Europe tours in January 2026

Picture this: you've just entered the Uffizi in Florence without a wait, you take a surprisingly crowd-free photo at Park Güell in Barcelona, and the bakery in Lisbon has more pastéis de nata available than you can eat in a sitting. No, it's not a fantasy; it's Europe in January. While you may not have warm days and blue skies like in the summertime, visiting Europe in the quiet off-season has some major perks of its own... think: all of the charm and culture and none of the pushing and shoving.
