Adventure holidays in Europe can be some of the best adventures in the world. As adventure playgrounds go, it’s hard to argue with Europe and its 10 million square kilometres.
You can pretty much dream up any sort of adventure possible, and the odds are that it will be an adventure holiday that it’s possible to have in Europe. Unless it’s something to do with cycling around the world of course. Or visiting a very specific national park or capital city or mountain range. But stop getting so pernickety. You get our point. You can do all sorts of adventure holidays in Europe, from kayaking between the fjords of Norway to winter hiking in the Julian Alps of Slovenia, coasteering and wild camping in Cornwall, rafting and canyoning in Bosnia, bear watching in Romania and snorkelling in Albania.
Fancy getting knee deep in snow and watching the northern lights in Finnish Lapland? Off you go, and tell Santa we’ve all been good boys and girls while you’re there. Sunshine and sea kayaking in Sardinia more your thing? No problem. Want to get yourself up something? Hell with it, why not climb Mont Blanc? Or get significantly more off the beaten track and head off hiking in Kosovo. We know we’re sort of just listing stuff now, but honestly Europe has so much. And we’ve not even mentioned wild camping in Croatia, trekking Iceland or cycling the Silk Road in Georgia. Gosh. Good continent (though aren’t they all?).
In the rankings of all the things Europe’s got going for it, the fact that it’s a continent bursting at the borders with adventure holiday potential is definitely right up there. So let us take you under our wing (or maybe on the train?) and show you exactly why adventure holidays in Europe are up there with the best of them.
