The Alps is the name of the stunningly beautiful mountain range system of Europe. It stretches in the east - from Austria and Slovenia, as well as through Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Germany and Italy and to France in the west. There is a general division of the Alps -  the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps.

A question which of these 2 incredible pictures to take had been puzzling me for a couple of hours, before I decided to choose both of them and show your great contrasts of the magnificent Alps. 

The first picture shows nice color contrasts between the sky and the mountains. And it is the French Alps.

And the 2nd one shares with us beautiful countryside with gorgeous clouds and the sharp mountains.  It is the Swiss Alps. Both of them are so realistic!

While reading this article some people may think, that I’m a sclerotic or just don’t know what to write about… Oh, no! I just wanna tell one more story from my friend Masha (this time from Masha). Do you remember my post about “Where to rent a car in Europe?”, it was about a European trip of my friend. Now, I would like to share with you information about Masha’s (my friend in Europe trip to Spain, Italy, Switzerland and France).

I don’t know whether it is just a fortuity or she finally, deferred to my opinion, but while her trip, she commanded the services of car hire company, that I advised her to consult. She made online booking and “hurray” - her trip to all these countries went as clean as a whistle.

So, I mentioned only the most brilliant points of her tour. So, Spain. This country if full of various temptations and attractions: fiestas, tomato fights, Spanish Festivals, numerous social events, romantic beach resorts, a great variety of museums, galleries and art centers. Car hire Spain is a perfect opportunity to enjoy marvellous sceneries and to plan your budget!

Spain old car hire

While in Spain, don’t miss Mallorca. Masha missed, but you can visit the largest of the Balearic Islands. Mallorca is a beach paradise with myriad of sacred locations.

Also, Masha succeeded to do car hire France and now thinks that it was a trip to remember! There are a lot of advantages of car travelling: you can go where you want, to stay in one place as long as you want and to enjoy the riding among stunningly beautiful landscapes of castles, valleys and mountains.

Visit the city of Bordeaux in the Southwest, it’s famous because of vineyards and wine, what is more, driving is so thrilling there.

I hope this post will be helpful!

Where to rent a car in Europe?

Travelling itself is great fun. It is hardly possible to find a person, who can either hate travelling or be indifferent to it. It’s not just thrilling and exciting to discover new countries, it is extremely fascinating to learn more about another cultures, traditions and lifestyle. But, sometimes, minor and from the 1st sight unimportant details can easily cloud your happiness from the process of travelling. Namely this happened with a friend of mine 2 weeks ago while her holiday in Europe.

She got from the USA to France without any difficulties and had to stay in France for 5 days. It took her 3 days to become boring from exhausting excursions, so she made her mind to discover France on her own. And this is where the problem was. She wanted to rent a car and to visit picturesque vicinities of France, but she almost failed… Because it turned to be almost impossible: she is not a citizen of France, she must have done it in advance, there are no cars today and so on indefinitely. She was almost convinced of going everywhere on her own… feet. But, then (she is a lucky dog!) she found a Car Hire company, capable of fulfilling all her wishes and satisfying all her demands.

Grenoble city in France

She rented a car (a new one with nice driving performance), the cost was really low and drove from Torino to Grenoble (240 km). Why Grenoble? Because it is a nice French city near the French Alps. It is perfect for skiing but not for sightseeing’s viewing. So, she visited Mussée Dauphinois and enjoyed marvellous views over the Grenoble city from Moucherotte Mountain. And, by the way, car hire Grenoble is very convenient and the range of cars can surprise even an experienced car-lover or traveller.

Next country in my friend’s route was Switzerland and again, this car hire company justified her expectations. Everything was as clean as a whistle! Car Hire Geneva had a spacious office with a great variety of cars. And she enjoyed Switzerland and Geneva as a part of it, the only one minus - she was late to the Geneva Wine Festival.

Geneva amazing roads

To put it short, she enjoyed the journey and the cities and she is very thankful to the Argus Car Hire because they saved her holiday! The only one thing she is not satisfied with - she could hire a car online from the USA! What a shame!
