Europe is a continent that sees a range of climates and the type of tour you have in mind will likely determine the destination you choose.
If you want to take a city break to one of the major European destinations, such as Paris or Rome, visiting in the quieter months of March to June and September to October is perfect. At these times of the year, the weather is pleasantly warm, making it easy to get the most out of your tour of Europe's most glamorous locations.
Should you seek an itinerary that takes you to the Mediterranean shores, spring and fall are the perfect seasons for exploring the coastline. However, if you crave the heat, July to September are peak months for summer sun.
The temperatures cool across Europe throughout winter, but this is the time to wrap up and visit the festive markets. You'll find wintry landscapes and snow-capped mountains in Scandinavia, while Iceland boasts a strikingly magical scenery and Finland is home to Santa Claus himself. Winter is also when the Alps come alive, with skiers seeking the perfect snow from December to April.
