go

The crowds have gone. In the north, Christmas Markets begin to pop up, and mulled wines warm cold hands. In the south, no one bothers to change out of their summer wear, and the sun shines down on golden beaches.

Somewhere in between, flowers bloom in a riot of colors across wide fields.

This is Europe, between late fall and early spring.

These are the seasons for seasoned travelers like you.

During this season, the touristy crowds thin out and the locals come back to flourish. Everything is less hectic, and there’s more time to sink into the local culture alongside the people who call that destination “home.”

MUST-SEES with SMALLER CROWDS Museum lines shrink. The crowds of photo-takers taper off at the iconic sites.

The headache of getting into popular attractions disappears. Take advantage of smaller crowds during this time of year.

PLEASANT WEATHER

In northern Europe, snows fall softly on the Christmas markets. In southern Europe, travelers trade their coats for short sleeves. No matter where you’re headed, the weather will be part of the experience.

Airlines trim their prices as well, adding even more value to your tour.
