Europe: 22 Destinations to Book
Europe on the engine splits neatly into two seasons. The capitals — London, Paris, Rome, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Madrid — and the water cities of Venice and La Rochelle carry the spring-to-autumn traffic, joined by island escapes to Santorini, Rhodes and Sicily and the food-and-festival cities of Seville and Cork. Then winter flips the map to the mountains: the Pirin range above Bansko, Jasná in Slovakia's Low Tatras, Kanin-Sella Nevea on the Slovenia–Italy border, Gudauri in Georgia, Zakopane in Poland, Vallnord in Andorra, Vogel, Kolašin and Boí Taüll — value ski weeks the big brands ignore.

VeniceEuropeGuides for Europe
The Eiffel Tower, Paris
Seven million people climb it every year, and most of them queue for longer than they stand at the top. A little planning fixes that.
Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel
Twenty-thousand people a day walk the same seven-kilometre route to the Sistine Chapel. The difference between a great visit and an ordeal is entirely about when you start.
La Sagrada Família, Barcelona
Gaudí's basilica has been under construction since 1882 and it still changes every year. The light inside changes every hour, which is the thing to plan around.
The Tower of London
A thousand-year-old fortress in the middle of a financial district, still guarded by soldiers, still home to the Crown Jewels. Arrive at opening and go straight to the jewels.
Oktoberfest, Munich
Six million visitors, fourteen large tents and seven million litres of beer served at long tables you have to earn a place at. The trick is the weekday lunchtime.
Venice Carnival
Venice in February is cold, misty and full of eighteenth-century ghosts in silk. The Carnival is a fortnight of costume, candlelit balls and a woman flying over St Mark's Square on a wire.
