Discover Europe

Our very first trip traversed Europe more than 50 years ago, and we’ve been exploring, befriending, indulging (and occasionally, imbibing) our way across it ever since.&nbsp;Today we’ve got the Continent covered: feel the warm breeze brushing off the Adriatic Sea, take in the cool air (and cooler culinary scene) of the Nordic north, explore a land of Viking legend in Iceland or get whisked away to a real life fairy tale in Bohemia.

Timeless landscapes and rich histories

Discover Europe with Butterfield & Robinson.

Finland

Finland is a place where pristine wilderness meets modern simplicity, creating an enchanting blend of nature and tranquility. Known for its sweeping forests, crystal-clear lakes, and cozy cities, Finland offers a unique experience in every season—from the mesmerizing Northern Lights in winter to the midnight sun in summer. Imagine snowshoeing through silent, snowy woods, unwinding in a traditional lakeside sauna, or exploring Helsinki’s sleek architecture and vibrant arts scene. With Butterfield &amp; Robinson, each moment in Finland is crafted to connect you to the serene beauty and unique rhythm of Nordic life, where simplicity and wonder go hand in hand.

A longtime B&R guide turned Trip Designer, Mario has worn many hats: journalist for the Jakarta Post, a sous-chef in Berlin, and a film producer in his native Germany. When he isn't planning trips, you'll find him hiking around Europe and exploring the world in his 1989 Volkswagen bus.

Mario thrives on designing complex, highly individual trips, and has been doing so since 2016, so don’t be afraid to challenge him with all requests. A former travel writer, he is skilled at weaving together a narrative that will help you explore your destination in a thoughtful and original way. And as a former chef, he’s got a keen sense of taste for top-tier menus and stellar culinary experiences—don't forget to ask him for recommendations.  

Mario used to have a film production company so knows where to find the best viewpoints.

He loves doing road trips around Europe in his camper van. 

He's a multitasker and an early riser so time zones have nothing on him.
