A new way to see the Cities of Europe.

Most people, when they think of Motorhome breaks, think of campsites and fields, a slower pace of life, often surrounded by beautiful countryside. And that’s great, we love to kick back and chill in a lovely campsite, but we also like to add other dimensions to our Motorhome tours. I’ve always enjoyed city breaks. I love exploring new architecture, eating new food and learning the history that has shaped a city, and even a wider country. I enjoy the hustle and bustle of other people going about their daily lives as I sit with a tea (or wine) watching the world go by. As our boys have grown we have used our motorhome as a base of some incredible European city breaks.

In the UK and Europe we tend to use 2 main apps to find our park ups and campsites. SearchforSites.co.uk is usually our first stop, and if that fails we will turn to Park4Night. 

Daytime Parking on the street.
It’s great to find city centre parking when we are visiting a city for a day. But it can be almost impossible to find somewhere safe and large enough for a motorhome. The beauty of travelling by motorhome is that you have all your possessions with you. The downside of travelling by motorhome is that if you are unlucky enough to be broken into, thieves have all your possessions to choose from! So selecting your safe
parking spot is very important.

Nighttime Street Parking.
As a family, we don’t really enjoy lay-by and street parking. We worry that it’s noisy, the vibrations of traffic shake our van and we aren’t exactly comfortable with the idea that people can be walking within a foot of our beds. None of these factors make for a great night's sleep, however, some locations are worth taking a chance on.
