Europe isn’t just about castles, cathedrals, and cobblestones… it’s also home to some of the most jaw-dropping national parks in the world! 🌍✨
From glaciers to volcanoes, fjords to fairytale lakes... these are perfect stops to weave into a custom Europe trip for you and your significant other next year!
Here are 7 of my favorites:
🇭🇷 Plitvice Lakes, Croatia – 16 shimmering lakes, cascading waterfalls, and colors so vibrant you’ll swear it’s CGI. Think *Lord of the Rings* brought to life.
🇮🇹 Vesuvius Volcano, Italy – Hike to the crater of the world’s most famous volcano, sip an Aperol spritz at the top, and pair it with a visit to Pompeii. History + adventure in one.
🇮🇸 Thingvellir, Iceland – Stand between two continents at this UNESCO site where Viking chieftains once gathered. Bonus: waterfalls and the original “geyser” nearby!
🇬🇷 Pindus Mountains, Greece – A rugged wilderness with epic hiking, ancient stone bridges, and hidden monasteries. Top it off with local wine & cheese on a jeep safari.
🇮🇪 Killarney, Ireland – Lakes, castles, abbeys, and Ireland’s tallest peaks. It’s the Emerald Isle exactly how you’ve pictured it, deer and all.
🇫🇷 Calanques, France – Turquoise coves, dramatic white cliffs, and secret beaches near Marseille. Explore by boat or hike down for that perfect Riviera view.
🇳🇴 Jostedalsbreen, Norway – Europe’s largest glacier, wild fjords, reindeer-dotted meadows, and eagle-filled skies. A frozen fairytale in real life!
💡 Whether you’re dreaming of a hiking trip, a cultural escape, or just want to sprinkle some “wow” moments into your European vacation, I can customize a trip that fits *your* schedule, budget, and travel style. These parks make incredible pit stops on greater journeys!
