Visit Europe Guides - November 2023 Europe’s Sports Culture

Enliven your European adventure by enjoying your favorite sport or trying a new one while you’re on the road. It’s a wonderful way to meet locals, and exercise is a great antidote to input-overload from seeing so many new and interesting things. If you follow professional sports, go to a match and cheer for your team. You might like to follow in the footsteps of a European athlete you admire. Any time of year, whether at high altitude or the seaside, be it a water sport of a dry one, on a bike, a horse, a sled, or a boat, Europe has everything to offer when it comes to sports and athletics. Pack your gear – or rent it there, and plan for fun and games in Europe!
