Flying Holiday in Europe

There is no such thing as an European central office for gliders. Glider
regulations are strictly national.

That said, if your glider has an N registration and you have an US
license, I strongly believe that you can fly wherever you want without
any additional paper work. But you *will* need a liability insurance.
(Order of magnitude of 2 million Euros or something like this.)

Your best bet is really to contact the FOCAs of every country you want
to fly in. They tend to be helpful.
