Central and Eastern Europe can be debated by academic, politicians and
map-makers, the area is without a doubt a treasure trove of history, culture,
heritage and gastronomy. On a resort stay anywhere in Central and Eastern
Europe, you can tour ancient castles, delight in the opera or ballet, see
charming villages and savor authentic culinary treasures, such as Austrian
Wiener schnitzel, Sachertorte and apple strudel, Polish pierogies and Hungarian
goulash.

The countries of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland are high on many
American travelers' must-visit lists. Not only are they filled with amazing
sightseeing opportunities (from castles to coves), but since English is spoken
throughout Great Britain and Ireland, visitors find it the area easier to
navigate and communicate with the locals than some other European countries.

When you visit Greece, at the juncture of Europe, Asia and Africa, you are
standing at a crossroads of cultures, colors and civilizations. Not only do you
enjoy the wonderful warmth that comes from vacationing in a Mediterranean
climate, but you experience the warmth of the Greek people, so proud of their
rich heritage and traditions. The birthplace of so many things we might take for
granted in the Western world, such as modern-day democracy, theater, even the
Olympics, Greece has an undeniably important history. Its inhabitants and the
country's culture have made incredibly significant contributions to the world in
terms of literature, philosophy and science.
From its traditional blue-and-white architecture to its ancient ruins, rocky mountains to golden beaches, modern cities to secluded islands - Greece is a feast for the senses. And that's not even mentioning the amazing Greek food! Sample savory spanakopita, moussaka and stuffed grape leaves during your resort stay in Greece, and if you are one to take in all of the exciting nightlife, hit the bars and clubs in Athens and on the islands to try the licorice-flavored national drink, ouzo.

No other country in the world has as rich a history of artistic and
intellectual creativity. After all, Italy is the birthplace of the Renaissance
and Baroque movements, and the home of such notable artists and brilliant
thinkers as Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Donatello, Botticelli, Caravaggio,
Titian and Raphael. Naturally, many visitors take in the marvelous painting,
sculptures and frescoes of these major artists during a resort stay in Italy - but
then there's so much more to see and do.
Tour ancient ruins and some of the world's most beautiful cathedrals; climb to the top of the world-renowned Leaning Tower of Pisa; drive through beautiful Tuscany, filled with rolling hills and beautiful vineyards; sun yourself on the tropical Mediterranean coast. And then there's the absolutely delicious cuisine! From pizza to pasta, and polenta to prosciutto, indulge in all of your authentic Italian favorites on a resort vacation in Italy.

The geography of Scandinavia is unlike any other in the world: Norwegian
fjords, looming mountains, many crystal-clear lakes, and small islands
(archipelagos) dotting the Baltic and North seas. Even the most cosmopolitan
cities in Scandinavia are minutes away from outdoor pursuits. In general,
Scandinavia is a great destination to enjoy nature with its seasonal contrasts
Because of its location in Northern Europe, Scandinavia in general enjoys long summer days - perfect for enjoying the many outdoor festivals or for exploring the wonderful landscapes. But, at the same time, winter can be long, with little daylight in some parts during the heart of the cold-weather months. That doesn't mean you couldn't - or shouldn't - plan a winter visit to these countries, however. Restaurants and nightclubs show their spirit during the winter months, throwing fun parties and bringing the warmth indoors. The magnificent Northern Lights are also more visible during the winter months.

On the Iberian Peninsula in the extreme southwest of Europe, Spain and
Portugal are bordered on the south and east by the Mediterranean Sea and on the
north and west by the Atlantic Ocean - which means plenty of coastline for beach
resort vacations in the warm-weather months!
But Spain and Portugal have plenty more to offer than its temperate Mediterranean climate and oceanfront resorts. Consider the phenomenal art museums in Barcelona and Madrid, ancient mosques, palaces and castles in Cordoba and Granada, and the tropical islands rich in nightlife off of both countries' coasts. Delicious cuisine you may sample on the Iberian Peninsula includes paella, chorizo, tortillas (egg omelets), a variety of olives, shellfish and seafood, plus sangria and port wine.

Delight in cosmopolitan cities so rich in history and culture during a resort
stay in Western Europe. From the important seaport of Hamburg, Germany, in the
north, to beautiful Lugano, Switzerland, on a major lake in the south, resort
vacations in Western Europe often revolve around water. That means during your
stay you can boat tours in pretty harbors, across scenic lakes, down winding
rivers or through a network of canals, such as in Amsterdam, known as the
"Venice of the North."
But naturally all the urban centers and smaller cities in Germany, Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands, offer many opportunities for sightseeing: world-renowned museums, ancient castles, sprawling gardens and historic landmarks. With top-notch performance venues, you can take in the opera, ballet or symphony. Plus, all of AffordableTours.com's resort locations make great home bases for exploring outside the city limits, with day trips into the countryside for scenic attractions or enjoying outdoor pursuits.
