Also, Europe is the safest continent to travel - you can read all about it in our blog with the most dangerous and safest countries in Europe.

Europe is a continent that is often overlooked by Dutch world travelers. A shame, because there is so much beauty to see in Europe. Just think of the open-air museum called Rome, the countless Greek islands with clear blue water or the breathtaking landscapes in Scandinavia. And that in just a few hours flying time! Reason enough to stay in Europe for a nice city trip or beach holiday.
The large European cities are used by many travelers as a nice way to escape the Netherlands for a while. Often as a snack, if, for example, a world trip is not financially feasible. Popular cities for a city trip are cities such as Paris, London, Athens, Rome, Madrid and Barcelona. For most cities you can pretty much sort them out in a few days. Do you fall in love with a city? Then you just come back one more time!
If you are only used to the Dutch beaches, there is still a lot to discover in Europe. You will find beautiful beaches scattered throughout Europe. We already mentioned the Greek islands, but what about the Italian and Spanish coasts? Can't choose between city and beach? Then choose a combination of a large city with a beach, such as Barcelona.
