Work exchange in Europe: where to start?

The cultural hub of the world, Europe is home to world-known museums and landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, the Amsterdam Canals, La Sagrada Familia or the Acropolis in Athens. As a volunteer in Europe you’ll explore landscapes, monuments and the best foods for a cold winter like belgian fries or hungarian goulash. Take a train to Eastern Europe to find amazing places like Prague Castle, Buda Castle or the many museums of Vienna. Enjoy the nordic landscapes of Norway or the amazing beaches of Spain and Portugal. Europe has it all!
