Travel Guides
Europe is a unique destination no matter the time of the year and every season has its perks.
The busiest time in Europe is the summer months, June to August. Travellers from all over the world come together during these months to soak up the good weather and explore the bustling European culture. If you are planning a trip to Europe during these months I would recommend getting your tickets as much in advance as you possibly can as flights and even budget airlines can triple in price!
If you’re looking for cheap flights and hotels for your backpacking trip through Europe you’re better off travelling in the offseason, from November to March.
Winter in Europe should be on your bucket list. Whether you want to enjoy a cup of mulled wine while window shopping in the German Christmas Markets or prefer a more active holiday skiing in the Alps, winter in Europe has something to offer for everyone.
