Principles of Slow Travel

Important tips to help you arrange a respectful, immersive, and sustainable European vacation.

  • Choose Railways

    Prefer trains and regional rail passes over short-haul flights to lower your carbon footprint and enjoy panoramic alpine views.

  • Extended Stays

    Dedicate 4 to 5 days to each location. Staying longer in a town or valley helps you connect with local cafe owners and understand regional life.

  • Protect Monuments

    Avoid touching ancient carvings and paintings. Adhere to regulations in cathedrals, archeological ruins, and galleries to protect European heritage.

  • Eco-Etiquette

    Walk exclusively on marked trails in spots like the Black Forest or Alps. Protect local fauna and ensure you carry out all waste.
