European Coach Holidays – Not Just for Old People

If you’re planning a European holiday this year, choosing ‘where’ can be daunting: the continent is vast and diverse – and offers the potential for countless memorable experiences. More and more people are choosing escorted holidays as a way to ensure their time in Europe is filled with as much excitement and adventure as possible.

The days of pensioners taking a summer coach tour to the seaside are long gone. Now, students, couples and families, young and old, take escorted holidays all year long – visiting cities across the globe and seizing opportunities to explore hundreds of different cultures.

Beyond a chance to travel the continent in comfort and style, a European coach tour is a way to avoid the hassle of modern travel. On an escorted holiday, you won’t have to worry about booking hotels, dealing with transfers or missing flights. You’ll be transported through the beautiful landscapes of countries like Germany, Spain and Italy… and stay in luxury hotel accommodation every night.

In Germany, book a tour that visits Dresden, Leipzig and Würzburg: you’ll discover a Baroque heritage dating back to the 15th century. If you’re more into your recent history or modern culture then make a B-line for the capital, Berlin. After its crucial role in 20th century history, Berlin became a melting pot of cultures and influences. From the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag – to the Berlin Wall and the Olympic Stadium, the capital city mixes historic interest with a fashionable modernity.

Spanish coach tours are for those looking for a sun-drenched journey through some of the country’s most spectacular environments. You’ll encounter sleepy villages in the mountains, or medieval coastal towns like Gijon. The southern European charm fills this country making great for those looking for a bit of archaeology, or to chill on the beach with some great food.

Italy has something for everyone – whether you’re a history buff, a foodie, wine lover, skier or romantic. From the bustling metropolis of Rome with its pizzerias and historic heart, to the romantic waterways of Venice, or the idyllic Tuscan lakes and wine down to the tranquillity of the southern coastal regions, everyone will find something to their tastes.

If you are looking for something completely out of the ordinary, why not opt for somewhere a bit more eastern. Bratislava has a pulsing historical side sitting alongside its Soviet era architecture; whilst Istanbul offers charm and treasures beyond your wildest dreams

European tours now span the continent – and offer experiences to suit every holiday preference. Famous destinations and landmarks are always going to play a big part of a European holiday – but escorted tours ensure you reach those places you may not have had time for on the ‘normal’ tourist trail.
