Europe on Military Leave

Europe is one of the most accessible regions for military travelers stationed overseas or taking leave from the US. With Space-A hubs in Germany and the UK, and budget airlines like Ryanair and EasyJet, getting around is easier than you think.

Here are 10 must-see destinations for your next European adventure.

1. Prague, Czech Republic

Affordable, walkable, and absolutely stunning. Prague’s Old Town Square, Charles Bridge, and Prague Castle make it one of the best-value destinations in Europe.
