Scandinavian Explorer: Copenhagen, Stockholm, & Oslo
Explore three of Scandinavia’s great cities on this Europe itinerary.

Day 1: Arrive in Copenhagen
Days 2 & 3: Explore Copenhagen
Day 4: Fly to Stockholm, explore Stockholm
Days 5 & 6: Stockholm

Copenhagen is a delight, with its picturesque harbor called Nyhavn. If you are traveling as a family, kids will love Tivoli Gardens, one of the oldest amusement parks in the world.
Stockholm is a gorgeous city. Stroll through Gamla Stan, visit City Hall (where the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded every year), and take a day cruise through the archipelago.
Then, hop over to Oslo, Norway. Learn about Vikings, visit a ski jump, and then take the Norway in a Nutshell cruise to sneak a peek at the fjords.
A Taste of Italy: Rome, Florence, & Venice
Who doesn’t dream of touring Italy? Ten days is just enough time to get a taste of this country. Rome, Florence, and Venice are three of Italy’s most popular cities, places that many travelers feel like they must see. If you have 10 days in Europe, here’s how to do it.
A Taste of Italy
Day 1: Arrive in Rome
Day 2 & 3: Rome
Day 4: Take a train to Florence in the morning
Days 5, & 6: Florence and Tuscany
Day 7: Train to Venice
Day 8 & 9: Venice
Day 10: Fly home
Florence deserves the biggest chunk of time in this itinerary. Spend at least one day exploring Florence, and then use your extra days to take day trips into Tuscany, visiting Siena and the other hill towns. You can do this on your own by renting a car or using the public buses (but this was a nightmare in our experience…we highly recommend renting your own car or hiring a driver while in Tuscany!).
Rome
San Gimignano in Tuscany
Florence
Venice
If you have more than 10 days, considering adding in Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast, the Cinque Terre, or the Dolomites into your itinerary.

Or, if you want, rent a car, which gives you more freedom and a chance to hit some of the hillside towns. Nice has an international airport, convenient for your flight home.
Villefranche-sur-Mer
Iceland Ring Road Itinerary
A road trip on the Ring Road is one of Iceland’s best experiences. Not only do you get to visit Reykjavík, the Golden Circle, and highlights along the south coast, but you also get to travel to north and east Iceland, where the landscapes are no less beautiful but much less crowded.
The Ring Road the main road that makes a loop around the entire island. Highlights include the Blue Lagoon, Skogafoss waterfall, whale watching, Myvatn, Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, and a glacier walk.
The best time for this itinerary is from June through September when the days are long, the weather is stable, and the roads are free from snow. If you are looking for a great summertime destination, this is one of our top picks.

This is one of our most popular itineraries and a wonderful way to spend 10 days in Europe.

Hiking the Puez Odle Altopiano
If hiking is not your thing, take the train to Verona and spend the day exploring this very pretty city. At the end of the day, continue on to Milan by train.
On day 5, ride the Bernina Express to Lucerne. It’s a long travel day by train but this railway is hailed as being one of the most spectacular train journeys in Europe. To do this, you will take the train from Milan to Tirano, ride the Bernina Express to Chur, and take a third train to Lucerne. The Man in Seat 61 has an excellent article about how to do this.
On day 6, spend the day in Lucerne. You also have the option to add on the trip up Mt. Pilatus or Titlis.
Finally, spend three wonderful days in the Jungfrau region of the Bernese Oberland. This area is so quintessentially Swiss, an alpine wonderland with Swiss chalets, alpine meadows, cable cars, mountain villages, and rustic farms.
For a full listing of what to do here, read our article 20 Amazing Things to do in the Jungfrau Region of Switzerland.
On day 10, fly home from Zürich or Geneva.

Need Help Picking the Perfect Europe Itinerary?
Here are our recommendations for how to spend 10 days in Europe, based on season and traveling style.
By Traveling Style
If this is your first time in Europe, the London Paris itinerary is a great first-timer’s itinerary. With just two cities, you don’t have to put much time into train reservations and hotel reservations. Plus, London and Paris are amazing and you have a lot of time with this itinerary to immerse yourself in both cities. The Taste of Italy itinerary is also a great way to spend 10 days in Europe if this is your first trip.
If you like cities, history, and culture, our London Paris itinerary, Central Europe itinerary, Amsterdam Brussels Paris itinerary, and Copenhagen Stockholm Oslo itinerary are great options.
For those who love hiking and the outdoors, our top picks are the Northern Norway itinerary and the Iceland Ring Road itinerary.
If you want to visit some beautiful beaches and islands, our Greece itinerary and the Barcelona French Riviera itinerary should be at the top of your list.
If you are traveling with kids, the London Paris itinerary is great. This was Tyler and Kara’s first experience in Europe and they loved it (they were 8 and 9 years old). It’s a nice mix of history and iconic sights. Plus, you only need two hotels, so there is very little moving around and packing and unpacking on this itinerary. Other great picks for kids are the Northern Italy and Switzerland itinerary, the Northern Norway itinerary, and the Iceland Ring Road itinerary.
By Season
Summer
All of these work great in the summer. This is the busiest time to visit Europe, so expect big crowds and make sure that you make your hotel reservations far in advance.
This is the best time to do the Iceland Ring Road itinerary. The days are long and the roads are free of snow.
This is also the best time to do the Northern Italy and Switzerland itinerary, if you plan to hike in the Dolomites and the Bernese Oberland.
The summer is also one of the best times to visit northern Norway. The days are long, so long that you can easily see the midnight sun in June and July.
Autumn
In autumn, crowds tend to lessen, but places like Italy, Paris, and Barcelona can still be very crowded until the calender flips to November.
You can drive the Ring Road in the fall, just be prepared for snowy conditions and the possibility that the roads could close due to snowfall. In late September, it is also possible to see the Northern Lights in Iceland.
Winter
If you are traveling in December, it will be cold, but the Central Europe itinerary makes a nice pick, and just before Christmas you can visit the Christmas markets.
Our London Paris itinerary, Taste of Italy itinerary, and Amsterdam Brussels Paris itinerary can all be done during the winter months.
I don’t recommend Greece, Iceland, or the French Riviera this time of year. You can visit northern Norway, just be prepared to drive on snow-covered roads.
Spring
This is another great time to visit Europe. It’s shoulder season, so it’s less crowded and cheaper than the summer months.
In April and May, the bulbs are blooming in the Netherlands, making this the best time for the Amsterdam Brussels Paris itinerary. This is also a great time to visit London and Paris and Central Europe.
In May, temperatures are warming up and crowds aren’t crazy yet, making this a great time to visit Barcelona, the French Riviera, Greece, and Italy.

Hi, what a nice blog..I am from the Philippines and planning our first family vacation outside Asia. Europe is on top of our list.Me and my husband will be celebrating our 20 years anniversary this December. We are plannning to spend 10 days in Europe with our 2 children ages 18 and 11 years old. .Any suggestions which country to go first?Thinking of Switzerland and Paris/ Italy and Paris or London and Paris. We love sightseeing and a nature lover as well. Please help me decide.

Hello Joyce. I think Switzerland with Paris and Italy sounds wonderful. In December, you won’t be able to do any hiking (since the trails will be snow covered) but many of the trains and cable cars in the Bernese Oberland will still be running, so you can still visit this area. If you live in the Philippines, seeing the snow will probably be a nice treat. 🙂 If you want to visit these three places, I recommend spending 3 days in Paris, 3 to 4 days (or more) in the Bernese Oberland/Lucerne area of Switzerland, and 7 days (or more) in Italy.
Paris and London is also a great trip for a first-timer to Europe. You won’t get to see much nature but you will get to tour two of Europe’s great cities.
If you have any questions during your planning write in again! Cheers, Julie
Great page with plethora of information for planning. And very well organized!
We are planning a 11 day trip to Europe end of May (May 22nd onwards) and the canvas is wide open. This is with two kiddos 7 and 11. Was looking at the (Copenhagen -> Stockholm -> Oslo -> Bergen) itinerary. But wondering if it will be too cold end of May. But looks like the crowds would certainly be less.
Any other itinerary recommendations that time of the year? Was looking at visiting some cities and possibly some non-city stuff to mix things up if possible. Any itinerary suggestions for end of May? Been to London several times so didn’t want to do that.
Thanks and Cheers!

You can do the Scandinavia itinerary in May. It will be chilly, but not too bad. If you like the idea of also getting outdoors, with a mix of cities and non-cities, the northern Italy & Switzerland itinerary is nice. Depending on how much snowfall the area got, hiking trails might not be open in May, but it would be close (some hiking trails do not open until June, and you will be there just before then, so it’s hard to say if they will be clear of snow at the end of May). The Greece itinerary is also very nice. I think May would be a good time to go to Greece. You won’t have peak crowds but the weather and the water should be warm enough that you can go to the beach etc. Cheers, Julie
We are trying to plan a trip to Europe in September. We have a wedding in Biarritz, France on September 4,2020..
We are coming from Memphis, Tn. We were hoping to come before wedding for 4 or 5 days and stay after wedding 4 or 5 days. So would flying to Paris or London , leaving Memphis on August 29th staying at either Paris or London till Wednesday ,September 2nd. Then traveling to Biarritz for wedding on the 4th. Then leaving on the 5th for Paris or London till the 10th or the 11th to fly home. Is this possible and where would you advise to fly to first.
Author
Hello Donna. I don’t think that the order matters all that much, as far as sightseeing. London does need more time than Paris, since there is more to do in London. Three full days in Paris is great. You could fly to Paris, see Paris, and then travel to Biarritz. After Biarritz, fly to London, see London. If you fly home from London, you will save yourself a travel day getting back to Paris. But you could also do this in the opposite order. I just recommend having a full 5 days in London, since there is so much to do here. Cheers, Julie
Hallo there.
My name is JAY from Malaysia, I am planning a London Paris and Amsterdam tour. Start and finish in London. As I would like to visit my former university in Manchester at the end of the tour.

I have been to all those places in 1990″s, my student time, and would like to take my wife at this time
Looking forward for your advice. Planning in March 2020.
Thank you.

Hello, we don’t book tours, but we offer these itineraries to help you plan your trip. We have a 10 day London Paris itinerary that will help you out. Pick and choose the days you like, return to London by train, and end in Manchester. Cheers, Julie
hello from Washington DC! Thanks for this website with plethora of travel information for families. Most of the travelling blogs focus mostly on adults or backpacking individuals. Your website is well organized and neatly written with a lot of useful information.
I and my husband are planning on a family trip to central Europe in June 2020 for three weeks. My husband is an avid hiker, he loves to hike and he has been to Argentina and the Himalayan base camp hiking trips in recent years. I and my kids are not so much, however, we do some amount of hiking in local national parks during the warm seasons.
We have a 16 year old (in May) son and a 12 year old daughter. I am thinking it would be nice if we could alternate city and nature visits.
So far, from all the useful information from your website, I have short-listed these places–
1. Czechia (Prague)
2. Poland (Krakow)
3. Slovakia (Tatras and Bratislava or Kosice)
4. Croatia (Zagreb and ??)
5. Slovenia (Lake Bled and ??)
6. Hungary (Budapest)
7. Austria (Vienna)
8. Back to Prague and fly home.
Do you have any suggestions in terms of the itinerary or anything in general?
Thanks
Anitha.

Hello Anitha. I’m glad you like our website! You have some wonderful places listed! Here is the route that I recommend: Prague -> Krakow -> Tatras -> Kosice -> Budapest -> Croatia -> Slovenia -> Vienna -> maybe Bratislava -> Prague. This forms a loop so you won’t do much backtracking. In Croatia, stick with northern Croatia. With everything you have listed, you won’t have enough time to get down to Drubrovnik. In northern Croatia, you can visit Plitvice Lakes and the Istrian Peninsula. In Slovenia, Ljubljana is very nice and you could spend a few days in Lake Bled or Kranjska Gora and day trip from here. Bratislava is an easy day trip from Vienna. When driving from Slovenia to Vienna, depending on how your timing works out for your itinerary, you could visit Hallstatt on the way, if you have an extra day in your itinerary. Hallstatt is a very popular, crowded destination, but it is very pretty. Bratislava may not quite have the same wow factor, but with lower crowds, we enjoyed our visit to Bratislava a lot more than Hallstatt. Driving between all of these destinations is very easy. Everything on your list is in the Schengen zone, except for Croatia. When you drive into and out of Croatia, you will go through a border crossing and have to show your passport. Also make your rental car company aware of all of the countries you plan on visiting. If you have any other questions as you plan your trip, don’t hesitate to reach out to us again. Cheers, Julie
Greetings from Asia (Malaysia to be exact :D).
I was scratching my head to plan our first trip to Europe until I saw your blog here. I find it really helpful especially those travel advises, sample itineraries and those reminders before planning a trip to Europe!
This will my first time travelling to Europe along with my hubbie for our 14-day honeymoon, we have planned for visits to Santorini beaches (preferably pink & non-nude beaches) and Athens in Greece, Serbia and Switzerland. What sort of itinerary and modes of transport along the whole journey do you propose?
Many thanks in advance, Julie.
Author
Hello Jacklyn. Sounds like you are planning a very nice honeymoon! I recommend flying between Athens, Serbia, and Switzerland. You will need roughly 5 days for Greece (2 days in Athens and 3 in Santorini). We have not been to Serbia yet so I am not sure how much time you will need there. As for Switzerland, anywhere from 7 to 10 days would be great. With 7 days, you could fly to Zurich, spend 1 or 2 days in Lucerne, and put the rest of your time in the Bernese Oberland (stay in Murren, Wengen, Lauterbrunnen, or Grindelwald). You might want to consider taking out Serbia and just putting your time into Switzerland and Greece. They are two very different experiences and it would be nice to take a little more time in each place, rather than trying to add on a 3rd country. However, if you have a strong desire to visit Serbia, you can squeeze it in, you will just need to sacrifice some time in Switzerland. In Greece, you can fly or take the ferry between Santorini and Athens (flying is much faster). In Switzerland, use the train to get around. Cheers, Julie
Hi,
We are planning for a 20-day Europe + London trip starting on 14th June, 2020 with 6 adults and 2-kids (5 & 8). We will be arriving in Munich and then plan to cover Czech Republic, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Paris and spend last 4-days in London since our return flight is from London.
Would you mind suggesting an itinerary for above dates? Also, are you allowed to rent 9-seater from Munich and drive through above listed countries? Just want to make sure that way we don’t end up getting into any issues.
Look forward to hearing back. Thanks!

20 days in Europe…nice!! There isn’t one specific itinerary on this list that I would recommend. And I think that you are trying to fit a lot into 20 days. I recommend eliminating Italy. I think you need 8 to 10 days to make a visit to Italy worth it and that will use up about half of your time. Italy, on its own, would make a great future trip.
With 20 days, here is a general route you can follow with time estimates: Munich (2 days) -> Prague (3 days) -> Vienna (2 days) -> Salzburg and Hallstatt (2 days) -> Innsbruck (1 day) -> Lucerne with day trips (3 days) -> Paris (3 days) -> London (4 days).
Yes, you should be able to rent a vehicle for this itinerary. The fee to drop off a car in a different country than you picked it up has gotten to be very expensive, so you might want to research this before finalizing your itinerary. Autoeurope.com is a good place to start your search. You will save a lot of money if you start and end in Munich (and then fly or take a train to London). For our itinerary above, go back to Munich after Innsbruck, drop off the van, take the train to Paris and/or Switzerland for a few days, and then continue to London.
Cheers, Julie
Very nice descriptions . I am planning with family 7 members ,to Munich on 5th April 2020 and return from Amsterdam on 14th April 2020. Can any suggest itinerary of Germany and neetherland.
Author
Hello. You could spend 2 days in Munich and 2 days in Amsterdam. You have about 8 days for travel so this uses up half of your time. For the other four days, you could visit the Bavaria region, drive the Romantic Road, or visit Nuremberg and Cologne. To do the Romantic Road and Bavaria, a rental car would be helpful but you could also organize tours from Munich. To get to Nuremberg, Cologne, and then Amsterdam, you could take the train. Cheers, Julie
Wonderful read … I am planning my second Europe Trip .. first we did only Switzerland and v satisfied with it .. I want to three cities London Paris and Amsterdam with a 12 -14 days itinery.. could u suggest how I can go about . Thanks
Author
That sounds like a great trip. There’s 2 ways to do it. We have a London Amsterdam Paris itinerary for 10 days. You can use this itinerary and add on your extra days. One more day in each city would be perfect. Or, take our 10 day London Paris itinerary and add on our 2 day Amsterdam itinerary. A third day in Amsterdam would give you more time and the ability to day trip to another destination in the Netherlands. Cheers, Julie
Great article! We’ve been to Rome, Florence and Venice years ago. Now our daughter is studying for the semester in Rome and is taking weekend jaunts to Amalfi coast, Tuscany, Ireland, Paris and London (and maybe more). We are planning to visit and see Rome with her again (throwing that coin in the trevi worked lol) and also take her to Venice. But with the cheap flights to Paris and London I’m wondering how if we can squeeze it all in? I’ll be there prob 10 days, my husband is coming later. You’ve got me thinking 😐
Author
Hello Nancy. What a great place to study abroad!! It sounds like you would like to see Rome, Venice, London, and Paris in 10 days. It’s possible but you might feel like you are in a race. Two days in Venice is enough time to see the main sights. If you want to see Rome with your daughter, you probably need at least 2 days, maybe 3. So that leaves you with 5 days, not including any time you need to travel to/from the US.
You could fly to London or Paris to take advantage of the cheap flights and then catch a short flight the same day to Rome. Spend a few days in Rome, a few days in Venice, and then travel back to London or Paris and do some sightseeing here. You can see both cites very quickly or just choose one and thoroughly explore it. It’s very easy to spend a full, busy 5 days in London without running out of things to do. Fly home from London or Paris.
Hope this helps! Cheers, Julie
