Europe Travel Tips
A Potpourri Of Travel Ideas To Share

COVID slowed us down for a couple of years, and now a few health issues challenge us.  We're still traveling if not writing about it quite so much. Our goal in 2022 was get to all seven continents in one year... and we did it.

Going forward health issues may not allow us to travel.  No one can take away those memories though.  We hope all of you are well and staying safe... and that you find some inspiration here for YOUR future travels. 

We have fun sharing all of our travel tips. 

Europe Travel Tips is will give you destination highlights to countries and cities we've visited.

We love to travel everywhere, so it's hard to concentrate on any one area of the world.


MouseTours Travels started as a way for us to share our international travel tips and write about our travels.

It's a fun way to share our adventures.  I love writing...

It creates great memories for us...

And it it's all easy to share them with you thanks to SBI.


Europe Travel Tips Takes You To More Ideas

We've been lucky enough to travel all over the world.  I guess you could say we've been scattered in our travels...

And in the same spirit, we haven't concentrated on any one travel topic in this website. 

This page is to try and help you find ideas for European trips by reading about some of the fun things we've seen and done.

We'll try to keep them grouped in categories here, so you can find the international travel tip for the destination that you need at the moment.

Europe travel tips are grouped by country.

Check Your First Trip to Europe and World Travel Tips for tips on trip planning, flights, airports and security, eco-travel and budget travel tips.

You'll find information on travel health, hotels, and all kinds of miscellaneous topics.

Timely Tips

Summer Vacation
Travel is fun in the Northern summer... but don't neglect the Southern Hemisphere at this time of year.
Yes, it's winter in South Africa, but that's their dry season. It's a good time to travel there.
