At Footballtravel.com, we offer football packages to the best European tournaments. The Champions League is undoubtedly the biggest tournament in Europe, and every club would love to be crowned as Europe’s best. However, it is often only the big teams that win the Champions League and Europa League, but now UEFA has created the new European tournament, the Europa Conference League. In the Europa Conference League, smaller teams like West Ham , Fiorentina, OGC Nice, and many others also have the opportunity to win a European trophy.

A football trip to the Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference League is a journey that most football fans will not forget.

The Champions League is considered the best European tournament, which only the best clubs win. Over the years, clubs like Real Madrid , FC Barcelona , and Bayern Munich have won the tournament year after year. Rarely does a small team win the Champions League. The last time was in 2004 when Jose Mourinho led a young FC Porto to a Champions League title. This year, the Champions League looks better than ever before. The Italian clubs have surprised everyone, and with one Italian team guaranteed in the Champions League final, there is a chance that the Champions League trophy will return to Italy after a 12-year absence. Manchester City looks dangerous, and with Erling Haaland as striker, Manchester City are big favorites to win the Champions League, and this year is their best chance to win their first Champions League title. Finally, we have the Champions League giants, Real Madrid. No matter how bad they play in La Liga , they are favorites in the Champions League.

Although the Europa League cannot match the Champions League, you can still find a wealth of good European teams in the tournament. It is also in the Europa League that small teams often make themselves heard – in a good way, that is. In 2020, FC Copenhagen participated in the quarter-finals against the big club Manchester United , where unfortunately they lost in extra time. In this year’s Europa League, we had several top teams. Teams like FC Barcelona, Manchester United, Arsenal , and Juventus have all been in this year’s Europa League.

The Europa Conference League is a brand new tournament that started in 2021. In the tournament’s first round last year, Jose Mourinho led AS Roma to their first-ever European trophy.

For your next football trip in Europe, we have selected a range of hotels. Our selected hotels are always centrally located in the city. So you are sure to be where it happens. The hotels we show for the particular match are the hotels that are available right now, and you always get exactly the hotel you book. If you have preferences for a specific hotel that you cannot find, please contact us!

The activities are always fun and you are constantly moving and busy so there is never a dull moment. I’ve been to camps in Walsrode, Newcastle and Bath and all were very different! Meeting kids from all over Europe is fantastic and probably one of my favourite parts of camp.

The 20 best European destinations if you like to walk

Posted: December 30, 2023 | Last updated: December 31, 2023

If you or someone you know has ever taken a trip to Europe, one of the first things they’ll tell you is how much walking they did. European cities are much more pedestrian-friendly than most American counterparts. You’ll clock several miles just by hitting the main sights. Additionally, there are plenty of countryside and hiking destinations waiting to be explored on foot. Here are 20 of the best!

London, United Kingdom

Since London is one of the biggest cities in Europe, you might not think that the metropolis would be very walkable. However, it’s frequently cited as a great place to stroll around. You’ll be so busy taking in the English grandeur and catching glimpses of Big Ben that you won’t even notice how high your step count is until you take a rest at the pub!

The French Alps

The Alps are definitely more of a hiking than a walking destination, but with sweeping mountain and lake views, you won’t want to do much else! Base yourself in Grenoble, Annecy, or Chamonix, and enjoy trails that start right from town.

Follow us on MSN to see more of our exclusive lifestyle content.

Cinque Terre, Italy

Cinque Terre is known for brightly colored buildings built into the cliffsides. And while each town is a virtual rainbow dotting the seaside, there’s a better way to enjoy the area than sitting in traffic in a car or bus. Instead, take the many walking paths that connect the towns. Ideally, you’ll base yourself in one of the villages and enjoy hikes along the Mediterranean while visiting others.

Paris, France

Another large European capital with decent public transportation, it may seem silly to walk all over Paris. Au contraire, your own two feet are the best way to see the City of Light. You can wander along the Seine, crisscross the water with the many bridges, and dip into the 20 diverse arrondissements (neighborhoods.) All while frequently enjoying unbeatable views of the Eiffel Tower, L’Arc de Triomphe, and the ornate Parisian buildings.

The Cotswolds, United Kingdom

If one region on this list is known for walking, it’s the Cotswolds. Well-trodden walking paths connect the numerous villages in the west of England. You can choose a single base and enjoy walking the English countryside to different adorable towns!

High Tatra, Slovakia

Slovakia isn’t well known by any means, but this country nestled between Hungary, Poland, Austria, and Czechia is a fantastic place to trek, particularly in the Tatras Mountains in the northeast. Travelers will enjoy trails that rival those in the Alps but for a much more affordable price.

Meteora, Greece

A Greek holiday typically involves taking ferries to the islands, where you don’t do much but enjoy the beach and amazing food. Meteroa, roughly a five-and-a-half-hour train ride from Athens, challenges this assumption greatly. Here, you’ll be nestled among mountain villages and paths that connect the six monasteries atop the peaks. Spend a few days or a week exploring the views and sites on foot!

Basque Country, Spain

This unique part of the country has spectacular natural beauty. It's famously home to the Camino de Santiago, the ancient pilgrimage walk that numerous travelers now partake in every year. The full route includes sections in Portugal and France, but the best views are in Spain!

Haute Route, Switzerland

Honestly, the entire country of Switzerland is any hiker’s paradise, but if you only have time for one trail, head to Zermatt. This is where the stunning Haute Route through the Swiss Alps starts, ending in Chamonix, France. The 132-mile trek isn’t for beginners, but you’ll be rewarded with Matterhorn views and uncrowded trails.

Lake Constance, Germany

The lake technically spans Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Liechtenstein. Complete walking routes in each country or take one that crosses a border or two. One of the most beautiful lakes on the continent, there are numerous routes to choose from! 

South Coast of Iceland

Iceland is another country that could be listed as a great place to walk on the whole, however, for ease of access and proximity of sites. The trails aren’t too far apart, and in general, you’ll never be far from a waterfall, canyon, beach, or glacier.

Venice, Italy

Okay, a trip to Venice likely conjures up visions of gondola rides on the water. And you should definitely see the city that way. However, it’s also a great place to walk.

Julian Alps, Slovenia

You’ve heard of the French Alps, the Swiss Alps, and the Bavarian Alps. Well, where exactly are the ‘Julian’ Alps? The beautiful gem that is Slovenia! The first Balkan country to join the EU is home to stunning peaks that are just waiting to be discovered by travelers. And you won’t pay Swiss or French prices and have fewer crowds to deal with!

Munich, Germany

The biggest city in Bavaria is a sprawling center of grandeur and parks. Thus, there’s no better way to explore than by foot. Additionally, there are a bunch of museums, all of which are must-visits. Plan a cultural weekend that also has a bit of exercise in Munich!

Lisbon, Portugal

Famously hilly Lisbon (like San Fransisco) isn’t the place to expect a leisurely stroll. However, if you’re up for some “urban hiking,” you’ll get a great workout while passing the street cars.

Riga, Latvia

The gorgeous Daugava River runs through the beautiful colored buildings of Riga, inviting you to amble for hours. And as a lesser-known destination, you want to be rubbing elbows with hordes of other American tourists, making for a much more enjoyable trip.

Stockholm, Sweden

Unless you really like frigid walks and bundling up, it’s most advisable to visit Stockholm in the summer months. Then, you can make the most out of rambling around the Scandinavian city in the sun and enjoying fika (Swedish coffee break) afterward.

Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina

Sarajevo isn’t so large that enjoying a walking tour is out of the question. However, the best way to use your feet in the area is by hiking up one of the many paths from the city center into the surrounding hills for fantastic vantage points. Alternatively, take the chairlift up and wander back down the old bobsled run from the 1984 Winter Olympics.

Prague, Czechia

While Paris might be a more obvious choice for a walking city, Prague is actually much larger in square miles. In fact, it’s four times as large, with about half the inhabitants. Thus, there’s plenty of room to wander and appreciate the lovely architecture in Prague. Additionally, there are trails in and around the urban center if you want a taste of nature. And, of course, fantastic hiking is never far away.

Wild Atlantic Way, Ireland

The Wild Atlantic Way is one of the best and most rugged walking paths in all of Europe. At 1,600 miles, it’s no surprise that it’s considered one of the longest-marked paths in the world. Located on Ireland’s West Coast, no matter what short section you choose to complete, you’ll have once-in-a-lifetime views of the Atlantic Ocean and Irish countryside for the duration.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Who designed the Champions League logo and why did he choose the stars?

Europe’s top competition is generally accepted as the cream of the crop when it comes to club soccer, and someone had to create the logo..

The Champions League logo is one of the most iconic in the world of football, yet few people know its origins. Phil Clements, designer and founder of the agency Design Bridge , conceived the logo in 1992 for the European Cup, which sought to rejuvenate itself after years of controversies.

His proposal was among the final 50 projects from which UEFA had to choose. “They hung all the options on the wall and chose mine,” declared Clements.

Guess the winner of each knockout tie 👀 Crown your overall winners ⬇️ #UCLdraw | #UCLbracket — UEFA Champions League (@ChampionsLeague) April 8, 2024

Why are there eight Champions League stars?

Initially, the competition was to have a league format and culminate with eight teams competing in knockout rounds until only one remained. For this reason, Clements included eight stars in his proposal, one for each team reaching the final round. The influence of the design was such that the stars were imprinted on the ball for that same season, although UEFA was initially unconvinced.

Despite Phil Clements’ significant impact on the history of Europe’s premier competition, the English designer hasn’t attended many matches.

“I wasn’t invited to the first games; they were all big shots, and the small, humble designer took a back seat,” he confessed. However, he realised he had never seen his design live and so attended the 2003 final at Old Trafford. “I was surprised; they mowed the grass following the pattern of my design .”

pic.twitter.com/k7Foeixwav — UEFA Champions League (@ChampionsLeague) April 5, 2024

The project he presented to UEFA, despite becoming the official one, didn’t significantly change Clements’ life, as he continued to focus on his business. In 2013, he founded Smart & Gifted , a company aiming to promote local gifts and souvenirs.

Latest Chelsea news as Mauricio Pochettino's squad travel to Sheffield United on Sunday to continue the hunt for European qualification

• 05:30, 7 APR 2024

Sign up to the free Chelsea newsletter for the latest Blues news straight to your inbox

We have more newsletters

Chelsea are hoping to make it back-to-back victories when they play 20th-placed Sheffield United this Sunday afternoon.

Mauricio Pochettino takes his team to South Yorkshire with a fresh wave of confidence following Thursday's last-gasp win against Manchester United. The Red Devils were leading 3-2 up until the ninth minute of injury time, though Cole Palmer completed his hat-trick to win the match for Chelsea in the dying embers.

The result elevated the Blues to 10th in the Premier League standings and with nine fixtures remaining has blown open the race to play in UEFA competition next campaign.

Aston Villa and Tottenham are vying for the last Champions League place with the loser of that battle destined to qualify for the Europa League in fifth. Manchester United then occupy sixth on 48 points, therefore there is only a five-point gap between Chelsea and UEFA's secondary competition.

Seventh place also guarantees Europa Conference League football, with West Ham on 45 points sitting in that position as it stands. In between the Hammers and Chelsea are Newcastle and Brighton, so the fight will likely go down to the wire.

Victory over the league's team in dead last, Sheffield United, is one they cannot afford to slip up on. Chris Wilder's side were defeated 3-1 by Liverpool on Thursday evening, extending their winless streak to six matches.

When does Sheffield United vs Chelsea kick off?

The game kicks off at Bramall Lane at 5.30pm on Sunday, April 7. This is an unorthodox start time for a Premier League match on a Sunday, and there is an explanation.

The Sheffield Half Marathon is scheduled to take place this Sunday afternoon with those partaking in the event set to run past the Blades' stadium. The Premier League announced in a statement that it had received a request from Sheffield United to have the kick-off time of the Chelsea fixture rearranged to ease congestion around the two events, and worked with stakeholders to organise a suitable slot that will allow travelling supporters to make their way home safely and in a timely manner after the final whistle.

No, despite taking place on a Sunday with no blackout law standing in the way, Chelsea's next match will not be broadcast live for supporters in the UK.

Even at its original 1.30pm kick-off slot on the same day, the match was never originally chosen for broadcast so cannot retrospectively be picked up. Instead, Sky Sports will be showing Manchester United vs Liverpool (KO 3.30pm) and Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest (KO 6pm).

How else can Sheffield United vs Chelsea be followed?

You can follow all the action with football.london's Chelsea correspondent Bobby Vincent reporting live from Bramall Lane. He will be providing pre-match build-up, team news, live match updates and post-match reaction.

There will also be highlights available on Sky Sports' YouTube channel shortly after the final whistle, as well as extended highlights and analysis from pundits on BBC's Match of the Day 2, which starts at 10.30pm on BBC One on Sunday.

Before Arsenal trip, Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel at a loss to explain team’s latest collapse

HEIDENHEIM, Germany (AP) — Arsenal, take note.

Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel was unable to explain his team’s collapse against promoted Heidenheim in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Bayern was leading 2-0 at the break after goals from Harry Kane and Serge Gnabry, then conceded three in the second half to lose 3-2 for its second consecutive Bundesliga defeat.

Tuchel, whose team next visits Arsenal for the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal on Tuesday, had no explanation.

“In the first 15 minutes of the second half, we gave away everything we had built up. Within the first minute, we actually completely stopped playing soccer and doing everything we’d done in the first half,” Tuchel said.

The Bayern coach said he warned his players during the interval that Heidenheim could change style and play with two forwards “because I would have done that,” and because Heidenheim had played like that before.

Kevin Sessa pulled one back for Heidenheim and Tim Kleindienst equalized a minute after that. Kleindienst scored the winner in the 79th for the promoted team’s first ever win over Bayern, which is 16 points behind Bundesliga leader Bayer Leverkusen with six rounds remaining.

“It is obviously extremely difficult for us to maintain the concentration level and the level of fight with which we had fully deserved to lead up to then,” Tuchel said of the team’s collapse. “Yes, that’s hard to explain. I can describe it to you. Explaining it is difficult.”

Arsenal is unbeaten in its last seven games and has won six of those.

Six South American stars who could transfer to Europe next

Rodrigo Faez analyses Endrick's spot at number 20 on ESPN FC's 39 best male players under 21. (1:39)

Europe had its first look at Palmeiras ' and Brazil 's Endrick during the FIFA dates and liked what it saw, with well-taken goals against both England and Spain . In the summer, of course, he moves to Real Madrid , and Europe can enjoy him every week.

Along with him, there were other South Americans who crossed the Atlantic to represent their national teams. A few have caught the eye, and may well be nurturing hopes of earning a move to a top European club.

- Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, more (U.S.)

Jhon Arias , 26, MF, Fluminense / Colombia

Head of the list is Arias, who played in his side's wins over Spain and Romania , scoring in the latter. It is perhaps surprising that he is still in South America, where he was the outstanding player last year with Fluminense of Brazil, the current continental champions. Manchester City comprehensively outgunned the side in the final of the FIFA Club World Cup , but Arias was outstanding in a losing cause, carrying the fight to his illustrious opponents.

What makes Arias especially interesting is his versatility. He can operate in either the midfield or front trio of a 4-3-3, as a winger, or tucked in as an all-round, attack-minded midfielder. A squat little figure, he is strong on the ball, excellent on the turn, combines well, runs at the defense, and well-able to score goals as well as set them up.

Perhaps his age counts against him. Now 26, he was plucked by Fluminense from relative obscurity in Colombian football. But he is now at his peak, and his recent displays for Colombia have boosted his confidence and allowed him to believe that he is not out of place among the elite.

Richard Ríos , 23, MF, Palmeiras / Colombia

Another Brazil-based Colombian taking rapid strides is the midfielder with an interesting backstory. Ríos was a futsal player and was discovered by Flamengo of Rio while playing in an international tournament. They moved him to the 11-a-side game, and loaned him to Mexico, where his progress was interrupted by injury.

Frustrated at lack of opportunities on his return to Brazil, he ripped up his contract with Flamengo and went to join Guarani , a traditional team from the state of São Paulo that had fallen on hard times. He stood out for them in the regional championship at the start of last year and was picked up by local giants Palmeiras where, thrown in at the deep end, he played an important role in the club winning the Brazilian Serie A .

At the unlikely age of 23, he was a strong candidate to be the revelation of the season and forced his way into the national team. These two matches were by far his best in a Colombia shirt. He came on at halftime against Spain and, operating wide on the right, got a grip on dangerous left-back Alejandro Grimaldo . He played the full 90 against Romania, setting up the goal for Arias with a cross from the right, and also tucking in and holding the center. Long-legged and dynamic, he looks to have a interesting future.

Bento , 24, GK, Athletico Paranaense / Brazil

Injuries to both Alisson and Ederson forced Brazil to play a rookie keeper in high-pressure games against England and Spain, and Bento came through the ordeal exceptionally well. Brazil has become a breeding ground for goalkeepers, and Athletico Paranaense can boast an especially impressive record. Their latest product, 24-year-old Bento, is tall, athletic, solid and sensible.

Against England he could perhaps have been criticized for not coming off his line enough to deal with crosses, but at least his option to stay on his line was decisive. However, against Spain, he had multiple opportunities to show off his virtues as a shot-stopper, producing a sequence of reflex saves and keeping his side in the game at times when they were in danger of being over-run.

Athletico were already counting on moving on Bento soon. Doing so well for the national team has certainly bumped up the fee.

Fabrício Bruno , 28, CB, Flamengo / Brazil

In front of Bento, the center-back Bruno also made a sound start to his international career. At the age of 28, his options are limited, but it seems that Marseille are interested in signing him from Flamengo of Brazil.

Not particularly elegant or talented on the ball, Bruno stands out for his combination of size and speed. He is a hulking figure who is quick across the ground, and he earned special praise from Luis Suárez after the great Uruguayan striker came up against him during last year's spell with Grěmio . The three times that Spain scored on Tuesday were the first goals that a team containing Bruno had conceded this year.

Luciano Rodríguez , 20, FW, Liverpool / Uruguay

Rodríguez only had a couple of minutes on as a substitute at the end of Uruguay's 2-1 loss to the Ivory Coast , but he had played all of the officially unrecognized game against the Basque Country a few days earlier, and there will surely be plenty more from him in the sky blue shirt.

The nickname of "The Uruguayan Mbappé" is a stretch, but the powerful striker was the star man in last year's World Cup-winning Uruguay Under-20 team, claiming the winning goal in the final against Italy . Incredibly strong, Rodríguez can play in wide spaces but also has the intricacy to operate through the center.

For a player who spent 2022 in the Uruguayan second division, he is making remarkable progress; last year he also helped little Montevideo club Liverpool to their first national title. The City Group are interested, but they should face plenty of competition in the summer.

James Rodríguez , 32, AM, São Paulo / Colombia

Maybe European club football -- and in particular LaLiga -- has not seen the last of the Colombian. A decade after his star performances in the 2014 World Cup , Rodríguez is currently to be found in Brazil, where his relationship with São Paulo has not been an easy one.

Frustrated with a lack of opportunities, earlier this year he even considered tearing up his contract. His form for Colombia, meanwhile, has been magisterial. His appearance at halftime changed the game against Spain last week, and he orchestrated the play from deep in fine style against Romania. Asked about his future, he made no effort to hide a desire to return to Spain, and so, even at the age of 32, there could be more European adventures in the nomadic career of Rodríguez.
