Slow Travel in Europe
Slow travel isn’t about how long you go for. It’s about how you use the time you have.
I don’t approach travel by trying to see everything, and I don’t abandon planning altogether either.
For me, slow travel sits in between.
It’s being selective about what matters to you, structuring your time around that, and leaving enough space in your days to actually experience where you are.
Over the years, travelling across Europe—and often returning to the same places—I’ve found that the difference between a trip that feels rushed and one that stays with you rarely comes down to time.
It comes down to how the trip is put together.
Slow travel, in practice, looks simple.
Choosing fewer places.
Staying long enough to settle into them.
Returning to places that feel familiar.
Spending time in ways that reflect the place you’re in, not just what’s easiest to plan.
It’s not about avoiding popular experiences. It’s about choosing them intentionally, and not letting them define your entire trip.
This is the approach I use when I travel, and the same thinking behind how I help others plan their trips. It’s also what I’ve developed further through my Unrushed Itinerary Method.
If you want to see how this looks in practice, Paris is where I return to most often. My eBook, Experience Paris: Finding the Joy of Slow Travel, is built around that experience.
