Are you still looking for some interesting ideas for a trip this summer? Today we propose 3 green routes in Europe: in Cornwall, Portugal and the Czech Republic.

Summer is in full swing, but you are still undecided about the destination of your vacation: a journey into nature or a trip to the main European capitals? Choosing is never easy, but above all, it is not mandatory and we demonstrate it by proposing three green routes in Europe. If you are up for a few days of wonderful landscapes without giving up the beauty and energy of the most enchanting cities in Europe, here is something that suits you.

From Prague to Dresden on the Elbe Bike Path

For those undecided between nature and European capitals, this is definitely the perfect trip:five easy stages by bike between two magnificent citiesfollowing the Elbe bike path, among the most beautiful in Europe.

You start from Prague, often compared to Paris for its beauty and charm and with the Elbe river to guide you, you cross the gentle hills of Bohemia, the hop cultivations in the Czech Republic and the landscapes of Saxon Switzerland until you reach Dresden, a small jewel nestled in the heart of Saxony. Among the things not to miss once you have arrived in the city: the Royal Palace, the Church of Our Lady, the Art Gallery and the colorful New City, where you can stroll among the craft ateliers, outdoor bistros, charming courtyards, and small green spaces.

In Portugal in the ancient region of Minho

The Alto Minho is the only one among the Portuguese regions to have obtained the certification of the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism. Here, the natural beauty is carefully guarded by the local residents, as well as the culture. After all, it is right here that the kingdom of Portugal was born.

Plan your arrival in the city of Porto, which will conquer you with its historic center, wines, food, clubs and start your bike trip directly from the National Park of Gerês and Serra da Peneda, where you will pedal through the countryside, with vast vineyards and small villages where time seems to have stopped. Following the course of the Minho, you reach the Atlantic Ocean, but not before you have explored the vineyards and savored the different aromas of the typical vinho verde. The final stop will be on quiet bike paths along the coast, ideal for discovering the secrets of the fishermen you will meet in the coastal villages.

By bike on the magical cliffs of Cornwall

Exotic gardens, small deserted bays and heaths overlooking the ocean make Cornwall the most beloved green destination in Great Britain. To enjoy a vacation in close contact with a fascinating and wild nature, without neglecting the cultural aspects, you can start your journey from Truro, the main city of Cornwall to be discovered by strolling around the Georgian style buildings along the cobblestone streets of the center and the beautiful green spaces. With a one-week loop itinerary, you can reach by bike the Lizard Peninsula, the southernmost point of the British mainland, and then return to the starting point by pedaling among beautiful beaches, cliffs, caves, islands, and sandy dunes.

The best time to go is between March and July, when the heaths above the cliffs are filled with flowering rhododendrons.
