Forget the long lines and expensive tickets of traditional European tourist sites. Authors and experienced hikers Cassandra Overby and Beth Jusino show you a better way to experience Europe's rich history and breathtaking landscapes--on foot. They'll introduce you to the variety of trails that crisscross Europe, from pilgrimage routes like the thousand-year-old Camino de Santiago to more modern history hikes like WWII's Omaha Beach to cultural treks like France's Alsace Wine Route. They'll give you their top tips for narrowing in on the walking holiday that's right for you, whether you want to walk for a day, a week, or longer. Whether you're a casual stroller looking for a more active way to travel or a hard-core hiker looking for a bucket-list-worthy alpine trek, they'll show you just how accessible and affordable a European walking holiday can be--and how to get started planning the cultural hike of a lifetime.


Cassandra Overby is a freelance travel and outdoors writer who loves combining her enthusiasm for foreign travel and hiking by encouraging people to explore the world on foot—and helping them do it. Learn more at explore-on-foot.com.

Beth Jusino is an active member of the American Pilgrims of the Camino and offers workshops and talks about the Way of Saint James as often as anyone lets her. She has returned to the Camino twice (so far); you can find photos and read much more about her Camino obsession at caminotimestwo.com.
