European Vacation Travel Sites

Now that Spring is almost here that means summer vacation is fast approaching. I don’t know about you, but I start planning my next vacation as I’m traveling back home from my latest vacation, but some people still haven’t decided where to enjoy their summer vacation.

Each year over 12 million Americans visit Europe, seeing such sights as castles from the Middle Ages, the canals of Venice, the sunny beaches of Spain and Greece, to the spectacular mountain views of Switzerland. With so many options, every one of them promising to offer a good time, how do you decide?

Fortunately there are some excellent websites available to help you make your vacation plans.

One of the best sites is by Rick Steves, the travel book author and PBS travel show host. You can find his recommendations at his Best Destinations Europe site, where for 2006 his recommendations span from Ireland to Italy. He visits every location he recommends personally, so you get a first hand account of what you’ll find when you reach your European travel destination.

Another fantastic site to help plan your European vacation is Durant Imboden’s Europe for Visitors, full of articles with travel advice. The information at Europe for Visitors is thorough, too, from the information you expect such as hotels, restaurants, and what to see and do, but also how to pack, how to manage your money, to passports and personal safety. If you want to know the things that will make your trip to Europe as simple as possible your pre-trip planning must include a visit to Europe for Visitors.

Last but not least is the official European tourism site Visit Europe, with detailed travel information on all 33 nations that comprise Europe, from Austria to Turkey. For each country you will find a calendar of events, weather information, and useful tips and advice to help make your vacation more pleasant.

Enjoy your vacation, and don’t forget to send a postcard.
