Europe, a continent full of history, art and culture, has always been a travel lover’s dream. To experience as much of Europe as possible in a single trip, a five-country tour is a great option. Here is a carefully planned five-country tour guide to Europe, covering the best times to travel and some of the destinations not to be missed.
Optimum travel time
Europe’s climate is diverse and the best time to travel varies from country to country. In general, spring and autumn are the best seasons to visit Europe, with mild weather and relatively few tourists. For example, the tourist season in places such as Venice in Italy is July and August, when there is plenty of sunshine and less rain, which is suitable for friends who like outdoor sports. But if you want to enjoy a leisurely vacation, it is recommended to go to places like Tuscany in April, May, or October and November. For Greece, April to June and September to November are ideal times to visit, with the right climate and beautiful scenery.
