Western Europe Tours & Holidays
Escorted holidays to Western Europe
Western Europe is a close-to-home holiday destination, featuring ancient traditions, rich architecture and fascinating history.
In Western Europe, you can have the pleasure of a holiday entrenched in history. From the walled fortress-citadel Carcassonne of France to Northern Ireland’s Titanic Belfast exhibition, you can dive deeper than ever before. What’s more, there’s scenery for miles, just think of the vibrantly green Scottish highlands, the Netherlands’ colourful bulbfields, or Ireland’s dramatic Cliffs of Moher. For relaxation and luxury, Monaco has that in spades, with the casinos and boutiques of Monte Carlo.
Simply put, Western Europe offers the benefits of being very close to home while still boasting a suite of rich cultures and languages. France is an exceptional destination for art, with the galleries of Musée des Arts et Métiers, The Louvre, and Musée du Quai Branly offering some of the world’s best masterpieces.
Consider a multi-country holiday in this part of Europe, so you can experience how the locals and cultures weave together while sharing the same land. Be sure to people watch during your travels, whether that’s sipping coffee in a chic Parisian cafe or strolling along the waterfront in Liverpool.
