There are a so many great places to see across Europe and it’s fair to say that you really are spoilt for choice. The downside, however, to exploring such a great continent is that it can prove quite costly, though there many affordable destinations.
Vienna, Austria
My grandmother once told me that dreams never die in Vienna, and she’s quite right. The Austrian capital is a haven all year round and flawless during whatever season, come rain or shine. The beauty of Vienna is breath-taking, the Hundertwasserhaus is one of the most visited sights in Austria and upon visiting, it’s easy to see why.
The colourfully decorated and unusual exterior of Hundertwasser House leaves visitors standing in awe and over 200 trees and shrubs on the balconies and roof terraces create a green oasis to add to the marvel.
The vibrancy of Hundertwasser marries perfectly with the grandeur of the Belvedere, the historic building complex features two Baroque palaces, the Orangery and Palace Stables. The complex was the residence of Prince Eugene of Savoy between 16th and 17th hundreds and is now a World Heritage Site. Flight and hotel packages are available from just £124.
Reykjavik, Iceland
Iceland has become an increasingly popular destination and now tops many bucket list and should definitely come in your European itinerary. Immerse yourself in the beauty of Reykjavik’s many natural attractions, from the volcanoes to high puffin population to the unforgettable Northern Lights.
Visit the Blue Lagoon and enjoy a dip in the milky blue waters of the geothermal spa, and visiting the stunning black sand beaches.
Ljubljana, Slovenia
Ljubljana is Slovenia’s capital and largest city. The River Ljubljancia populates Ljubljana, hosting grand bridges, bordered by weeping willows and open-air cafes.
The river flows through the Old Town which is known for its cobbled streets and Gothic architecture, as a hilltop castle stands guard of the city. It’s also known as the European Green Capital of 2016 and is described as a city with a green soul.

Zadar, Croatia
Zadar, is on the heart of Croatia’s Dalmatian coast and another must visit European city. There are a host of glorious sandy beaches that meet the azure waters of Adriatic Sea if you wish to kick back and relax, the Sea Organ must be seen, or rather heard, to be believed, it is composed of a series of steps which lead into the sea as underwater pipes create sound effects.
And at sunset, the Greeting to the Sun creates a light show that only be described as intricate, and has led the sunset of Zadar to be dubbed as the most beautiful in the world. Away from the beaches and artistic installations, the city offers many beautiful nature reserves. The tranquillity of Paklenica and Kornati National Parks, as well as the Vransko Lake Nature Park is unrivalled.
The latter features some great walking trails or hiking and biking, and you are able to take a deep in the lake’s alluring turquoise waters, or even go boating, or try your hand at fishing. Four star holidays start at just £157…what’s stopping you!?
