Lenin left for Europe on two occasions. The first was around 1900 when his three year term in exile in Siberia ended. He wanted to continue his revolutionary agitation, but the Tsarist regime would have arrested and imprison or exile him again. He went to Europe so that he could write revolutionary books and articles for publication in Russia. He also wanted to keep his hand in revolutionary activities from abroad.

Lenin also fled to Europe (Finland to be exact) in early July 1917. There was an attempt at a revolution in July which failed. The Tsarist regime began arresting every revolutionary they could. He went to Finland, for awhile then shaved off his beard and snuck back into Russia disguised as a railway worker.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
