Adventure Holidays in Europe

Island-hop through Greece or kick it with the cafe crowd in Copenhagen

There is so much more to Europe than trademark cobblestone streets and grand castles locked in bygone eras. From the jutting Cliffs of Moher in Ireland to Norway's arctic wonderland Spitsbergen, Europe overflows with raw, natural beauty that beckons to be explored. Europe is a fantastic destination for active travellers. Avid climbers and hikers will find awe-inspiring mountain adventures at peaks such as Mount Blanc on the French-Italian border (a prime destination for winter sports) and Sicily's infamous active volcano, Mount Etna. Challenge yourself with a lengthy trek through Romania, lake sports in Sweden or kitesurfing in Spain. France offers the ultimate backdrop for cycling tours with roads winding through postcard-perfect countryside into the Alps.

Wind your way through the French Alps

Stray away from the tourist hot spots for adventures off the beaten track, with a cultural expedition to Latvia, Estonia or Serbia. You are spoilt for choice in Europe with history-soaked, architecturally gifted cities from east to west, with an old-world atmosphere that invites you to wander at your leisure and take in the local lifestyle. Indulge in a culinary adventure with a taste of the good life in France's wine country, regional gourmet tours in Italy or a serve of hearty fare in Germany.
