Use a Map to Choose a Destination
Try our Interactive European Travel Planning Map. You can find distances between cities and countries--and when you think you've got a route planned, you can click on a country and you'll be whisked away to that country's map and travel essentials, where you'll find a list of articles and links to the most popular tourist destinations in each country, as well as information on transportation, language, weather, food, and tipping practices.
Use our Annotated Picture Gallery
The European Photo Gallery has pictures annotated with visitor information or interesting facts. Lots of people decide on destinations by looking at pictures to set the mood.
Choose a Destination by Climate
Western Europe stretches from above the arctic circle to almost touch the deserts of Africa. We have links to climate information for the most popular destinations.
Choose a Destination by Cost
You can find out how much my working vacations cost by taking a look at these articles:
Europe Travel - How much does a European Vacation cost?
Rail Travel in Europe - Comparing Cost
And Finally, Consider Volunteering
Volunteer vacations can be fun, educational, and spiritually fulfilling. Plus, you may see parts of Europe you wouldn't see otherwise. Why not pick a destination by what you'd like to do? Maybe it's archaeology, restoring historic buildings, or teaching English. See our Volunteering in Europe Links.

Speaking of Destinations...
"One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things." ~ Henry Miller.
