What do you want from a vacation, if not relaxation and inspiration? You may find them abundant when you take a different approach to Europe: adopt slow travel. Every country offers more unique, innovative, greener ways than ever to soak up culture and nature without noise and buzz. Hiking and cycling trails abound, and small, local communities have found ingenious, participatory ways to share their traditional cultures.  If you’re a thrill-seeker with a need for speed and “calm” sounds dull, how about having a gourmet meal served to you while you hang from a cliff? Would you like to recover from a tough hike with some forest foot reflexology? Have you ever learned to hear the music of the trees? Read your way around Europe in our new guides on slow travel and plan a trip at exactly the right pace for you!
