You'd need many lifetimes to truly get to grips with Europe's historical attractions. You could get lost in the maze of Istanbul's colorful Grand Bazaar, or imagine gladiators battling in Rome's Colosseum. In London, you can visit the famous bridges or admire the splendid Georgian architecture. Paris is a world unto itself. If you nab a Europe vacation rental here, you can lay out a romantic picnic next to the Eiffel Tower, look up at the Gothic gargoyles that adorn Notre Dame, or spot the Mona Lisa and other masterpieces in some of the world's greatest art museums.
Whether you're looking for adrenaline pumping all-out activities like bungee jumping, or more sedate adventures like coastal walking, Europe's got you covered. In Greece, you can don a mask to delve into the deep in search of marine life, while in the Austrian Tyrol you can circle on morning thermals attached to a paraglider. If you've nabbed a Europe vacation rental in Amsterdam, you can meander slowly around the beautiful city on classic bicycles, or if you're in Scotland, you could upgrade to something more modern and race down highland trails. Walking is big in Europe and you'll never be short on somewhere to hike.
Europe's weather is highly varied and surprisingly changeable. While the Alps might be carpeted in snow being carved up by skiers, just a couple of hours flight south in Italy or Spain, beach bums are being drenched in sunshine along the coast. As a general rule of thumb, the north of Europe receives below-freezing winters and hot summers, whereas the south receives mild, rainy winters with sunny summers. There's no right or wrong time to stay in a Europe vacation rental, there are things to do wherever you go, all year-round.
The continent's landscape is as varied as the people who live there. The snowy peaks of mountain ranges create natural country borders, woodland still occupies around 25 percent of the land and the edges are fringed by islands like the Britain, Ireland and Sardinia. This landscape teems with fauna. On the Scottish Orkney islands, you can see cheeky puffins, while brown bears and lynx slink through the forests of Finland. In Poland, you might catch a glimpse of the last remaining European bison and off Portugal's Azores, you can have up close encounters with sperm whales and orcas.
