| | You don’t have to decide between cultural treasures and coastal charm when you choose to explore the towns and cities along Europe’s often spectacular coastlines. There’s something relaxing about being by the water, with the chance to completely switch off and just enjoy the sea air. With these tours you can combine that relaxation with the chance to see some of Europe’s wonderful historic sights from royal palaces to Roman ruins. There are museums to explore and famous landmarks to discover, but when you’re by the sea, there’s always the chance to pause and just unwind. Is this the best of both worlds? | The Guardian Holidays team
