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.

Day 2: Belgium

The whole of Bruges is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is packed with centuries-old churches and houses. Spend the morning taking in the sights (and the renowned Belgian chocolate!) before making the short drive to Amsterdam.

Day 3: to The Netherlands

The only way to see Amsterdam is by bicycle. Hire one from your campsite and head into the city centre. Here you can visit the Van Gogh Museum, Anne Frank’s house or the Heineken brewery. Enjoy some of the city’s famous (or infamous) nightlife in the Leidseplein Square before heading back to your campsite.

Day 4: Amsterdam

Enjoy a relaxing boat trip on the canals then visit the Bloemenmarkt – Amsterdam’s floating flower market.
