Cultural Tours in Europe

Best Art and History Tours in Europe

When we visit a country, we want to understand something about how its people live, and we want to learn about its history, architecture, artistic expression and food.  These are the experiences that open our minds to new possibilities.  Around the world, we can come across ways of life that can be different from our own, such as in far eastern countries like China, Japan and Vietnam.  However, our own European continent is also incredible for the diversity of its culture and ways of living.

The Best European Cultural Tours Departing from the UK

European Cultural Tours and Ancient Greece

Guided cultural trips in Europe can have you explore places as radically different as Greece and Iceland.

If you look at our art and history holidays in Greece, you will see that  you can choose a tour in the south of the country, where the cultural legacy of ancient Greek architecture, art and theatre is there to be witnessed.  In the north of Greece, there are the treasures of Alexander the Great’s Macedonia and of the Byzantine Empire.  Then, of course, there are the magnificent Islands of Greece to explore, including the stunning Minoan and Roman sites on Islands like Crete.

Thingvellir on European Cultural Trip

A tour to Iceland invariably provides an exploration of amazing natural phenomena, such as glaciers, hot springs and the Northern Lights, but the country's art and history are also there to be explored.  On a guided cultural holiday package to Iceland, you are likely to discover that the Icelandic language has remained almost unchanged for a millennium and is close to that spoken by the Vikings.  With this comes a preservation of the mythical ‘sagas’ that tell of Norse romances and battles.  It is not widely known that Rejkjavik is blessed with excellent galleries and museums which explore Iceland’s traditions, art and heritage.  Better known is the Thingvellir, the oldest surviving parliament in the world.

Cultural tours in Europe are particularly rewarding for solo travellers, giving you the pleasure of sharing your experiences with other travellers.  For example, have a look through our selection of the best solo cultural holidays in Italy or browse through our collections of trips for singles in countries such as Greece and Portugal.
