Europe is magnificent at any
time of year, but distinct delights
await those who venture to the
Old World in the off-season. In
the weeks less travelled – from
December to mid-April – visitors
are rewarded with sparse crowds,
lower prices and a tempting
array of seasonal pleasures, from
therapeutic spa waters to fragrant
flower gardens in full bloom.
Here, explore just a few of the
grand and glorious highlights of
Europe's off-season.
