Great European Festivals

Thousands of Asians flock to Europe each year to attend a variety of cultural festivals staged in some of the world's most historic cities. They range from the Edinburgh International Festival in Scotland, which claims to be the largest cultural event in the world, to the world-famous Bayreuth Festival in Germany, which celebrates the work of composer Richard Wagner.

Travel agents say visitors from Japan, Singapore, and HongKong are increasingly tailoring their tourist itineraries to take in the best European culture has to offer.
