The Best Countries in Europe to Tour in a Van

by Auto Europe International Car Rental Broker

Europe is filled with beautiful places for you to travel to. 


Each European country has its own rhythms and cultural nuances that makes it different than the rest. 


The reality is that there’s no “wrong” place to visit in Europe, but some countries lend themselves to leisurely exploration than others, and that’s what we’re going to focus on today. 


If you’ve always dreamed of booking a rental and touring Europe in a van, we’ve rounded up the best countries to tour in this way, enjoying a leisurely pace and a fun atmosphere.

Best Countries in Europe to Tour in a Van

So, without further delay, here are our favorite countries you should visit in Europe:

1.       Italy

Visit ItalyItaly is a place everyone should have on their bucket list, and it’s a great place to hit the road and explore. 


This is because Italy never runs short of things to offer to tourists. From ancient ruins to modern cities, to alpine mountain passes and beaches, to historic museums and restaurants, you will find everything there. 


Within Italy, there are a number of cities you can visit. Rome, for example, is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the country. It has prominent historical sites and ruins. In once city you can dive into 2800 years of history. 


Venice is another great city to visit. There is just something about the vibes Venice gives with its gondoliers and world-renowned canals that makes it hard for people to resist visiting. The city almost seems like it sprang out of the ocean. What could be more romantic than this?

2.       Spain

Visit SpainNo one can ever run out of reasons to visit Spain


Just like Italy, Spain has a lot to offer too. It is a popular destination for its amazing weather and beautiful beaches, and it’s one of our favorite countries to tour in a car or van. However, there is more (a lot more) to love about Spain. 


Spain is well known for its food too! One of my favorite parts of traveling Europe is experiencing all of the different culinary offerings in each country and region. Who can ever say no to food? The best cities to visit in Spain (in my view) include Madrid and Barcelona


Madrid is a rather elegant city with beautiful architectural designs and gardens. It also serves as the home to The Prado, with works dating back as far as the 12th century.  


Barcelona, on the other hand, is a mixture of historical and modern sites. It is the second-largest city in Spain and also one of the most insta-worthy spots in Spain. With its bright places and intricate architecture, Barcelona truly makes tourists who visit plan a return trip.

3.       England

Visit EnglandEngland is one European nation that is flooded with history and glorious tourist destinations. 


It contains many popular destinations including Stonehenge and the Thames River, and landmarks like Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, the London Eye, and more. 


If you visit England, you will run short of time to explore it all. After all, there is too little time and too many places in England to tour, but driving the English countryside between cities can be just as fun as the cities themselves, which is why we included it as one of the best countries to explore by van


Some of the cities you should definitely put in your bucket list are Oxford, York, and London. You may recognize Oxford from the famous Oxford University. It was first established in the 12th century and its architecture still provides one of the most breathtaking views. Make sure you visit the university at least once in your life. 


York, just like Oxford, is a historical English city. It is filled with impressive architectural ruins. It contains a cathedral, the York Minster, dating back as far as the 8th century. 


London, on the other hand, is a modern city and the center of business, politics, and culture in England. It is almost impossible to keep up with the busy London life. Therefore, on your first visit, you might not get to experience it all. Make sure you return to visit the great destinations this city offers that you missed the first time around!
