Weekend trips in Europe can be a truly magical experience. From the sunny beaches of Greece to the rolling hills of Italy, our travels have taken us through many European destinations. All of the following destinations are places that are within easy reach and offer incredible experiences that you’ll always remember.

Hallstatt, Austria

It is known to be one of the most beautiful and charming places on Earth, with its traditional alpine houses, crystal clear lake, and breathtaking views of the snow-covered mountains. Hallstatt offers plenty of activities such as exploring salt mines and the ancient churches. Take a boat ride across Lake Hallstatt and visit the nearby Dachstein ice Cave — all of which guarantee an unforgettable experience.

Zakynthos, Greece

Zakynthos (or Zante) is one of the most beautiful and stunning islands in Europe. With its pure white beaches, unspoiled nature, and crystal clear blue waters, it’s no wonder that Zakynthos is one of the best weekend breaks in Europe for a relaxing getaway. From boat trips to the famous Blue Caves to discovering local pubs, there are plenty of activities to enjoy on this peaceful Greek island.

Amsterdam, Netherlands

What attracts people towards Amsterdam, one of the most popular destinations in Europe, are the museums, parks, Dutch cuisine, Heineken beer, and the tulips (郁金香)! What’s even more exciting is that it is completely practical to cover all the major attractions within a weekend trip to Amsterdam and even see the countryside with the help of the Amsterdam and region travel card.

Florence, Italy

With its breathtaking architecture, rich history, and Mediterranean climate, it’s easy to see why Florence is one of the best weekend trips in Europe. Another great reason why Florence is great for a weekend trip is its small size, which means you can easily experience a lot within just two days! If you are a food lover, learn how to make your own gelato (and pasta, pizza) in a Florence cooking class.
