timber houses. These towns are particularly spectacular during the Christmas season and some of the best places to spend Christmas in Europe.

If you want to spend your Europen vacation wandering charming streets and feeling like you’re in a fairytale, this is it. Basel, Switzerland holds a special place in my heart and is often an overlooked town. Only a quick 45-minute train ride from the popular and iconic Colmar, France, Basel offers a unique culture that only a town on the border of three countries can. Basel is especially fun during Herbstmesse, the local Autumn Fair when the city literally turns into a fair! Combine these two beautiful cities for a one-of-a-kind holiday.

No European vacation list would be complete without including the unimaginable beauty of the Swiss Alps. Switzerland is a wonderland of natural beauty for the outdoor enthusiast or even anyone who has a remote interest in pretty scenery! It’s one of the best countries in Europe for those who love outdoor activity and natural beauty. It’s just jaw-droppingly gorgeous.

For such a small country, there is so much to see and with two of Switzerland most breathtaking areas just a few hours from each other, it’s worth visiting both of them. These areas offer pristine lakes, ancient gorges, colossal mountains, and a vast array of cultural activities.

If you’d like your Europe trip to have a good mix of beach and mountain time, this is the perfect combination. Lake Como is probably one of my top favorite places on the planet. It is totally magical and peaceful, and I’ve written about it multiple times and helped friends and family plan trips there. Don’t skip Lake Como on your next trip to Italy. One of my favorite parts of Lake Como is its proximity to the Swiss border. You can actually hike over the borer and into Switzerland! But if you’d rather not hike, hop in the car and take a trip to Zermatt, Switzerland, home of the famous towering mountain, Matterhorn.

This is a European vacation full of charm, but also a healthy dose of history and reality. A Paris-Normandy itinerary of Europe combines all the glamor and romance of the city of light with the charm, history, and beauty of Northern France.

Take the Vaporetto (water bus) in Venice, then take a short drive or train ride to Lake Como and enjoy boating and relaxing on the beach in one of the adorable villages lining the lake.

If you’re interested in cheap Europe trips, the gorgeous Ionian islands of Greece are one of the best-kept secrets in Europe. Naturally and culturally diverse, affordable, and downright beautiful, Kefalonia and Corfu make great choices for one week in Europe.

Explore ancient ruins, relax on pristine beaches with locals, and dine, affordably, like a Greek god. If you’re travelling Europe on a budget, this is a great option and Greece is one of the best places to visit in Europe in summer if you’re looking for gorgeous beaches at affordable prices.

Scotland is one country that should really be given an entire week. You could definitely say that about any destination, but for a relatively small country, but it has so much to offer that you could spend years here and not see it all.

For one week in Scotland, I recommend visiting Edinburgh and the Scottish Highlands, including the Isle of Skye. Read here for an entire Scotland Itinerary, here for Edinburgh , here for Inverness and the Highlands , and here for the Isle of Skye.

GETTING THERE:  Flying into Edinburgh is usually the cheapest option. GETTING BETWEN AREAS:  It’s best to rent a car or hire a driver or tour company. Be sure to read my guide to driving in Scotland.

What could be more charming than a week spent in these “poor provincial towns.” Ok, so they’re definitely not poor or provincial, but you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into Belle’s hometown from Beauty and the Beast .

The ancient half-timber homes built along scenic rivers provide a feast for the eyes, while the patisseries, boulangeries, shops, and restaurants provide a feast for the tongue. Split your time between these two idyllic towns and enjoy a peaceful trip back in time.

If you visit Colmar or Strasbourg during Christmas, these towns will be even more magical! Strasbourg is known as “The Capital of Christmas” and both towns have incredible Christmas markets and decorations!

This London and Cotswolds Itinerary provides the best of both British worlds, encompassing both the hustle and bustle of one of the world’s oldest and largest cities and the peace and tranquility of the quaint cottage speckled Cotswolds.

As much as I love London (it’s my favorite city), I do get tired of the crowds and the constant noise. It is so refreshing to get into the countryside and have a change of scenery during your time in London. The Cotswolds are a fairytale-like dream trip. Be sure to grab cream tea every chance you get!

I call this itinerary the best of Northern Italy. Italy is huge and has so much to offer geographically and culturally, but one of my favorite parts of Italy is the train system. The trains in Italy allow for easy access to most major sites, but it can be slightly confusing, so be sure to read this guide to train travel in Italy before you go. Getting between Florence and Cinque Terre is simple with the right knowledge.

The great thing about this itinerary is that you will get to see a big city full of culture, history, and art, and also spend time swimming at the beach and on a boat soaking up rays in in the Liguerian Sea. Read here for Florence, here for Cinque Terre, here for Trains in Italy.

I think Prague and Vienna might be some of the most underrated cities in Europe, and they are worth dedicating an entire week to. Stunning architecture, delicious cuisine, and cultural activities abound in these cities that are just a few hours apart.

If you’re looking for cheap European vacations, the farther east you go, the cheaper it generally gets. These are two cities that had never really been on my bucket list, and to be honest, I had never even heard of Bratislava, which is in Slovakia by the way! Both cities are charming and culturally rich. They are especially festive and beautiful around Christmas time.

Bratislava is on the way between Budapest and Vienna (you can even cycle between Budapest and Vienna ) and Budapest and Prague, so if you’re thinking of doing a combination of any of those cities, it’s a great stop.

These incredible destinations in Italy are not well known, but that is part of the appeal. I would say they are a good option for a cheaper and less crowded alternative to the  Florence and Cinque Terre itinerary.

Lucca is a walled city in Tuscany offering stunning architecture and culture with great family fun activities such as riding bikes along the top of the medieval wall around the city. Sardinia is a heavenly island, just a ferry ride away full of breathtaking beaches, delicious food, and friendly locals. Known as one of the five blue zones in the world- places in the world where people live longer and healthier than anywhere else on earth-Sardinia will make you feel younger and more alive just by visiting.

Portugal is a beautiful country full of diverse landscapes, amazing beaches, and cultural city centers. Lisbon is a stunning city and the Algarve region in the south of Portugal offers sunny beaches with world-famous surfing. There are some really cheap flights to Lisbon from the US right now and you can either drive, train, bus, or fly to the Algarve easily. As a southern European country, Portugal is a great choice for a winter destination. We were there last January and could still get in the water. There are many towns to choose from in the Algarve and they are all equally unique and beautiful. 

GETTING THERE: Fly into Lisbon GETTING BETWEEN DESTINATIONS: Take a plane, car, or bus to the Algarve.

The Perfect Portugal Itinerary

This one week in Europe spent in Austria is a dream. Combining the culture of Vienna and Salzburg with the picturesque feel of Hallstatt, it’s sure to satisfy any traveler. In my opinion, this is a great winter destination if you don’t mind the cold. Vienna and Salzburg have several amazing Christmas markets and Hallstatt is simply a dream to see in the snow! 

GETTING THERE: Fly into Vienna GETTING BETWEEN DESTINATIONS: Take a train to Salzburg (2.5 hours). A great way to see Hallstatt is to take a day trip from Salzburg.

If you’re into coastal towns, walled cities, and breathtaking scenery, this combination is for you. The Dalmation Coast is absolutely stunning. The bordering country of Montenegro is really the hidden gem of Europe, offering the same draw as Croatia, but with far fewer tourists. I recommend going during shoulder season (April-May or September-October) to be able to enjoy warmer weather with fewer crowds. 

GETTING THERE: Fly into Dubrovnik, Croatia  GETTING BETWEEN DESTINATIONS:  Take a Day Trip to Montenegro

Two of the most underrated cities in Europe if you ask me, Budapest and Bratislava are both cities that offer an amazing array of culture and also incredible food. If you’re up for the cold weather, these cities all have incredible Christmas markets and stunning decorations around the holidays. These cities are also all connected by rail so you can easily navigate between them. 

GETTING THERE: Fly into Vienna or Budapest GETTING BETWEEN DESTINATIONS: Take the train between each city. Bratislava would be a good day trip from Vienna.

25 | Berlin + Prague

8 days europe tour itinerary

If you love history and architecture, then these two cities will captivate you! Split your time between the two, rent a car and take a road trip between them to enjoy some beautiful scenery. 

GETTING THERE: Fly into either Berlin or Prague, whichever airport is cheaper.  GETTING BETWEEN DESTINATIONS: Rent a car and take a road trip between Berlin and Prague.

Whichever Europe Itinerary you choose, you’re guaranteed to love it. You can definitely see so much of Europe in a week and you really can’t go wrong with any of these choices. Just remember to relax and enjoy and also remember that this probably won’t be the last Europe trip of your lifetime.

Hi there, My husband and I will be celebrating our 20th anniversary next March and would love to go somewhere in Europe for a week. I have only been to Italy (over 20 years ago) and he’s never been. I’m a bit overwhelmed by even trying to figure out where to go. Can you help? Thanks! Hannah

Best of europe mega trip itinerary (travel time: 8-10+ weeks).

How to see the most popular cities in Europe in about two months.

Trip Planning

8 days europe tour itinerary

This is it… the Best of Europe Mega Trip itinerary that is designed to give you a taste of the best Europe has to offer. This itinerary covers 18+ cities throughout Europe and will take a minimum of 60 days but could be extended to 75+ days if you travel a little slower. I’d err on the side of traveling slower; this is a two-month trip, so there is a good chance you’ll burn out if you’re not careful.

Of course, no itinerary is perfect, and there is never enough time to see everything,  but this itinerary will give you a great foundation to pretty much see all the highlights. We tried to keep the travel distances fairly short in most cases, so you won’t be spending all your time on a plane or a train. 

Note: I used Omio to map my course and to get an idea of the travel times. Omio also shows multiple travel options (trains, planes, buses, driving, etc.) and prices. Check out my Guide To Using Rail Passes in Europe to learn more.

Ok, let’s get on with it…

Best of Europe Travel Itinerary

8 days europe tour itinerary

London – Approx. 4+ days

London is a great introduction to Europe because it’s a perfect mix of foreign and familiar — plus, London is a huge airline hub, so it’s one of the cheaper places to fly into.

London also has loads of things to see and do, so you’re guaranteed to keep busy.

Paris – Approx. 4+ days

From London, I suggest taking the Eurostar train to Paris, but book your train early because tickets get really expensive if you wait until the last minute. The train journey takes a little over 2 hours.

There are also plenty of budget flights, but then you have to deal with all the annoyance of flying. The flight takes a little over an hour, but you still have to get to/from the airports, which will add at least an extra hour.

Note: Add a few days to your time in Paris if you want to venture out of the city to experience a few of the many day trip options Paris has to offer.

Lisbon – Approx. 2-3 days

As much as we love trains, we suggest booking a cheap flight from Paris to Lisbon as it will save you a lot of time (don’t worry, you’ll use trains for most of the journey). The flight is about 2.5 hours, but you should budget about 4 hours of total travel time.

Madrid – Approx. 3 days

From Lisbon, you’ll want to take an overnight train to Madrid. The train leaves around 9:30 pm and arrives in Madrid around 8 am. Flying will take about 4 hours when you factor in all travel time.

Barcelona – Approx. 3-5 days

Take one of the nearly hourly trains from Madrid to Barcelona — the journey will take about 2.5 hours.

If you plan on partying hard in Barcelona, you may want to budget for an extra day to recover on the beach.

Nice – Approx. 2-3 days

You can either fly or take the train from Barcelona to Nice. Flights will take just under 4 hours and the train will take almost 9 hours. If you have the time, you can break up the long train ride by stopping in Montpellier, France for a day.

Cinque Terre, Italy – Approx. 2-4 days (+1 full travel day)

Take the 6-hour train ride from Nice, France to Cinque Terre. Cinque Terre is a string of five centuries-old seaside villages situated on the rugged Italian Riviera coastline. If you just want to see the views and do minimal hiking, you can get by staying around two nights — there’s a train that runs between all five towns.

If you want to hike from town to town at a relaxed pace, you might consider staying around three-four nights.

Florence + Tuscany – Approx. 2+2 days

Hop the train (3 hours) to Florence, which is the capital of Italy’s Tuscany region. Spend about two nights exploring the city, but be sure to spend a few days relaxing in Tuscany’s gorgeous countryside.

Rome – Approx. 3+ days

From Florence to Rome, it’s a quick 1.5-hour train ride or about a 3.5 to 4-hour bus ride. Rome is another one of those “must-see” cities that many people love. I’d spend at least three full days in Rome, but seeing it in five days might be more enjoyable.  

Venice – Approx. 2 days

The train from Rome to Venice is about 4 hours. Most people see Venice as a day trip, but it’s probably better to actually stay overnight in this beautiful city. This is because the city is absolutely jam-packed during the day — it teeters on unbearable. However, at night and in the early morning, the city is nearly empty so you’re free to explore all the little side streets in peace.  

Switzerland – Approx. 2-4 days (+1 full travel day)

From Venice, head up to Switzerland to get some fresh air and stunning mountain views. If you’re into outdoor adventure, then check out Interlaken. Lucerne is a great quintessential Swiss city. Zermatt is a good option if you want to be in the mountains. There are multiple great cities and towns in Switzerland. However, Zurich and Geneva both have a reputation for being a little boring and extra expensive.

Depending on where you go, the train will take around 7-8 hours.

Munich – Approx. 3-4 days (+1 full travel day)

Depending on where you are in Switzerland, Munich is about a 6-hour train ride—both Swiss and German trains are excellent so the ride is quite nice.

There are multiple nice day trips from Munich — like the fairytale-esque Neuschwanstein Castle and the Austrian city of Salzburg (which also makes a nice place to stay for a night or two if you’d like).

Vienna – Approx. 2-3 days

Hop aboard the train for a 4-hour ride from Munich to Vienna.

Budapest – Approx. 3-4 days

The train from Vienna to Budapest (aka, “The Paris of the East”) is around 2.5 hours. We’d recommend staying at least three nights, especially if you like to party.  

Kraków – Approx. 2-3 days

Take an overnight train from Budapest to Kraków and you’ll arrive around 8:35 am.

Prague – Approx. 3-4 days

Take another overnight train from Kraków to Prague (which arrives around 6:30 am).

Berlin – Approx. 4+ days

From Prague, Berlin is about a 5-hour train ride. You may want to add an extra day or two if you’re big into all-night dance clubs because Berlin is home to the best nightlife in the world.

Amsterdam – Approx. 2-3 days

Amsterdam is about a 4-hour flight from Berlin (or a 7-hour train ride).

If you’d like, Amsterdam is a good place to end the trip because the airport is a major international hub. If you want to see a little more of Europe, another option is to continue your trip to Dublin to spend a few days traveling around Ireland. The flight to Dublin is about 4.5 hours. Another option is to fly up to Scandinavia to visit Stockholm, Oslo, and Copenhagen.

Total Trip Length 57 days – 75+ days

Doing this itinerary in 57 days is doable, but it will feel a little rushed — you definitely shouldn’t try this particular trip in fewer than that many days. Pushing it closer to 75 days or longer will give you a little more breathing room, and it will let you spend a little extra time in major cities before moving on.

You’re also well under the 90-day limit that you can stay in the Schengen area, so you won’t have to worry about visas.

10-weeks-best-of-europe

And, of course, you can always tweak this itinerary to add/subtract destinations from your trip.

  • Day 6: Ride the train to Vienna, Austria. Visit Belvedere Garden Palace and Old Town Vienna.

Explore the ruins of some of the most famous cities in Europe and enjoy the matchless scenery of Croatia and Lake Bled, including a visit to an island in the middle of the Lake. You’ll be able to see one of the most famous churches when you stop by the Church of Assumption and see architecture that has withstood the test of time.

However, when you leave, you’ll be left speechless by all the famous sites and historic cities you enjoyed during your week in the UK. From the local history and unique cultural flavor of each great city, to the amazing rugged landscapes you’ll pass through on your tour, you’ll definitely be left with an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience that you will never forget.

7 Day Trip Across Europe

London to rome.

  • Day 1: Arrive in London and spend the day touring a few of the city’s most memorable attractions before taking the train to Paris after dinner.
  • Day 2: Spend a full day in the City of Lights. Enjoy lunch in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. Hop a Seine river cruise in the afternoon, and splurge on an upscale dinner out in this romantic city.
  • Day 3: Board your train to Interlaken. Enjoy stunning views of France as it rolls into the Swiss Alps. Enjoy the sight of alpine peaks and wildflower meadows on your journey to Interlaken, where you can enjoy a casual dinner and rest for the busy days ahead.
  • Day 4: Explore the city of Interlaken. Consider white water rafting, and a visit to the glaciers for a change of pace, and end the day with a refreshing local brew.
  • Day 5: It’s time to enjoy all that this lakeside village has in store. Take a swim in the crystal-clear waters, pack a picnic lunch and go for a hike, and end with an evening of fine food and wine at a local pub in Interlaken.
  • Day 6: Rise early and board a train to Rome, Italy. You’ll enjoy a day of stunning views as you head south through the mountains of Northern Italy. When you arrive in Rome, don’t delay! Visit the Colosseum, the Vatican, or the Pantheon on your first day in Rome. Finish with a fine Italian meal and a bottle (or two) of Chianti.
  • Day 7: Spend the day however you wish, exploring Rome. If you choose to, you can extend your trip for a few more days (there’s so much to see and do here), but if you do depart on Day 7, take our advice and book a late flight from Fiumicino Airport so you have a full day to explore the historic city of Rome before you return home.

While not nearly as expansive as some of our other European trip itineraries on this page, that’s what I like most about this adventure. It leaves room for you to personalize the journey. You can slow down and enjoy each unique stop along the way while traveling across Europe from England to Italy in 7 days.

This trip from London to Rome manages to send you to four MAJOR locations (London, Paris, Interlaken, and Rome), which are (in our view) some of the most romantic cities in all of Europe.

If you’re looking for an experience and want the freedom and flexibility to pick and choose your favorite activities in each destination along the trip’s route, this is the Europe itinerary for you. Don’t just see Europe – experience Europe.

7 Day Tour of Europe

The life of caesar tour.

  • Day 1: Start your adventure in Rome, as Caesar did. Visit the oldest open-air museum in the world, basque in the sun on the Spanish Steps, and marvel at the glory of the Colosseum.
  • Day 2: Enjoy a trip to the Vatican, shop the Via Condotti, and finish your sightseeing on Capitoline Hill with some breathtaking views of the city.
  • Day 3: Take a train to Florence where you’ll indulge in Gelato and fine Italian coffee. There’s so much to see and do in Florence, and be sure to try some local wines when you treat yourself to a meal in the city.
  • Day 4: Hop a train to Lucerne, Switzerland. Leave early, so you have time to visit the Lion Monument, and the Glacier Gardens before a nightcap in this beautiful Alpine oasis.
  • Day 5: After breakfast in Lucerne, board a train for Paris, France. This is a beautiful ride through the heart of Europe … you’re sure to enjoy every minute of it! When you arrive in Paris, visit the Eiffel Tower before dinner out in the City of Lights.
  • Day 6: Enjoy a slow day in Paris, taking in the attractions you’ve always wanted to see. Consider doing something unconventional too, like a bike ride through the city, or a Seine river cruise. You have a full day to enjoy yourself in Paris, France. Make it your own!
  • Day 7: The final day of your trip will be spent in London. It’s up to you if you’d like to leave Paris first thing in the morning, or take a red-eye to close Day 6 of your itinerary so you can tour London right after breakfast. You’ll have a full day to take a bus tour of the city, or visit the monuments you’re most excited about. Feel free to extend your trip a few days if your budget allows. There’s plenty of fun things to do in this lovely city.

Why You’ll Love This Trip

We’ve all studied the life of Julius Caesar, but not many can say they’ve walked where he walked. On this trip, that’s exactly what you’ll do.

You can visit the same places he would have visited when he was alive. Your trip will take you north across Europe, mirroring Caesar’s expanding empire. For all you history buffs, this will be a time of indulgence. You’ll experience the culture, the architecture, and the atmosphere of a continent that hasn’t forgotten its roots.

Try to enjoy some Caesar-themed history and tourist attractions throughout your journey from Rome to London. It is sure to enrich this Roman Empire inspired Europe itinerary.

10 Day Trip Across Europe

The “everything europe” tour.

  • Day 1: Start this European itinerary when you arrive in London, England. Spend the day in London and when you’re ready, cross the English Channel for dinner and an evening stroll in Paris, France.​
  • Day 2: See the sights in Paris including the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, and the Arc de Triomphe. Enjoy a budget-friendly light lunch at the first cafe that strikes your fancy, and take in a show or paint the town red by enjoying Parisian nightlife.
  • Day 3: Depart the city of lights after breakfast in a Parisian cafe. Hop a train to Burgundy where you’ll enjoy local wines with lunch before a bus ride into the Swiss Alps, ending the day in Geneva, Switzerland for dinner (and a dessert with fresh Chocolate).
  • Day 4: The hills are alive! Enjoy a steamboat ride across crystalline waters of Lake Geneva, and breathe the fresh mountain air with views of the Swiss Alps. This is a day where you’re free to take an outing into the Alps and enjoy the slower pace of alpine Europe.
  • Day 5: Depart Geneva early and take the train to Pisa, Italy! Take some photos in front of the Leaning Tower, and head to Tuscany for lunch. You can rent a car and drive from Pisa through Tuscany to Florence where you’ll get a room for the night.
  • Day 6: Rise early to explore the art, culture and cuisine of Florence! If you time it right you can take your car to nearby Venice where you’ll drop it off and explore the city on foot and/or by boat (there’s no driving in the city). Spend the night in romantic Venice in a room overlooking the canals.
  • Day 7: Take a train or drive a car north to Innsbruck, Austria where you’ll start your tour of Bavaria (Innsbruck to Munich). Even if you spend most of your day traveling, this is truly beautiful country to drive through and you’re certain to discover a new favorite restaurant, shop, or fairy-tale castle along the way.
  • Day 8: Take the train or drive to the Rhine Valley for a riverboat guided tour. Finish the night with a few glasses of local wine from a restaurant overlooking the Rhine.
  • Day 9: North to Amsterdam! Walk or bike the city during the day and enjoy an evening dinner cruise. These are fun because you’ll see Amsterdam’s famous nightlife from a boat slipping through the city’s canals.
  • Day 10: Wake early and head to Bruges, Belgium for a breakfast of chocolate waffles. Work off breakfast by walking this charming city. When you’re ready, take a train to Paris or London to catch your flight home.

Don’t miss anything with this 10-day excursion through Europe. Most trips leave something out, but that’s not going to happen this time. When you leave here, you’ll have photos, memories, and experiences that most everyone else only wishes for. If you want to see ALL of Europe, then you cannot skip out on this once-in-a-lifetime trip.

  • Day 6: Explore the alpine city of your choice and immerse yourself in the fresh air of the alps. This is a great day to take a hike and picnic, or enjoy a steamboat cruise of a nearby lake to get some fresh air and recharge during your 10-day trip.
  • Day 7: From Switzerland it’s on to the Black Forest of Germany. You can take a train, or rent a car one-way for this leg of the journey (whichever your budget and comfort-level allows … my preference is a car, but it can be more expensive). Finish the day in the Rhine Valley, where you can book dinner aboard a riverboat or overlooking the Rhine River.
  • Day 8: From the beautiful Rhine River Valley, take a train to Amsterdam. This is another beautiful travel day where you’ll experience the beauty of Germany and the Netherlands. Once you arrive in Amsterdam, check into your hotel then head out for a guided tour of the city. Do this via the canals if you can!
  • Day 9: This day is flexible. You can spend the entire day exploring points of interest in Amsterdam, or you can rent a car for the day to visit famous windmills or fields of tulips (season dependent). There are many nearby cities you can also visit for half of day 9 via car or train. However you choose to spend the day, enjoy dinner back in Amsterdam overlooking the canals. There are even dinner cruise boats. These offer a fabulous dining experience while enjoying the sights and sounds of Amsterdam’s (in)famous nightlife.
  • Day 10: Your final day has arrived. Eat an early breakfast then take the train through Paris to London. You can travel directly to London, or spend the morning in Paris, and finish the day at a London landmark you’ve always wanted to visit. If your budget allows, this itinerary offers the opportunity to extend your trip by a few days (both Paris and London are well worth the extra time).

Enjoy an espresso and pastry before hitting St. Mark’s Square and snapping photos on Academia Bridge. You have flexibility to set your own schedule on Day 2 … if you like to see and do a lot, pack your day. If you want to ease into your tour of Europe, take it slow and enjoy every minute!
  • Day 3: After breakfast in Venice, board a train to Munich, Germany! This is a six or seven hour ride through some of the most beautiful parts of Europe, and you’ll arrive in time to check in to your hotel, stretch your legs, and unwind with a hearty meal and a pint of local brew.
  • Day 4: Spend most of this day exploring Munich’s historic sites. Alte Pinakothek, and the Munich Residenz are recommended, and Dachau (a former concentration camp) will be a sobering but memorable stop. After lunch board a train for Prague, where you can check in to your hotel before dinner and attending a performance at the opera (if that’s your thing).
  • Day 5: This is a day for exploring Prague. Take in the Communist Museum, enjoy some street food, and get to know the Czech Republic. This is a beautiful city with stunning architecture where just taking a walk offers a lesson in history.
  • Day 6: Rise early and board a train to Berlin where you’ll visit the Berlin Wall and Brandenburg Gate. There are some excellent restaurants in this city, and we recommend treating yourself to an upscale dinner while here. You’ll be spending Day 7 in Berlin as well, so don’t be afraid to indulge in a bottle of German wine or several pints of a local specialty. You’re on vacation, after all!
  • Day 7: There’s nothing like exploring a European city at a pace that suits you, and on Day 7 you have the freedom to tour Berlin however you like. Tempelhof Airport is a pretty cool place to visit … it’s a former airport that has been converted into a public part. A quirky place to enjoy a picnic lunch.
  • Day 8: After breakfast in Berlin, it’s off to Amsterdam by train or rental car (your choice – train will be simpler and cheaper). Day 8 is dedicated to cheese, and after checking in to your hotel you’ll tour a few cheese farmhouses to learn the art of cheese making, and sample a few of the delicacies this part of the world is known for. Finish the day with a few beers overlooking Amsterdam’s gorgeous canals.
  • Day 9: Rent a bicycle in the morning before the city gets busy, and travel the city the way the locals do. If you like, you can book a guided bike tour, which gives you some direction and ensures you’ll see some of the most interesting parts of Amsterdam. In the afternoon visit the Anne Frank House, and then board a train for London via Paris. You have the option to spend the night in either city. I recommend spending the night in Paris (how romantic!), but it’s up to you!
  • Day 10: If you spent the night in Paris, wake early for breakfast at a Parisian cafe, then a quick visit to the Eiffel Tower before boarding your train to London. Spend the afternoon visiting a few of your bucket-list landmarks in England’s capital city before catching your flight.

During your trip, you’ll experience guided tours designed to maximize your time and enjoyment. Ready to experience the heartbeat of Europe?

10 Day Trip to Europe

“the imperialist trip”.

  • Day 1: Arrive in Munich, Germany and take a taxi or shuttle to your hotel to check in and drop your luggage. After you settle in, take a tour of the city and enjoy a casual, budget-friendly lunch. Ask a local for a recommendation. In the afternoon, visit the Marienplatz, and treat yourself to an upscale dinner to kick off your trip to Europe in style!
  • Day 2: After breakfast in Munich, hop a train for a 2-hour ride to Regensburg. This is a great day trip from Munich, where you’ll be treated to a bucolic view of medieval life in Germany. After lunch, it’s a 3 hour train ride to Prague, where you’ll check in to your hotel and fuel up with a hearty dinner in the Czech Republic.
  • Day 3: Arrange a private tour with a local guide and visit historic sites in Prague such as the St. Vitus Cathedral and Prague Castle. After the tour, stroll through Old Town Square and take in the stunning architecture as you treat yourself to some world-famous street food and local beer.
  • Day 4: You’ll travel to Budapest on Day 4, and your method of transportation will depend on your budget, and how much time you hope to spend being there, vs. getting there. You can travel by car, train, or plane. If you can afford it, a one-way plane ticket is reasonable, and you’ll arrive in about an hour and a half. Expect 6+ hours by car or train. Even so, it’s a nice trip through Eastern Europe, so it isn’t wasted time. In Budapest, try to book a hotel room next to the river, and if you do fly in, spend your first day relaxing on a river cruise to take in this beautiful European city from the water.
  • Day 5: Today is wide-open for a whirlwind tour of Budapest. Visit Fisherman’s Bastion and snap some photos of the Parliament building and the beautiful Danube river. Join a guided tour of Budapest if you like, or relax on a riverboat cruise on the Danube (if you traveled here by train or car and didn’t have time the day before). Enjoy a hearty Hungarian dinner and get plenty of rest for a busy day ahead.
  • Day 6: Wake early, enjoy breakfast, and rent a car or take the train to Vienna, Austria! It’s between two and a half and three hours by either mode of transportation. The train is simpler and cheaper. After your late-morning arrival in Vienna, check in to your hotel and ask the maître d’ for a recommendation for an upscale lunch. Vienna offers diners some of the best cuisine in Europe so allow yourself to indulge while you’re here. After lunch, enjoy a guided, or self-directed tour of Vienna to take in this beautiful city and relax after a few days with lots of travel.
  • Day 7: Spend today exploring Vienna in earnest. Visit Hofburg Palace, the State Opera House, and St. Stephen’s Cathedral. They’re all marvelous. If your budget allows, treat yourself to an upscale dinner and a night out at the opera house where you’re likely to take in the performance of a lifetime.
  • Day 8: This is an excellent day to rent a car one-way. Drive yourself from Vienna to the Wachau Valley where you’ll be treated to once-in-a-lifetime views of castles and nature. Photos will never do this stop justice. From there, continue across the full width of Austria to Salzburg, where you’ll drop off your rental car, check in to your hotel and enjoy a nightcap. You can take a train on this day if you don’t want to drive, but domestic one-way rentals in Austria are cheap and generally hassle free, and it’s a nice easy day to try driving in Europe.
  • Day 9: You’ll be traveling to Munich on Day 9, and when you leave is up to you. I recommend spending the day in Salzburg, and boarding your train mid to late afternoon. It’s a 2-hour train ride to Munich, and that leaves you time to check in to your hotel and enjoy a final dinner out in Europe.
  • Day 10: Once you check out of your hotel, consider renting a car for the day (especially if you have a late flight). Since you’ve already spent some time in Munich, this allows you to enjoy a day trip from the city while having your luggage secure in your car at any stops along the way. When you’ve soaked up your last few minutes of European bliss, drop your rental at the airport in Munich, and head home!

A History Lover’s Dream Trip Across Europe

Live the life of an imperial for ten days with this trip/journey. You start in Munich and travel across the European countryside. During your visit, you end up in Regensburg, Prague, Budapest, Vienna, the Wachau Valley, and Salzburg. Here, you’ll see the rich history and culture that has defined the Eastern European Capitals.

The Ultimate Ireland 8 to 10 Days Itinerary

Ireland 8 to 10 Days Itinerary

After spending a length of time in Ireland , I’m sharing with you the ultimate 8 to 10 days itinerary for exploring the country. Deciding where to go in Ireland can be tricky, and this Ireland itinerary will help you decide your travel plans.

When I embarked on this itinerary last month, I had no idea what to expect for my Ireland road trip. After doing lengthy research, deciding where to stay during our trip, and more, I felt we were well-prepped. I had only booked us in for an 8-night trip, and by the end, wished I had much longer.

 Ireland 8 to 10 Days Itinerary

Ireland, while not large, has so much to offer in experiences. Where you have large popular cities like Dublin and Galway, you also have these incredible small towns like Kilkenny and Kinsale . And between it all, stunning lush landscapes across the Wild Atlantic Way, Ring of Kerry, and the Dingle Peninsula . You’ll easily see why it’s called the “Emerald Isle” once you get out in the countryside.

Ireland 8 to 10 Days Itinerary

One of my big takeaways from the trip was that some of the real gems are outside of Dublin. While Dublin is an exciting city, in my opinion, the countryside has much more to enjoy. So I’ve put together what I feel is the ultimate Ireland itinerary that can be tailored from 8-10 days (or even a week.). It has the big hits, it’s not a rushed itinerary, but rather a slower-paced one with a take-it-all-in feel to it.

Ireland Travel Tips  Before You Arrive

 Ireland 8 to 10 Days Itinerary

Do Book a Rental Car at the Airport

If I could make one single suggestion, it’s to rent a car when you land at the airport and take off from there. I rent all of our Europe rental cars on Discover Cars for the best rate, picking a reputable company like Alamo, Hertz, or Sixt, and taking an automatic car. Getting your rental car at the airport, whether you fly into Dublin Airport or Cork Airport, allows you to hit the road right away. I would keep Dublin for instance, for the end of your trip to reduce having to get a car later on in the trip. Book a rental car with Discover Cars here .

You Drive on the Left Side of the Road

As a former British Colony until 1922, Ireland drives on the left-hand road. It may seem scary at first, but I promise you’ll sort it out fast. It takes about an hour of driving until you feel comfortable, and as always just follow the traffic and slow down.

Have Mobile Cell Coverage

You will need to have some kind of cell coverage to navigate your trip in Ireland. Whether you get an e-sim or have international coverage with your carrier, be sure to plan. The roads are already tricky to navigate, so having cell access is very important.

 Ireland 8 to 10 Days Itinerary

Plan for Weather

The downside of a tight itinerary in Ireland is that the weather may not always be in your favor. I would have an extra half-day in each location if you can so that you can switch your itinerary around if need be. We lucked out in June with only a single morning of light rain, so we were not super impacted. But I know many people who get rained out or have tough weather.

Consider Flying into a Regional Airport

As you’ll see in this itinerary, you could fly into Cork or Dublin Airport. Cork Airport would cut down almost 2.5 hours of driving, so when you search for flights, consider your options. Flights from neighboring countries fly all over into Ireland, so you have options depending on how you plan your itinerary.

Currency, Language, & Outlets

In Ireland, you will use euros to pay for things. I found most places take credit cards, but it is advisable to always have some cash on you. The two official languages of Ireland are English and Irish (Gaeilge) which is why you’ll see signage in both. In Ireland, you will need an outlet adaptor for plug type G (same as UK) — I love this one with multiple USB options .

Day 1: Arrive in Ireland and Drive to Kinsale

 Ireland 8 to 10 Days Itinerary

Arriving in Ireland

When you arrive in the airport, the first thing I would do is pick up your rental car there. It will be so much easier (and often cheaper) to get it on arrival. I always book my rental cars on Discover Cars and take the full coverage in addition to my credit card insurance. You’ll find driving in Ireland may take some time to get used to but don’t worry you’ll figure it out. I would plan to fly into either Dublin or Cork if you can before hitting the road to the small seaside town of Kinsale .

Where to Stay in Kinsale

Pre-book your accommodations well in advance in Kinsale — it sells out fast in the summer months. Private vacation rentals like The Marian Cottage or this Beautiful 2br House are great options. If you’re looking for a hotel stay, I would consider either Actons Hotel Kinsale , The Old Bankhouse , or the Perryville House .

Ireland 8 to 10 Days Itinerary

Get settled in Kinsale. You’ll likely get there in the mid-afternoon, so make your way to town. I’d stroll the colorful streets, and pop into some shops like Kinsale Leather ,  Mamukko Shop , and  Ruxx . If you’re craving an ice cream, head straight to JESK . For dinner, I would do something on the more casual side like The Spaniard Inn or The Black Pig . And if you want to stretch your legs more, embark on the short but scenic Scilly Walk .

Read: A Slow Traveler’s Guide to Kinsale

Day 2: kinsale and beyond, a kinsale morning.

8 days europe tour itinerary

I would start your morning back in town with a hearty breakfast at Lemon Leaf . It’s a quintessential brunch spot in Kinsale, then afterward grab a coffee to go from The Collector . Stroll town early before the crowds tend to appear by mid-morning.

If the weather is right, drive out to  Old Head of Kinsale  for epic views, and on your way back, stop by Blacks Brewery and Distillery  to sample local spirits. If you want to explore more regional food, I’d book this foodie walking tour experience through Kinsale with this highly-rated tour .

Other must-see experiences include a visit to Charles Fort  and you could also consider hopping on a harbor cruise depending on the weather. For lunch, a favorite town was Fishy Fishy for all things seafood — don’t miss the oysters.

Afternoon Cork or Blarney Castle & Gardens

When looking beyond Kinsale, there are two distinct places to consider visiting within an hour’s drive. The town of Cork or Blarney Castle & Gardens . Both are unique experiences and worth a visit, though I lean towards Blarney Castle myself. Though, you may be content to just enjoy Kinsale and call it a day which is very much what we did on our trip.

Dinner in Kinsale

 Ireland 8 to 10 Days Itinerary

Booking in advance is a must, so let me say it now—book ahead for a dinner at Saint Francis Provisions. As one of the top culinary locations in Ireland, no one else does food like Saint Francis. It’s a fresh take on local provisions inspired by European flare and just a total gem box of a restaurant. This is where I’d book for your last night.

Day 3: Head to Killarney

Make the drive to killarney.

 Ireland 8 to 10 Days Itinerary

Make the journey in the morning out to Killarney . It’s a slow, scenic drive through pastoral lands that takes about 1.5 hours to get to. The beauty of it is you’ll be there in a short time so you have a proper day to stroll the town. Once there, settle in and go enjoy the town. It’s small but full of stores, art, and many restaurants. One sight to consider visiting is Killarney House and Gardens on this day.

Where to Stay in Killarney

 Ireland 8 to 10 Days Itinerary

For our trip, we had 4 nights at the Great Southern Killarney right in the heart of town. It felt like a second home, incredibly kid-friendly with everything we needed for our stay. The Killarney Park , The Ross , and The Lake Hotel were a few other options that also caught my eye.

A Night in Killarney

8 days europe tour itinerary

The town of Killarney comes alive at night. You’ll hear “trad” live music playing out of the local pubs, people spilling into the streets, and restaurants packed. It’s an energetic vibe. I highly recommend booking in at The Laurels Pub & Restaurant for one of the best traditional Irish meals in town. Consider the lamb roast, beef roast, and kids menu a total hit.

Day 4: dingle peninsula, dingle peninsula morning.

 Ireland 8 to 10 Days Itinerary

Make an early start for the Dingle Peninsula this morning (1-hour drive), and try to arrive by 9 am to enjoy the town sans the crowds. Go to the Bean in Dingle for all of your caffeine needs, and enjoy a quiet stroll through the colorful coastal town. If you need to stretch your legs, continue to Ventry Bay Beach , one of the best beaches in Ireland. Many come to post up, surf, and enjoy other outdoor activities.

The Slea Head Drive Afternoon

Ireland 8 to 10 Days Itinerary

The entire reason for heading to the Dingle Peninsula is to embark on the Slea Head Drive. It’s a short loop drive that combines stunning rolling pastures to sheer cliffs with turquoise ocean waters. Along the way, historic sites, scenic views, beaches, and idyllic spots to enjoy. I have you covered with a detailed Dingle Peninsula guide on how to enjoy this drive, where to stop and eat, and more exciting adventures like the Conor Pass .

Dingle Town Night

8 days europe tour itinerary

After finishing up your scenic drive to Conor Pass, I would come back into Dingle for dinner. There are several great restaurants, and The Fish Box was our pick for the night. The town does get quieter come 5 pm, but many shops also close around this time so keep this in mind.

Read: The Dingle Peninsula Guide + Slea Head Drive

A full day in killarney national park.

8 days europe tour itinerary

Take your time enjoying Killarney National Park as there are endless things to do. What I love about the national park is that nearly almost everything is within a 15-minute drive of each other. I think one of the best ways to visit the park is both on foot or by renting a bike from this company for the day (just know bikes are restricted in some places). We split our day doing two things — one part on foot and the other with a leisure bike ride.

 Ireland 8 to 10 Days Itinerary

Here is where not to miss:

  • Muckross House & Gardens
  • Muckross Abbey
  • Ross Castle
  • Lake Cruise
  • Torc Waterfall
  • Ladies View
  • Dinis Cottage for coffee/tea/pastries (1 mile walk out)

 Ireland 8 to 10 Days Itinerary

Optional Morning: Ring of Kerry

While we had grand plans to embark on more of the Ring of Kerry, we opted for a slower morning in town. So I still want to share where you could consider going if you’re itching to see more of the Ring of Kerry beyond Killarney National Park. Some popular sights you could head to include places like Rossbeigh Beach , Ballycarbery Castle , Kerry Cliffs (Aillte Chiarraí) , Derrynane Beach , and the town of Kenmare.

Afternoon in the Gap of Dunloe

8 days europe tour itinerary

Our second favorite excursion we did was to the Gap of Dunloe . This insanely picturesque, narrow pass through the MacGillycuddy Reeks and Purple Mountain cannot be missed. There are a few ways to experience it — if you arrive late in the afternoon, I would just drive it. If you want to take it all in, then consider parking your car at Kate Kearney’s Cottage and walking the paved road stretch. And as always, I have a very detailed guide on the Gap of Dunloe for how to visit it. At the end of your time there, stop into Kate Kearney’s Cottage for a meal.

A day in dublin.

 Ireland 8 to 10 Days Itinerary

It’s time to embark on your drive back to Dublin where you’ll likely be catching your departing flight. This is your opportunity to add in an extra night or two elsewhere (more on that below). But if not, make your way back to get the most of the city. As you arrive in Dublin, you’ll find a much different pace of life here.

Where to Stay in Dublin

I would recommend staying somewhere close to either Merrion Square or St Stephen’s Green. It will be the most peaceful option with still great proximity to everything. If I could pick, I’d stay at The Shelbourne , The Fitzwilliam Hotel , or Stauntons on the Green .

 Ireland 8 to 10 Days Itinerary

If you have about a half day, I would consider visiting the major hits. Save Temple Bar for the night when the energy goes up a notch. Stop into the Guinness Storehouse , visit St Patrick’s Cathedral , and walk the neighborhoods. Of course, Trinity College Book of Kells is always a must but be sure to book in advance ( this highly rated guided tour is a great way to experience the Book of Kells and Dublin Castle).

It’s time to depart, I would pre-book an Uber for your returns. And remember, if flying back to the US, in Dublin Airport you will do your customs there. This is great because you don’t have to do customs on arrival in the US (and there is Global Entry here!)

Extending to a 10-day Ireland Itinerary

 Ireland 8 to 10 Days Itinerary

So you want to stay longer (I wish I had), this is where I would go….

1. Galway and Cliffs of Moher

The one place I wish I had more time for was to head up to Galway while passing the Cliffs of Moher . This is the perfect place to add to the itinerary after Killarney as it makes sense directionally. I would make Galway my home base, and even do day trips from there. One spot I really would have loved to have visited was the Kylemore Abbey & Victorian Walled Gardens .

2. Limerick

Another charming, medieval-era city in western Ireland is Limerick. I have done some initial research for here and it looks very beautiful for its historic sites. It’s also halfway between Killarney and Dublin, so a good spot to add to the itinerary.

3. More Time in Dublin

Depending on how much you want to see in Dublin, you could easily add a day if you plan to tour around. The current itinerary only has a half-day of time in the city, so one extra day would give you more space to enjoy the sights.

PS — Are You Booking a Trip Soon? Use My Booking Checklist!

These are the sites I use most to book my own trips. Using the links below is a great way to support Bon Traveler’s travel journalism at no extra cost to you . If you need help organizing your itinerary, get my free travel itinerary template here .

1. Book Your Flights

I use Skyscanner to find the best flights. It searches 100s of airlines and websites across the globe to ensure you’re not missing out on any route options or deals.

2. Book Your Accommodations

I use Booking.com for hotels and guest houses. They have the biggest inventory and consistently offer the best rates.

3. Book Your Tours & Experiences

I use Viator or Get Your Guide to find the best tours and experiences. They are my favorite tour search engines. I always check both as their inventory varies depending on the destination.

4. Book Your Rental Car

Self-driving is the best way to explore most destinations. I use Discover Cars for our rental cars, select full coverage insurance, and opt for a reputable company like Alamo, Hertz, or Sixt.

5. Don’t Forget Airport Lounge Access

I use Priority Pass to gain access to 1,400+ VIP lounges and airport experiences worldwide. The Priority Pass app is the first thing I check when I have a layover. I’ve been a member for over a decade, and having a comfortable place to relax before and between flights makes air travel so much more enjoyable.

6. Don’t Forget Travel Insurance

I never leave the country without travel insurance. It provides comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong (ie. illness, injury, theft, and cancelations, etc.). I use it frequently for my travels to stay protected.

My favorite companies that offer the best coverage and rates are:

  • World Nomads (best for all-around)
  • Safety Wing (best for frequent travelers)

Xx, Jessica
