What is the best time of year to travel to Europe?

Asked 7 months ago

Hey everybody, I want to book a trip to Europe but I'm not sure what's the best month to choose. I'd like to pick the best month to visit Europe to avoid large crowds, but I also want to have nice weather on my trip. So, which month is best for a trip to Europe?

The best month for you would be one of the "shoulder" months (April through June and September through October) that border the peak season. They have the advantages of decent weather, good daylight hours, no large crowds, and a local tourist industry that's still open and ready to serve tourists.

Do any websites offer cashback rewards for dining out while traveling?

I dine out a lot while traveling because it's just more convenient, so I thought I might as well get something out of it. Has anyone heard of any websites with cashback rewards for eating out? Any recommendations are appreciated.

Does Booking.com have "Secret Deals" or other promotional offers for traveling?

I know most similar platforms have some secret deals and ways to earn extra discounts when traveling frequently, which is why I was wondering if anybody here knows more about this website's promotional offers. Could I find coupons online, or is there anything special I'd need to do for better deals? For example, do they have a newsletter I could subscribe to that might offer some promo codes without spamming me to death? Thanks for any tips.

Have you ever used Hotels.com to book a vacation package with flights and car rental?

This might sound like an odd question to ask but basically, I want to go on a long trip on my own. My itinerary includes a short road trip, traveling by plane, and staying at a hotel. A whole package, pretty much. I was told that Hotels.com offers all that I need, but I want to ask if somebody has done something similar. How did it go? Did you have any issues booking all the things you needed? Do you think it is a good idea to book vacation packages with flights and car rentals from Hotels.com, or should I book everything separately instead?

Is there a rewards or loyalty program for frequent travelers on Booking.com?

I am very passionate about traveling - I go somewhere new at least once every few months. Of course, this isn't exactly cheap, which is why I'm always looking for additional ways to reduce my expenses. Basically, I am looking for an agency/company/platform that rewards its most loyal travelers. A coworker suggested I look into Booking.com, but I can't see much about rewards on their website. Could you tell me more about their loyalty reward system, assuming they do have one?

Do any travel insurance policies offer cashback for not filing a claim?

My travel insurance policy is pretty good, but I was thinking of switching it for one that offers cashback rewards for not claiming insurance. The thing is, I like the security of having travel insurance, but I haven't had any real need for using it so far. So, are there any policies that would let me get some money back for unclaimed travel insurance?

How does Hotels.com handle bookings for large groups or events?

Hello all. My fiancé and I have decided to have our wedding in Italy, and we want it to be a part of a big vacation that includes our loved ones as well. Altogether, there should be about 50 people or so. Needless to say, it's a huge event for us, and although some "surprises" are expected, we would still like everything to go as smoothly as possible. So, with all of that in mind, do you think organizing this event through Hotels.com is a good idea? Has anybody done anything similar? Do you have any helpful tips to share? Thank you.
