Traveling to a different continent is like traveling to a different world. There are new cultures to experience and unknown places to explore. You need to have a basic understanding of another country's rules to have a peaceful and enjoyable vacation. With 725 million people, 50 countries and 20 official languages, there is a lot to learn about Europa (Europe). To have the perfect European vacation, it is essential to recognize the best time to travel, different transportation methods, currency conversions and the best places to visit. Knowing the right time to travel is an important aspect of a perfect vacation. Depending on the weather, there is a portion of Europe that can be traveled at any time due to the multiple climates spanning the 50 countries (Dixon). The most popular time to travel is July and August because they are the holiday months in the United States, but in Europe the weather is also generally good during those months (Dixon). A disadvantage of traveling during the most popular season is that prices are much higher, so this is also an important factor to consider when planning the perfect European vacation (Dixon). If the cost of traveling during the summer is an issue, your best bet would be to travel in the spring or fall because the prices are much cheaper, but the weather is still comfortable (Dixon). Another consideration in deciding the best time to travel is the type of events taking place. In many European countries there are frequent festivals and carnivals to visit and enjoy (Dixon). Knowing the weather, prices and events is important to decide the best time to travel to Europe and experience a perfect holiday.
