Since Europe's time is 6 hours ahead of U.S. Eastern Standard Time (and 9 hours ahead of Pacific), remember that many live webcams will appear dark unless you view them during day-time local hours in Europe.
The best times to view live cams is between 6 AM - 7 PM European time, (12 midnight - 1 PM Eastern time and 9 PM - 10 AM Pacific time). You can view them later in the day in summer since Europe's daylight hours extend until 10 PM their time. Note that we are not visiting all these places this summer, but these locations have been included in our itineraries in the past.
Europe has been blanketed in snow this season, and it's beautiful to see! Click on the links below to see!
