Dreaming of exploring Europe at your own pace? A long-stay vacation might be just what you need. For Canadians, there’s never been a better time to turn that dream into reality. Whether you're drawn to the sun-soaked coasts of Spain, the rolling hills of Tuscany, or the bustling cafés of Paris, an extended European escape this spring or fall delivers unbeatable value, comfort, and unforgettable moments.
Here’s why now is the ideal time to plan your European long stay.
🍂 Travel Smart: The Perks of Shoulder Season
Shoulder season—from late March to early May and again in September to October—offers savvy travelers a perfect window to enjoy Europe without the chaos (or cost) of high season.
💸 Lower Prices
Flights and accommodations are significantly more affordable, meaning your travel dollars go further and might even stretch to a room upgrade or extra excursion.
🚶♀️Fewer Crowds
Enjoy Europe’s icons without the lines. Picture strolling the streets of Paris or touring the Uffizi Gallery in Florence without the crowds.
🌤️ Milder Weather
Comfortable temperatures and longer daylight hours make spring and fall ideal for sightseeing, hiking, and outdoor dining.

Why Long Stays Are the Way to Go
Beyond value, long-stay travel gives you a chance to slow down, dive deeper, and live more like a local.
🌍 Authentic, Local Connections
Fewer tourists mean more meaningful interactions. Whether you’re shopping in Provence’s open-air markets or learning to make fresh pasta in Florence, you’ll experience Europe on a more personal level.
💙 Support the Communities You Visit
Travelling outside of peak season spreads tourism more evenly and helps local businesses thrive. This is something that benefits everyone.
