When you say European F1 trip, do you mean to the European GP in Valencia, or to a race in Europe but you've yet to decide where?

I organised a trip to Barcelona for a few mates a couple of years ago and booking race tickets / accomodation / Easyjet flights ourselves was much cheaper than any package I could find.

I've recently arranged a trip to Spa. Driving over from Bristol, and have booked accomodation and circuit transfers through https://www.selectmotorracing.com/home.htm

Was looking into flying to Spain/Germany/Italy but flights are so expensive over the race weekend, so Spa it was!

I've done Monza a few times. Usually great weather and a good atmosphere while Ryanair flights are silly cheap and accommodation in Bergamo is lovely.

We usually stay in Bergamo - it's easy to get to the 3 GP days, then a day up at the lakes followed by a day in Milan and then flight home

Hungary is ace, great views from the general admission areas, bronze grandstand is cracking value, cheap as chips to travel there, (nice chips too!), awesome atmosphere and a free shuttle bus to the circuit from Budapest. its a bit rough and ready when you get there but its a bit more of an adventure than belgium or spain....
