What is the land like in Europe?
Well North Europe such as Scotland, Switzerland and other countries are quite cold, snowy and mountainous in some parts, where as centeral Europe such as England, France, Germany etc is alot more mixed, it can be sunny or rainy, foggy or clear, cold or hot! but mainly its nice during summer and snowy during winter. and in South Europe such as Italy, South France, Turkey and Greece are much more hot and dry, humid and quite nice, but there you will not find any snow onless you go into the mountainous regions, Central is much more greener and flat or sometimes hilly, but not mountainous, if you want mountains for skiing go North but if you want climbing/Hiking mountains go South. if you are looking for a nice summer get away go for Italy or Greece, Spain can be abit tempermental with the rain as i have had with past experience. England (where i am) is quite a nice place if you don't mind the rain now and again, but if you like small cottages in the Forest or camping then we are the right place! and France is obviously much more for their City's and villas :)

Some airlines have some really good prices, but the prices are usually lowered on short notice, when they have extra space on the plane, so you'd have to be flexible. but if you really want to travel to Europe in an interesting way, travel on a freighter ship. they arent as well accomodated as cruise ships, but they have extra rooms and meals, so if you can catch one then go for it! as for travel while you're in Europe, take taxis or even short plane rides. despite common belief, the trains are more expensive and in turn, not the best or most cost effective way to travel Europe.
