Weekend Trips Across Europe
Weekend Trips from Athens: Islands, Ancient Sites, and Hidden Greece
Athens is one of Europe’s best-kept secrets as a travel base. The islands are close, the ancient sites are extraordinary, and most of Greece is reachable in a weekend. Here’s where teachers living in Athens actually go — from a hydrofoil to Hydra to a day trip to Delphi that will genuinely stop you in your tracks.
Weekend Trips from Split: Islands, National Parks, and the Adriatic Coast
Split is one of Europe’s best-kept secrets as a weekend travel base. The Adriatic islands are minutes away by ferry, Plitvice Lakes National Park is two hours inland, and the Dalmatian Coast stretches in both directions with towns most tourists never find. Here’s where teachers living in Split actually go on weekends.
The Best Weekend Trips from Barcelona
Barcelona is one of Europe’s best bases for weekend travel — and teachers living there know it. The Pyrenees are two hours north, the Costa Brava is an hour up the coast, and budget flights connect you to the rest of Europe for under €40. Here’s where to actually go on your weekends from Barcelona.
The Best Weekend Trips from Vienna for Teachers Abroad
Vienna is one of Europe’s most perfectly positioned teaching bases — and the weekend travel from there is exceptional. Prague is four hours by train, Budapest is two and a half, and Salzburg is under three. Here’s where teachers living in Vienna actually go when Friday afternoon hits.
