Insight Vacations wants Canadians to experience "European fall colours, winter magic and spring blooms while discovering experiences that are unique to the seasons", all while having fewer crowds to contend with. And Canadians who book early can save up to 7.5 per cent off Insight's trips to Europe during autumn, winter and spring.
"Travelling to Europe is special all year long, but what many clients don't realize is that outside of the summer months, the seasons come alive and there are many opportunities to have authentic experiences in these destinations" said Cris David, president, Insight Vacations Canada. "Whether our guests prefer to explore in the autumn, winter or spring, with Insight Vacations, they will have an extensive collection of unique escorted touring experiences to choose from, and all for incredibly good value."
Insight Vacations has provided a few reasons why your client's shouldn't pass up an opportunity to visit Europe in autumn, winter or spring.
In autumn, the weather is still relatively warm, especially in southern Europe, yet there are fewer crowds as most of the tourists have gone home, giving travellers more opportunities to meet the locals. Travellers can enjoy fall foliage, sip a beer (or three) at Germany's Oktoberfest, or take part in a grape stomp in Spain or Italy. Even fall rains aren't a bad thing as the rain makes autumn the best season for truffle hunting and mushroom foraging.
In winter Europe can become a magical wonderland as snow blankets spiky peaks, Christmas markets brighten up town centres, and the smell of mulled glühwein fills the air. Festivals continue to take place even as the temperature dips, including the Kiruna Snow Festival, the Dublin International Film Festival, and various Carnivals in many cities.
The season of rebirth and renewal sees the continent burst into colourful bloom, from the tulips of the Netherlands to the wildflowers of Tuscany. In spring, the crisp, clean air is perfect for outdoor exploration, and there are hundreds of fresh fruits and vegetables to try at farmers' markets. Shoulder season also sees smaller crowds than summer, plus fantastic festivals like the Prague Spring Festival and the Spring Fair in Seville.
