Those who wish to admire architectural marvels and relish historical landmarks would take hours to decide what to see and what to miss.
When to go:
Europe has a high season in summer and another in winter. Crowding is the main difficulty in the warmest months of June, July and particularly August. In some countries, such as France and Italy, many shops and restaurants close in August while locals take their own holidays, meaning that some cities can feel rather dead.
Global warming has meant a later start to the skiing season; often, decent snowfalls aren’t recorded until January (or even February). December is always busy in locations such as Paris, Prague and any Austrian or German city with a quaint Christmas market. Easter is another busy time.
You can find bargains by visiting traditionally ‘summer’ destinations such as Greece in winter, but be aware that public transport might be less frequent. In some northern locations such as Scotland and Scandinavia, it might not run at all as heavy snow and ice mean services are seasonal.
For all the above reasons, by far the best months to travel in Europe are May, June and September.
Local Transport:
Europe's public-transportation systems are so good that many urban Europeans go through life never learning to drive. Their wheels are trains, subways, trams, and buses (plus the occasional taxi). By riding with the locals, you too can take advantage of Europe's convenient network of buses and rails.
Learning how to use the public transportation system while traveling is a great way to save time and money. Instead of sitting in a taxi in Paris' morning traffic, you can ride the Metro to the Eiffel Tower, leaving all of that chaos overhead, and be among the first in line to climb to the top. In Verona, Italy, I recently saved several euros by catching the bus to my hotel from the train station, rather than taking a cab. And it didn't even take much longer, since most cities coordinate their train and bus systems pretty efficiently.
