Europe (Italy, Austria, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Europe's heartland stretches from the sun-drenched Mediterranean coast of Italy through the Alpine peaks of Switzerland and Austria to the historic cities and waterways of Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and beyond. The region is one of the world's most diverse travel destinations, offering Roman ruins, Renaissance art, Gothic cathedrals, and cutting-edge contemporary culture within a few hours of each other. Travellers come for iconic experiences — skiing in the Alps, cycling along Dutch canals, wine tasting in Bordeaux or Tuscany, and exploring world-class museums in Paris, Amsterdam, and Vienna. Excellent rail connections make multi-country itineraries across this corridor especially popular with independent and group travellers alike.

Europe Highlights Christmas – Self-Launched Edition

A self-launched version of Travel Chasers (formerly Expat Explore)'s 10-day Christmas coach circuit: Rome → Venice → Innsbruck → Munich → Rhine Valley → Amsterdam → Ghent → Paris → Burgundy → Swiss Alps → Lake Como → Pisa/Florence → Rome. Instead of a 50-person coach and 3-4* hotels, you'll string together cheap flights, high-speed and regional trains, and Christmas-market towns using hostels and budget guesthouses. The route is squeezed — expect long travel days and early starts — but you'll hit the same festive highlights (Venetian canals, Munich's Marienplatz markets, Rhine wine tasting, Amsterdam Light Festival, Ghent, Montmartre, Beaune, the Alps, Lake Como, Pisa and Florence) for roughly half the price. All costs are approximate per-person estimates in GBP and assume a solo traveller sharing dorms or a twin where cheaper.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Europe (Italy, Austria, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
