Cities and beaches in Europe
Europe is synonymous with both large cities and fantastic beaches. Paris, Rome, Berlin, Milan, Barcelona, Madrid, Lisbon, Prague and Vienna are of course the most obvious among the many exciting cities the continent can offer. If you get tired of city life then there are the beautiful beaches of Italy's Amalfi coast, the French Riviera, the Balearic Islands of Spain, or the heavenly beaches of Greece.

The beaches and cities are just some of the more obvious attractions that Europe has to offer. If you are looking for something completely different then there is always the midnight sun in northern Norway, hiking in the Austrian Alps, wine tasting in France, or exploring the Camino, or pilgrims walk, in Spain. Or how about the volcanoes and hot springs in Iceland or October Fest in Munich? Let us not forget the fantastic skiing and culinary experiences that Europe has to offer. Europe is without a doubt a very diverse continent!
