  • EUROPESO MANY COUNTRIES, SO MANY CULTURES, SO MANY EXPERIENCES

    Amalfi Coast, Italy

    GETTING AROUNDWith high-speed trains and inexpensive flights, widespread usage of the English language, and the introduction of the euro, its more convenient than ever to travel among countries and turn a vacation into an experience. Have a leisurely breakfast in London, take a train through the Chunnel, and do some afternoon shopping in Paris. Float on a barge along rivers and canals from Switzerland to The Netherlands, and get a different perspective on the castles, vineyards, and windmills that line the banks.

    Border CrossingsThere are virtually no border controls between countries that have signed and implemented the Schengen Agreement, except under special circumstances. Likewise, a visa granted for any Schengen Agreement signatory country is valid in all other countries that signed and implemented the treaty. Please note, not all EU members have signed the Schengen treaty, and not all Schengen treaty countries are members of the European Union.

    AirDozens of budget airlines allow for very inexpensive travel around Europe, often much cheaper than the train or even bus fares for the same journey; indeed you can make hops just about anywhere on the continent for way under $100 a flight.

    Low-cost airlines such as Air Berlin, Ryanair, and easyJet typically fly to smaller cities or secondary airports. So, if you are flexible and willing to consider secondary airports or smaller cities as your destination, you can save a lot of money. Please note, low-cost carriers

    usually offer only one passenger class and often have no assigned seating; in addition, tickets from low-cost airlines are usually non-refundable, and flight dates cannot be changed.

    RailEurope has some of the best train systems in the entire world. Especially in Western and Central Europe, the trains are fast, efficient, and cost-competitive with flying. High-speed trains like the French TGV, the German ICE, the Spanish AVE, and the cross-border Eurostar and Thalys services speed along at up to 200 mph, and when taking into account travel time to the airport and back, are often faster than taking the plane.

    Eurail passes offer good value if you plan on traveling extensively and want more flexibility than cheap plane tickets can offer. It may be necessary to make reservations for high-speed trains in many countries, and the number of seats for railpass holders may be limited.

    CarThe ease of driving on the continent varies, and as a general rule, east and west of the old Iron Curtain are two different worlds. Western European countries for the most part have good road conditions and extensive, well developed highway networks, whereas Eastern European countries are still working hard on the great backlog left behind from communist days.

    There are several drawbacks to driving, however.

    You usually need a written consent before you can cross a border with a rented car, and some rental companies may not provide that (and their insurance is not valid abroad).

    You must specifically ask for an automatic transmission when you make a reservation, or you will be given a manual transmission vehicle (an automatic is also significantly more expensive).

    Gas prices currently approach $7-8 per US gallon in much of Europe, rentals are around two-three times more expensive than in North America, and parking costs can be pretty steep in city centers.

    Know Your DestinationEuropean countries welcome almost a half-billion international visitors per year its the most popular destination for Americans traveling overseas and theres no mystery why. The continent is filled with amazing architecture, outdoor adventures, stimulating culture, unparalleled cuisine and shopping, compelling museums, religious and historical sites, stately palaces and castles, colorful festivals, and breathtaking landscapes. And youll find that English is widely spoken and/or understood in big cities and tourist areas beyond the UK.

    Not only that, its easier than ever to visit Europe, thanks to an open borders policy; efficient travel infrastructure; and adoption of a common currency, the euro (), by almost all the individual countries.

    American citizens do not require a visa to visit most of the countries within Europe for leisure visits of up to 90 days within a six-month period. Indeed, its possible to travel throughout much of Europe with only a single passport stamp on entry.

  • GREAT BRITAINA THOROUGHLY ENGAGING STUDY IN CONTRASTS, WHICHEVER WAY YOU TRAVEL

    GETTING AROUNDAirGiven the short distances involved, flying is rarely the cheapest or most convenient option, with the possible exception of travel between southern England and Scotland, or between Britain and Northern Ireland. Domestic flights are offered by British Air, Loganair, EasyJet, and others, flying in and out of London, Belfast, Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, and other cities.

    RailThe National Rail network covers most of Great Britain, with 21,000 miles of track and around 2,600 stations; NI Railways is the state-owned rail in Northern Ireland. Most inter-city trains travel at 125 mph, and stations are located in city and town centers.

    BusLocal and inter-urban buses cover the entire country, but vary in quality and cost. Services range from rural village lines operating once a week or less, to intensive urban routes operating every few minutes.

    CarA car will get you pretty much anywhere in the UK, of course, but there are caveats: When renting a car, you must specifically ask for an automatic transmission when you make a reservation, or you will be given a manual transmission vehicle (an automatic is also significantly more expensive). And you will be sitting in the right-hand seat of the car while driving on the left-hand side of the road are you up to the challenge?

    Know Your DestinationEngland, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are all unique countries with their own customs, cultures, and traditions, and offer an incredible diversity of attractions, historical treasures, contemporary excitement, and friendly people. In addition, English is their native language!

    Entry requirements are simple: all you need is a valid US passport. And all four countries utilize the Pound Sterling () as currency, in contrast to most of the rest of Europe (and Ireland).

    The English are famously reserved in manners, dress, and speech, but they are well used to foreign visitors, and you can expect them to be friendly and polite.

    In Northern Ireland, the economy is thriving, and there is a new cultural vitality, pride, and optimism. Tourism is thriving too, with new visitors discovering the countrys humor, hospitality, scenery, and quality of life. Despite the varying allegiances of Northern Irelands people, they are friendly and warm towards visitors, curious to get to know you, and genuinely interested as to why youre visiting. However, it is best to avoid the topic of domestic politics.

    Scotland has a rich culture which is distinct from the other nations in the UK, of which they are fiercely proud. You will find most Scots to be friendly, warm, and with a strong sense of humor, although it can take more than one meeting for them to warm up to you.

    THE REGIONSEnglandFrom the metropolitan center of London to the beautiful rolling countryside of Bath and the Yorkshire Moors, England is a land of great diversity. It is steeped in history and tradition, yet leads the world in fashion and pop culture. Country cottages and captivating castles, crown jewels and cutting-edge culture The timeless treasures and modern pleasures of England are yours to discover and embrace!

    LondonLondon rivals New York for art, fashion, dining, and entertainment. Mix visits to the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, and Buckingham Palace with a shopping safari through Harrods, countless boutiques, and the funky Portobello Road Market. Nights are a whirlwind of world-class cuisine, theater, and clubbing.

    In London, ride a double-decker bus for an unbeatable vantage point from which to photograph Buckingham Palace. Hop off at St. Jamess Park to feed the ducks. Hail an iconic black taxi to Covent Garden or the West End theatre district to see a show.

    Not far from London, at the storybook World Heritage Site of Bath, you can soak in the famous hot springs, tour a 15th-century abbey, and visit Jane Austens home. Stonehenge is just an hour away.

    DININGOver the past several years, the global culinary revolution has washed over the British Isles as well, to the extent that there are now more than 100 Michelin-starred restaurants across England, Wales, and Scotland.

    But of course you can still find fish and chips, haggis, Irish stew, and all manner of locally brewed beers and ales as well as Scottish whiskeys and other traditional delights!

    There is also a renewed emphasis on local produce, which means that locally produced meats, cheeses, and drinks can be found in supermarkets, restaurants, and farmers markets pretty much everywhere.

    So sit down to some old-fashioned pub grub in London, relax with a dram of whiskey in St. Andrews, dig into an Ulster fry in Belfast, and sample some cheddars, blues, and soft cheeses from a Cardiff cheeseboard
