Cycling in Europe is fun. Bike rental shops, cycle maps, and advice abound. Designated cycle-walking paths are now significant in most towns and cities and often hook up to small farm roads, making Europe very popular with cycling folks of all levels of ability.

Signed trails, suitable for walkers of all ages, abilities, and energy, pass along gaspingly beautiful countryside. Cable cars whisk people up to spectacular high mountain walks, mountain bike trails, and inviting terrace cafes.

Paddling a canoe or kayak is a popular sport and a satisfying way to take in the scene, and rentals and shuttles are available in areas where the sport is popular.
