Europe
Taking the Grand Tour has never been easier. Walk among Roman and Greek ruins, chase waves on a Mediterranean beach, or test your endurance on an alpine trek. Languages of a dozen nations rise up from London streets. The music of Mozart drifts through his Austrian home. Flamenco guitar enlivens a Spanish square. Open borders and the wide use of the Euro makes touring Europe a breeze.
