Where to Stay
European accommodations range from boutique hotels in city centers to countryside villas and river cruise ships. City hotels in Paris, Rome, and London are best booked in central locations to minimize commute time. For multi-city trips, consider river cruises on the Rhine, Danube, or Seine for a unique way to see multiple destinations without packing and unpacking. Adventures by Disney and AmaWaterways offer family-friendly European river cruises with Disney's signature service. Vacation rentals work well for families wanting extra space and kitchen access.
Best Time to Visit
Europe's peak season is June through August, offering the warmest weather and longest days but also the biggest crowds. Shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October) provide milder weather, fewer tourists, and better prices. Winter travel is ideal for Christmas markets in Germany and Austria, skiing in the Alps, and avoiding crowds at major attractions.
What to Do
Europe offers an incredible diversity of experiences. Paris features the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, and Disneyland Paris. Rome has the Colosseum, Vatican, and world-class cuisine. London offers Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, and West End theater. Barcelona combines Gaudi's architecture with beautiful beaches. Greece's islands offer stunning views and rich history. Switzerland and the Alps are perfect for hiking and scenic train rides. Scandinavia features fjords, Northern Lights, and fairy-tale cities. We create custom itineraries that balance must-see landmarks with hidden local gems.
Dining
European cuisine is a highlight of any trip. In Italy, savor authentic pasta, gelato, and espresso at local trattorias. French dining ranges from Michelin-starred restaurants to charming boulangeries and bistros. Spain's tapas culture, London's diverse food scene, and Germany's beer halls and Christmas market stalls each offer unique culinary experiences. River cruises typically include all meals with regional wine and beer. We recommend restaurants at every stop on your itinerary, from local favorites to splurge-worthy experiences.
Insider Tips

- 2Consider a European river cruise to see multiple destinations without the hassle of packing and unpacking at each stop.
- 3Travel between cities by train whenever possible. Europe's rail network is fast, scenic, and often more convenient than flying.

Planning Timeline
Start planning 6-12 months ahead for summer trips. Book flights 3-6 months out for the best fares. River cruises and guided tours should be booked 6-12 months in advance, especially for peak season departures.
Budget Tip
Shoulder season (April-May, September-October) offers the best combination of good weather and lower prices. Consider a mix of splurge and save accommodations. City passes in Paris, London, and Rome bundle attractions at a discount. We help you find the right balance for your budget.
