Living in America, a two-hour journey to another state is very reasonable. Fascinating enough, Europeans have embraced this mindset for travel from, say, France to Switzerland. Of course, depending on residents and visitors, there is more than one ideal route of travel across Europe; aircraft, trains and cars (ferries too). It's quite simple to jump across nations to see historic cities and amazing sites.
One of our travel trends is European vacations where you enjoy leisurely travel—that is, really getting to know one nation or place over several—given so many beautiful towns and fascinating sites designed for a honeymoon. Thus, let's review some unusual and amazing paths you might follow on your European adventure.
The Best Way to Travel Europe
Although the US only has a few train lines, Europe has a simplified rail system usually with breathtaking scenery all along. Convenience, cost, and accessibility make trains a preferred mode of transportation for both visitors and residents. You may schedule picturesque train trips with opulent lodging or catch a last-minute train journey between cities—often with gratis views. Psst: Especially if you want to visit coastal gems like Cinque Terre in Italy or the French Riviera, many routes are well worth the vistas.
Easy Ways to Get Around Europe
There are plenty of exciting ways to tour Europe, and it's all about best utilizing your time to see as many sites as you can.
Europe by Bus
One option to achieve this is by bus, however be advised that certain services are not always consistent in different nations. You should investigate yourself and carefully go over several services. Once the editor of this article heard a honeymoon horror tale of a couple left on the Amalfi Coast for eight hours after their bus back to Rome failed to show up.
Europe Through Car Rentals
You might also get about by automobile. While some couples choose to drive on their own, others will use a transportation service to move them around. Most major European airports and destination hubs have major vehicle rental companies such Hertz, Avis, and others accessible. Since you are on your own schedule, unhurried travel is also a favored way to go. Renting your own car lets you make as many diversions to underappreciated stops and lovely stores as you'd like.
Europe via a boat or ferry
Many times, visitors are unaware of the exquisite carving out of the boat system that spans several European locations. Couples will especially find it advantageous to ride the ferry across the Greek Cycladic Islands or other popular Mediterranean locations. Actually, for the lengthy journey from Athens to Crete, couples will be delighted to learn that there is even an overnight ship with sleeping quarters. Having said that, occasionally strong waves might cause delays or perhaps an unpleasant journey. Couples can also choose to sail throughout Croatia on a catamaran or even do river cruises in case you would rather fly alone.
Europe via Other Means of Transportation
Depending on the place or destination, several cities also have Ubers and quick-to-call taxi services. If you're feeling bold, you may even hire a Vespa about towns to truly have the European encounter.

Greatest Travel Routes and Itineraries to See Europe
Given how different Europe is from one nation to the next, it's all about choosing which must-see destinations you really should see. Enjoy wonderful cuisine and drinks. Then take into account a wine trip in Italy and France. Alternatively perhaps your interests are more in adventure and the outdoors? From nation to nation, then, travel the Alps. These are some paths we advise for designating an unforgettable trip unlike any other.
The Nordic Vacation
Book this vacation to see the Nordic nations for stunning scenery and an opportunity to see the Northern Lights. First stop is in Reykjavik, Iceland, where we advise a whale-watching trip after a spa day in their lagoons. From there, travel to Copenhagen, Denmark, to visit the King's Garden and meander about vibrant Nyhavn. After that, you will ride a train to Stockholm, Sweden, where you will get breathtaking sights on the route. You have to visit the ABDA Museum and The Royal Palace once you're in the city before eating a layer cake. After that, catch sights of creative architecture, the sea, and magnificent churches by riding the nighttime ferry to Helsinki, Finland.
The Tour of Romantic Cities
Visit these cities to see the most beautiful sites in Europe. First destination is the Dutch capital; Amsterdam, with more canals than Venice and some very amazing tulip fields, is the third most romantic city. From Amsterdam, you may ride a bullet train to Paris to visit the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, and other famous landmarks connected with this City of Love. After having enough of French food, you may spend an overnight train to Rome to fulfill a wish at the Trevi Fountain and then ride a carriage through the city. After that, you may travel from Rome to Zurich to savor Swiss chocolate and take a ride down the Limmat.
Traveling in Central Europe
See central Europe on a fascinating trip unlike anything else. On the picturesque Brenner Railway, which provides breathtaking views of the Alps and vineyards, travel from Munich to Venice. See the canals in Venice and enjoy lunch of Baccalà Mantecato and some Venetian red wines. From Venice, you may travel to Cologne to see the Zoological Garden and Lindt Chocolate Museum. Along with seeing the Grand Palace before sampling some moules-frites, a train from Cologne to Brussels means even more decadent chocolate.
From the French Riviera to Tuscany
Discover the French Riviera then go to Tuscany via this unusual path. Spend a day seeing the Alps along the Baroque Royal Route in Nice before meandering down Promenade des Anglais and savoring some French street cuisine. Then, you may get a bus to Monaco to view the Princess Grace Japanese Garden and have some fun at the casinos. After eating pasta, enjoy an overnight train trip to Florence, Italy, then admire the city from Piazzale Michelangelo. To visit Pisa and view the Leaning Tower and Piazza del Duomo, rent a vehicle for one day or two. (Editor's Tip: If you want to go from Nice across the French Riviera, a train is well-recommended choice since the vistas of the Cote d'Azure are hard to top, especially when you're relaxing with a book.)
