TOP 10 Europe Travels for Mother's Day in 2023

#10 Provence, France

Provence is gorgeous all year, but the ideal time to visit is between June and July when the lavender fields are in flower. The Luberon and Verdon districts have the most stunning lavender fields.

Aside from the iconic lavender fields, Provence is full of attractive villages and cities steeped in history, such as Aix-en-Provence and Avignon.

#9 Lake Como, Italy

Head to Lake Como in Italy for a genuinely luxurious Mother's Day holiday. This picturesque alpine lake, about two hours north of Milan, is famed for its colorful resort villages, majestic homes, and lovely gardens. It's even the location of George Clooney's second house!

#8 The Cotswolds, England

The Cotswolds is an area in England noted for its quaint tiny villages, magnificent castles and country estates, and lush green landscape, located two to three hours from London. Rent a car and tour the Cotswolds' greatest villages, including Painswick, Chipping Campden, Bibury, and Castle Combe, for a delightful Mother's Day weekend.

#7 Danube River Cruise

#6 Lisbon, Portugal

Head to the picturesque seaside city of Lisbon, Portugal, for a laid-back European escape. Lisbon is well-known for its steep streets, pastel-colored architecture, and excellent music and cuisine. It is also far less expensive than nearby Western European towns, making it an ideal budget vacation option.

#5 Paris, France

Paris is the ultimate Mother's Day getaway. Visit Angelina for hot chocolate and pastries, the Louvre and Musée d'Orsay for world-class art, the Rue Saint-Honoré and Le Marais for the most fabulous shopping, and the former artists' enclave of the Left Bank.

Of course, no vacation to Paris is complete without seeing the Eiffel Tower, the Jardin du Luxembourg, or Montmartre's Sacré-Coeur. Day visits to Versailles and Monet's Giverny are certainly worthwhile additions to your Paris itinerary!
