 When summer hits, Europe transforms into a patchwork of sunny beaches, lush mountain trails, climatised museums, and lots more. But every travel type is different, and everyone is seeking something fitting. So, what Summer-Type are you? Find your travel personality and the perfect European destination to match.

 The Relax Beach Type

Are you craving sunshine, sand between your toes, and the sound of the waves? Then you are the beach Summer-Type!
Your holiday is about relaxing, maybe reading that book you have meant to read since the beginning of the year, maybe sipping a cocktail at the beach bar, but nothing stressful. Luxury for you is the sun, the chill, and the turquoise water. The only thing you need to worry about is whether you have enough sunscreen packed.

Perfect destinations:

• The Croatian Coast: Clear Adriatic waters, historic towns like Split and Dubrovnik, plus islands like Hvar for relaxing beach days.
• Italy: From Amalfi’s cliffs to Sardinia’s sands and Sicily’s charm, perfect for sun, sea, and on top: amazing food.
• France: You can choose between Chic Côte d’Azur, wild Corsica, or Biarritz’s surf scene.

The Nature / Adventure Type

Does summer mean you are active, moving your body and getting your heart rate up? Sounds like the Nature Summer-Type. In that case, Europe offers a lot for you, high mountains to climb on, wide forests to hike through, or blue lakes to kayak on.

Perfect destinations:

• Interlaken, Switzerland: Paragliding, hiking, and the breathtaking views of the Alps.
• Slovenian Alps & Lake Bled: picture-perfect nature with opportunities for hiking, rafting, and canyoning.
• Ötztal, Austria: Rafting, canyoning, hiking, and biking in the alpine landscapes. It is truly Austria’s ultimate adventure playground.

The Culture Summer-Type

You are the cultural summer vacation type, if you are fascinated by history, art, architecture, and everything local. This means your itinerary is packed with museums, ancient ruins, and the local street art festival. You love exploring the streets of cities, and when you find a little hidden gallery along the way, that’s the real highlight of the summer holiday.

Perfect destinations:

• Florence, Italy: Renaissance art, world-class museums, and mouthwatering Tuscan cuisine.
• Berlin, Germany: Everywhere is history, one museum next to another combined with interesting city districts to explore.
• Prague, Czech Republic: Gothic cathedrals, classical concerts, and old-world charm.

Do you see yourself as one of these types? Or would you rather have a bit of everything? The beauty of Europe is that it’s easy to combine different experiences. Distances are short, often a train ride or a short flight can take you from seaside to mountain adventure and next to a cultural deep dive.
