THE PERFECT SEASONS TO MAKE EUROPE yours SAVVY TRAVELLERS KNOW WHEN TO
go
The crowds have gone. In the north, Christmas Markets begin to pop up, and mulled wines warm cold hands. In the south, no one bothers to change out of their summer wear, and the sun shines down on golden beaches. Somewhere in between, flowers bloom in a riot of colours across wide fields. This is Europe, between late fall and early spring.
These are the seasons for seasoned travellers like you.

REDEFINING THE season LOCAL
living
During this season, the touristy crowds thin out and the locals come back to flourish. Everything is less hectic, and there’s more time to sink into the local culture alongside the people who call that destination “home.”
MUST-SEES with SMALLER CROWDS Museum lines shrink. The crowds of photo-takers taper off at the iconic sites. The headache of getting into popular attractions disappears. Take advantage of smaller crowds during this time of year.
PLEASANT WEATHER
everywhere
In northern Europe, snows fall softly on the Christmas markets. In southern Europe, travellers trade their coats for short sleeves. No matter where you’re headed, the weather will be part of the experience.
affordable AIRFARE It’s not just the tours and attractions that see a price dip during this time. Airlines trim their prices as well, adding even more value to your tour. Book your air travel with Collette, and we’ll even pick you up and drop you off at the airport. (terms and conditions apply; call or visit collette.com for details)
