Do you want to plan a European vacation but need help figuring out where to begin? Although Europe is small, there are almost 50 countries that you can choose from. There are so many places in Europe to visit it can be challenging to decide where to go.

We’ve been to many places on the continent and have put together a list of our top European destinations for you to inspire your creativity. Let’s start planning our next European vacation.

The Best Places to Visit in Europe

These top European destinations left us speechless and places we want to return to time and again. This is a list of the leading European destinations we have visited that we recommend you visit next.

Bavaria, Germany

Bavaria, Germany, may not be the first place people think of when they think about Europe. But it should! It is one of the most stunning and unexpected destinations in Europe. Bavaria is home to the Fairy Tale Castle, which has been so well-known.

Neuschwanstein Castle, located just outside Munich, is a must-see on any trip. Highlights include the Oktoberfest City of Munich, The stunning city of Nuremberg, and a lot more fun in the Bavarian Alps. Bavaria is a top choice for European tourists because of its beautiful scenery and many amazing things to do.

Meteora in Greece

Athens, Greece, is always a top choice for places to visit in Europe. We agree that Greece has some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. We loved exploring this part of the country’s interior and enjoyed our time there.

Meteora is a must-see on any European vacation itinerary. Make a side trip from Meteora to add Athens to your European travels. You can visit the incredible Monasteries on top of massive cliff spires about four hours from Rome. This is a fantastic place to stay.

Santorini (Greece)

Let me take you to Santorini, a magical island much more than Greece. This is the most well-known of all the Greek Islands. It is known for its blue domes and whitewashed villages. Beautiful black-sand beaches, picturesque villages, and ancient archaeological sites exist. This European destination offers it all.

Amalfi Coast, Italy

The Amalfi Coast in Italy is one of Europe’s most stunning destinations. It is the perfect place to go on a romantic honeymoon in Europe. It is a must-see in Europe, with cliffside villages that line the Mediterranean Sea and the picturesque town of Positano at its center. This is the best time to indulge in luxury.

Paris, France

Paris is one of the most beloved European destinations. We have often returned to Paris and love exploring the beautiful European city. It’s easy to walk along the Seine with stunning Eiffel tower views or explore its museums (it took four visits to see the Mona Lisa at the Louvre finally).

It’s the ideal European getaway when you consider all its top attractions. Paris should be on your list if you’re visiting Europe for the first time. It is one of the most beautiful European cities.

Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland’s Causeway Coast is a beautiful vacation spot. The Giant’s Causeway is the main attraction. This is Northern Ireland’s most popular tourist attraction and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is located in Country Antrim and is one of the most beautiful places we have ever seen.

Basalt Pillars formed 60 million years ago from flowing lava cooled by water. They were stacked on top of each other and formed hexagonal pillars.

Rome

It would be easy to write a whole post about the top places to visit in Italy. That’s a fantastic idea! Italy is one of the most famous European destinations. It has everything from Venice to Pisa, Positano to Lake Como. Rome is a great place to begin your journey. This fabled European city is a must-see for history buffs.

The Colosseum is home to some of Rome’s most treasured Roman ruins. You can also visit the Spanish Steps, Sistine Chapel, Trevi Found, and other historic Roman sites. There is so much more to Italy than you can see! Every corner of the city has a bit of history.

Cliffs Of Moher in Ireland

There are so many places in Ireland that you can visit. We have been to Ireland five times but still have not seen everything. It is undoubtedly one of our favorite destinations in Europe. How do you decide where to start? It is worth starting in Dublin and then moving on to other cities.

Cliffs of Moher are Ireland’s most popular tourist spot due to its spectacular views of the Atlantic Coast. There are many other things you can do in Ireland. The Wild Atlantic Way was one of our favorite places. This trip shows you all the highlights of Ireland.

The Swiss Alps

Switzerland is a top choice for beauty and beautiful outdoor scenery. One of the most beautiful places on Earth is the Swiss Alps. The Alps are a must-see on any trip to Europe. You can find it all in Switzerland, from Bern to Interlaken to Grindelwald to Montreux.

Enjoy the beautiful European cities and the wealth of the people. Then, hop on the Swiss rail to discover the Swiss Alps. This fairytale destination will not disappoint. Montreux is a legendary city with a rich musical history. It’s one of the top things to do in Switzerland for music lovers.

Iceland

Iceland is now open to tourism and is a great place to take a road trip. The waterfalls of Iceland are the main draw. Seljalandsfoss is our favorite waterfall, but we recommend driving the Ring Road from Reykjavik to see all the waterfalls and make your own choice.

Seljalandsfoss may be the most well-known destination in Iceland. However, Vik is a great place to visit for its black sand beaches and incredible rock formations. For more inspiration, see our Iceland waterfalls. This is a great European vacation idea. Outstanding coastal scenery, glaciers, and volcanic landscapes will be your backdrop.
