The great European road trip! So many countries, so much history, changes of culture and language from one hour to the next. How can you possibly cram it into 2 weeks you say? We have created a van tour in Europe if you are strapped for time but want to see as much as possible. You just need 2 weeks to see these highlights in Europe.
Your 2-week van tour in Europe
The start of any van tour is the planning stage. The itinerary below will show you where to go and what to do if you have 2 weeks to spend in Europe. As there is so much to do and see in Europe, spending more time on your van tour would be better, but hey if you only have 2 weeks you can still see a lot. Check it out.
Day 1: start of the 2-week van tour
Drive from London depot to Dover. Check out the stunning Dover castle before catching the ferry. Wave goodbye to the famous White Cliffs of Dover as you head across the English Channel to continental Europe. Once in France drive into Belgium and to the Instagram-perfect city of Bruges.
