    Europe

    #Historic Sites, #Nightlife, #Museums
    To take a break from cultural sightseeing and blow off some steam, pick a few adventure activities in Europe. Nestled between two lakes, the Swiss town of Interlaken is a heaven for outdoor sports enthusiasts eager to skydive, paraglide, ski, and snowboard. If you prefer warm, Mediterranean sands to snowy Alpine scenery, join a guided excursion along Amalfi Coast. Northwestern Europe is also a great destination for adventures travelers--scuba diving tours from Reykjavik offer a glimpse of some of the deepest and most scenic underwater ravines in Iceland.
