TRAVEL GUIDE: EUROPE
U.S. travelers frequently say "Europe" as though it were a homogenous mass. To a certain degree, there’s truth to it. Whether they inhabit colder northern regions, like Sweden or Germany, or live in vibrant Italy or Spain, Europeans do share a certain indulgent way of life. They take pleasure in wiling away an afternoon over a cappuccino, going for an evening stroll after work, shopping for hours at the local patisseries, butcher shops and vegetable grocers, and picking the choicest items at each stop. Europeans like to linger over a meal, and they do love to share their slower lifestyle with visitors. So whether you’re looking for paella in Valencia, glitz and glamour at the Côte d’Azur or enotecas in Tuscany, you’re certain to encounter a version of la dole vita—the good life.
