Europe Travel Guides

Slow travel across cobblestones, coastlines, and countryside

Europe is the region where I’ve traveled most widely, from Scotland and Norway to Portugal, Greece, Croatia, and beyond. What keeps drawing me back is the variety: vineyard-covered hills, storybook towns, dramatic coastlines, Alpine hikes, and places where life still moves at a slower pace. These Europe travel guides bring together firsthand advice, practical travel tips, and the destinations I found most memorable across France, Italy, Germany, England, Sweden, Norway, Greece, Portugal, Croatia, and Scotland.

More about Europe

Where the guides go

Europe holds more of these guides than anywhere else, and they cluster in a few countries rather than spreading thin across the map.

  • Portugal — the mainland cities plus Madeira and the Azores, the deepest set here.
  • France — Provence, Burgundy and the Alps.
  • Germany — the Bavarian Alps around Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
  • Greece — Crete, Rhodes and the ferry system that connects them.
  • Italy — the cities, the lakes and both coasts.
  • Croatia — the Adriatic coast and the national parks inland.

Smaller sets

Four more countries have guides here, each covering a specific corner rather than the whole country: England‘s countryside, Scotland‘s Isle of Skye, Norway‘s capital and a summer in the Swedish countryside.
