RICHMOND, Va. — For the fourth year in a row, U.S. summer travel to Europe will increase, according to new data from travel insurance and assistance company Allianz Partners USA’s Top Summer European Destinations Report In 2025, summer U.S. travel to Europe is expected to increase by 10%. London, England (#1), Paris, France (#2), and Dublin, Ireland (#3) continue to be the top European destinations for U.S. travelers*.
It’s not surprising that U.S. travelers continue to increase their European travel during the summer. Traveling far from home and out of the country can sometimes add an extra element of stress to your travel – you may not know where the nearest doctor is or where to replace essential items if your baggage is lost or delayed. Travel insurance helps to reduce some of the anxiety associated with transcontinental trips by covering losses that result from cancellations, interruptions or delays.

Lisbon, Portugal, (#9) returns to the top 10, replacing Athens, Greece. Rome, Italy (#4) is still at the top of the list, while Edinburgh, Scotland (#5) rounds out the top 5. Reykjyavik in Iceland is ranked #6, Barcelona, Spain, Amsterdam, Netherlands, and Nice are ranked #8.

* Methodology: The data of U.S. travelers’ 2025 Summer Travel plans was gathered by analyzing the number of customers that went through the online booking process of airfare and package paths for partners offering Allianz Global Assistance travel insurance, to generate itineraries for roundtrip flights departing from U.S. airports from 5/22/2024 –9/2/2024, for trips between 5 and 8 days in length. This method was used to analyze a total of just under 7M itinerary.
