Embrace the season
You might think of a holiday to Europe in autumn and winter as being cold and rainy. But did you know that these destinations are beautiful to visit at this time of year? You'll enjoy impressive landscapes, mild temperatures, and the most breathtaking sunsets.
Autumn in Europe brings out the colours in nature - brilliant shades of red, orange, and gold. It is the perfect time to visit stunning natural areas such as the Veluwe in the Netherlands, the Ardennes in Belgium, and the Black Forest in Germany. Plus, no mosquitoes!
Winter brings a serene calm, ideal for beautiful walks through winter forests or picturesque towns. Enjoy a cosy hot chocolate or mulled wine at a charming café, and with a bit of luck, you can even experience a magical snowfall in these regions!
