Go with your family. Go on a whim, to try a bucket-list restaurant, or because you really deserve to sip champagne in Champagne. Whatever your reason, these experiences give you plenty of ways to take it all in.
You’re not the only one who wants to jet off to Europe. “We’re seeing an uptick in clients going in the spring,” says Lux Voyage‘s Virgi Schiffino Kennedy. “Usually it’s a summer destination.” The loosening of COVID restrictions is a factor: You no longer have to deal with testing requirements when traveling to or from many European countries (or re-entering the U.S.). Airlines are increasing their flights per week, which had been limited during the pandemic. And the dollar is almost equal to the euro. “People want to take advantage of that and prepay for experiences,” Kennedy says. Regardless, she advises, buy travel insurance right away. It can cover the unexpected — like being too sick to dine at Noma. (It happened to her, but she was reimbursed thanks to her policy.) And once you’re there, travel slow: “It’s important to consider our environmental footprint, understand the culture, and be respectful.”
