Slovenia Picturesque and friendly nations in both Eastern and Western Europe are great places to enjoy sightseeing; however, an investigation of one of Europe’s centrally located gems should be included in any Eurail vacation as well.

There is also the Mediterranean Sea, just in case everything else wasn’t enough. Slovenia is a paradise for those who enjoy the outdoors. There are also many small cities and villages throughout the landscape, and make interesting destinations for anybody seeking cultural experiences. Its capitol Ljubljana is known for its Baroque and Art Nouveau monuments, and provides many significant artistic and other attractions.

Finland

Finland can provide a true haven for tourists in Northern Europe. As a nation it is decidedly modern, with well planned cities and small towns. This makes the nation extremely accessible, and simplifies the travelling process greatly. That, however, is not the only aspect which makes Finland worth visiting; it just makes it much more attractive. Among the things to see in Finland are the northern lights in winter and the midnight sun in summer. The country stretches far enough North that these phenomena are possible to experience firsthand. Another major natural attraction is the nation’s many lakes. Boasting roughly 188,000 lakes, with plenty of corresponding islands, the country is a great place for people who enjoy water sports. It also offers vast expanses of nature outside of its modern cities that have been preserved. This combination of urban and wilderness make Finland a vibrant and diverse place to visit for any Eurail vacationer.
