Everyone dreams of traveling to Europe. Whether you' re taking your first trip by yourself, going there with a little money, or just looking for new cities, cultures and food, Europe is something for everyone
Europe is one of the most interesting continents(大陆) you can visit. It has a deep- rooted history and welcomes cultures from all over the world. And it's one of the easiest places to travel around with the convenient transportation ( you may take the subway and taxi easily in Europe).
There are several parts of Europe: eastern Europe, northern Europe, southern Europe and western Europe. Among these, the eastern Europe is a good choice for travelers who want to save money. Northern Europe is known for its natural phenomenon(现象)- the Northern Lights. If you want to see them, you need to visit in winter only when conditions are at their best. Southern Europe is made up of all the countries close to Mediterranean Sea and it's known for its natural wonders and ancient history. Western Europe is the most popular part of Europe, and it has lots of famous spots, like the Eiffel Tower, Van Gogh Museum and Big Ben.
If you are backpacking through Europe, the best time to travel is from November to March, when you'll find cheap tickets for planes and hotels. However, if you're planning a ski vacation or you want to visit the
Christmas Markets, you'll find large crowds of travelers. The busiest time of year for Europe is summer. From June to August, travelers from all over the world go to this place to enjoy the good weather.
