Cinematic vistas and emerald-green wild landscapes extend far into the distance across Scotland, while farther south in Europe, the glistening seas of the North Atlantic Ocean and the sweeping caramel-colored coastlines of Portugal and Spain enhance the continent’s natural beauty. Whether you prefer to relax or explore — or plan a mixture of the two — there is plenty to do and see throughout these European regions. Visit ancient castles and monumental buildings steeped in history, hike or bike in the mountainous countryside, find the most unique souvenirs, take advantage of Europe’s diverse culinary delights, and simply relax beachside.
