Asked Questions

What is the best time of year to visit Europe?

The truth is — there’s no single “best time” to visit Europe, because it depends on the kind of experience you’re looking for! 🌍

  • Spring (April–June): Blooming gardens, pleasant weather, and fewer crowds make this a favorite for sightseeing.

  • Summer (July–August): Perfect for festivals, beaches, and long sunny days — though it’s also the busiest (and warmest) season.

  • Fall (September–October): Mild weather, vibrant autumn colors, and harvest festivals create an ideal backdrop for cultural trips.

  • Winter (November–March): A magical time for Christmas markets, skiing in the Alps, or exploring famous cities with fewer tourists.

At Pinnacle Travel Group, we’ll help match your travel style and interests with the perfect time to go — so your European adventure is everything you’ve imagined.

Do I need a visa to travel to Europe?

For many U.S. passport holders, short trips (up to 90 days) to most European countries do not require a visa — you can travel freely for tourism or business within the Schengen Zone. However, starting in 2025, U.S. citizens will need to obtain an ETIAS travel authorization before entering. This isn’t a visa, but a quick online registration required prior to your trip.

If you’re traveling for longer stays, work, or study, visa requirements will vary by country. At Pinnacle Travel Group, we stay up-to-date on the latest entry rules and will guide you through any necessary steps so your journey is smooth and stress-free.

How many countries can I visit on one trip?

That’s the beauty of international travel — you can often see several countries in just one journey! 🌍 In regions like Europe, borders are close together and transportation is easy, so you might enjoy breakfast in Paris, dinner in Rome, and a weekend in Barcelona — all in the same trip.

The right number of countries depends on your time, budget, and travel style. Some travelers love a fast-paced itinerary with multiple stops, while others prefer to dive deep into just one or two destinations. At Pinnacle Travel Group, we’ll design a custom itinerary that balances your sense of adventure with the pace you’re most comfortable with.

Is travel insurance necessary?

While travel insurance isn’t always required, it’s highly recommended — and for good reason. ✈️ Unexpected events like flight delays, lost luggage, medical emergencies, or trip cancellations can quickly turn a dream vacation into a costly headache.

With the right coverage, you gain peace of mind knowing you’re protected no matter what happens along the way. At Pinnacle Travel Group, we’ll walk you through your options and help you choose the plan that best fits your trip, budget, and comfort level — so you can focus on enjoying the journey.
