Europe is a continent that is as rich in attractions as it is diverse in landscape and architectural styles. From man-made structures to areas of outstanding natural beauty, here’s our pick of the must-visit beauty spots in Europe

Discover Europe
Europe is such a large and diverse continent that even those who have visited several European countries will still have huge numbers of surprises in store if they choose to travel further in this gorgeous part of the world. From vast, mirror smooth lakes and towering mountain ranges to ancient cities and picture-perfect islands, Europe offers a wonderful range of sightseeing experiences.

Natural Beauty Spots in Europe
Europe is blessed with rather more than its fair share of natural beauty spots and anyone who has enjoyed a glass of wine on the terrace of a French farmhouse or taken in the sunset views from Lake Garda villas will be able to attest to just how powerful the natural beauty is in this part of the world. And while they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, there is something for every aesthetic taste in Europe, from rugged mountain ranges covered in snow to islands basking in the Mediterranean sun.

There are many companies specialising in holidays that are tailor made to suit travellers’ tastes – to learn more click on this page. For some people, the ideal European sightseeing break involves touring the ancient cathedrals of Budapest, for others it is about capturing the picture perfect beaches of the Greek islands, while for others it is about relaxing in the wine country of Italy, France and Spain.

Man-Made Attractions in Europe
It is hard to compete with sights such as Italy’s beautiful Lake Garda, the Greek Islands, the rolling hills of Tuscany or the vast, snow-covered mountains of the Swiss Alps, but there are many man-made attractions in Europe that manage to both complement the natural landscape and, sometimes, steal its thunder. Rome and Athens, for example, are both home to some mind-bogglingly ancient architecture and taking in the Roman Colosseum and the Parthenon are experiences that will impress even those with no interest in history or architecture. Barcelona is filled with fascinating buildings from famously surrealist artist Gaudi, of which the centre piece is the staggeringly complex Sagrada Familia, which is still a work in progress more than a century since work began.

Eastern Europe is home to some wonderful medieval castles and gothic cathedrals and palaces and the towering spires of Prague are sure to impress any visitor. It is perhaps at its best seen in the winter, when the city gleams with white snow and the winter markets are filled with the scent of mulled wine and cinnamon biscuits. More simple pleasures can be found in Lake Garda villas, which combine sleek architecture with breathtaking views.
