Best time to visit Europe?

If you’re backpacking through Europe, the best time to travel is during the offseason. From November to March, you will easily find cheap flights and hotels slash their prices.

However, then winter comes around and it is one of the busiest times of the year for people planning a ski vacation or wanting to experience the Christmas Markets in Germany, Croatia, or Austria.

The busiest time of year is summer in Europe. From June to August, travelers from all over the world flock to the region to soak up the good weather and beautiful beaches.

If you’re planning a trip during these months, book as much of it as you can in advance. Flights and hotels, in these months, can triple in prices!
