Let’s go slow, real slow. Swap your planes for trains, choose two wheels over four, or drop the wheels entirely and strike out on your own two feet; that’s what Slow Travel is all about. Escape from the hurried state of real-life and sink into a wonderfully relaxed state of mind - where every moment is unhurried and purposeful - and don’t be alarmed when you ask yourself, ‘why have I never travelled like this before?’. Slow Travel is having a moment right now and we are pretty sure it will be a long-lived moment, here are some of the best ways to go slow when in Europe.
