From joining a Mont Blanc guided walk in the French mountains to hiking and biking in Andorra, Europe walking tours are no fleeting trend. As millions traverse its age-old cobbled streets, they discover a continent stitched together with stories, culture, and landscapes. Get to know Rome as you explore the Fontana di Trevi all the way to the Colosseum; walk from Piazza della Signoria to Oltrarno in Florence; and explore the romantic boulevards of Paris, with attractions like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. To take in the rustic charm and natural splendor of Europe, there are walking tours of the Dachstein Alps in Austria and the islands and mountains in Croatia. You will also find a myriad of self-guided walking tours around Europe.
