1 . Four European Festivals You Don’t Want to Miss in 2023
Festival of Lights, Lyon
First held in 1643, the Festival of Lights lasts four days in December, which shows respect for the Virgin Mary. The festival s most exciting part is the lighting up of the Basilica of Fourviere in different colors. The evening light show at the Place des Terreaux is also not to be missed. If you decide to visit it, just be prepared for the crowds, as it is said that up to four million people attend.
Choregies d’Orange
Dating back to 1869, the Choregies d’Orange is the place to be if you love opera and classical music. It takes place every July in a beautifully preserved Roman Theatre in Orange. Almost 9 ,000 spectators (观众) come to the ancient theater. They also get to enjoy the exceptional natural acoustics(音响效果)，created by the theater’ s original stone stage wall.
La Fete de la Musique
There’s music in the air throughout France on 21 June. This is when La Fete de la Musique takes place. The first all-day musical celebration was first held in Paris in 1982 but later became celebrated in 120 countries around the world. During the festival, thousands of musicians gather in the streets, bars and cafes giving free public performances.
Berck-sur-Mer Festival
In 1987, kite addicts decided to get together on the beach of Berck-sur-Mer to fly their“curious cloth birds”. Taking place every April, the festival sees giant dragons, whales and various cartoon characters in the skies over the sandy beach.

European cycling holidays provide some of the best experiences you can have on two wheels. Come and join us!
Girona, Spain
Girona is surrounded by wonderful and easily accessible cycle routes that pretty much offer any riding you would ever need or want. The traffic-free roads mean that there is little trouble in getting out of the town and into the hills. Girona’s old town itself is a beauty and with plenty of places serving great food and great coffee, there’s a certain magic to the place.
Algarve, Portugal
Portugal is a cycling destination that has grown very popular thanks to the large variety of roads in the country. Not only are there plenty of climbs but also a lot of rolling roads to test yourself on. The terrain is similar to what you’ll find in the most popular cycling regions, but Portugal just feels little bit less mainstream. Away from the bike, there is also plenty of tasty food and local wines to try.
Northern Scotland, UK
One of the best places to tour in all of Europe is in fact Scotland. Particularly adventurous cyclists can take advantage of Scotland’s rules on wild camping— Scottish law allows members of the public the right to roam, while English law does not. It’s a totally free way to explore a place and Scotland might just be one of the best ones to do it because of the beautiful scenery.
Julian Alps, Slovenia
Slovenia is quite new when it comes to comparing with other European cycling destinations. A great destination for mountain bikers and road cyclists as well, the country has plenty of off-road routes and roads that take you high up into the Julian Alps. It’s no surprise once you’ve come here you’ll find that the country does very well in producing world class bike racers.
