For European explorers
Sure, everyone loves a good European summer. Gelatos, breathtaking beaches, & countryside beauty. Who wouldn’t? But European winter tours? They have a charm of their own. The sun still pokes its face across destinations like Italy and Spain. You can ski (or snowboard) down the snow-capped peaks. Get festive in some of the best Christmas markets in the world. And more than that, you can actually get that iconic pic in front of the Trevi fountain without being poked in the face by a selfie stick. So get ready to dive into all that culture, history and drool-worthy food (without hordes of tourists and sweltering heat), with Contiki’s Europe winter trips, exclusively for 18-35 year olds.

Great trip and made some new friends, would recommend and go again. The trip manager Phil and driver Erik went above and beyond to make our Christmas special.
Chloe Bourne, Paris for Christmas
We had an amazing time on our mini Austrian ski trip. The contiki staff was so accommodating and the atmosphere at the hostel was amazing. We will be booking another trip with Contiki soon!
Bryn Murphy, Austria Ski - 1 Week

Your search for ""
clear searchStep one: pick your destination! Austria, Germany, Greece, Norway, Ireland - there are so many amazing destinations to choose from. You’d then want to decide on your budget… find the perfect spots to stay in... research about the best things to do at the destination… and then make all your bookings. (Yikes, sounds like a hassle!)
Or you could just pick one of our winter trips to Europe. That way, all you’ll have to worry about is what colour winter jacket you should get.
Yep! Travelling to Europe between November and March will save you a whole lotta bucks. That’s because this tends to be off-season for tourists. That means cheaper flights, more affordable stays, stunning snowy views and a relatively crowd-free visit (Shh…don’t spread the secret!)
First things first. Pack. Warm. Clothes. Depending on which European country you’re heading to, the temperature is likely to drop below freezing point. This means you’ll want to get scarves, hoodies, sweaters, gloves, thermals, beanies and boots.
Other than that, getting sun cream, travel adapters, a camera (obviously - have you seen pictures of Europe in the winter!), and a day bag can be quite handy.
