Itinerary

Travel Map

Day 1: Rome (Italy)

Ready to sack off the mundane and uncover extraordinary? Meet us in bella Roma, then prepare for a walking tour to end all walking tours. Slip on your Birks, fill up your water bottle and pack your anti-chafing cream – you’re gonna need it. We’re talking a soli...

Day 2: Rome – Venice

No lies – we have a long drive today. BUT name a better way to get to know your trip mates than handing round the AUX cord. Later, we'll park up in Venice – home to over 400 bridges and birthplace of Vivaldi. Acquaint yourself with the usual suspects on a walki...

Day 3: Venice

Centuries-old architecture. Inventive cuisine. And a bucket-load of culture. Venice is just begging to be explored. Do the obvious and hop aboard a gondola ride along the Grand Canal. Spend your time seeking out the epic Libreria Acqua Alta bookshop. Head off t...

Day 4: Venice – Vienna (Austria)

Order one last coffee in poor Italian (hey, you tried!), this morning we’ll weave our way through the Alps to Austria. Ten points if you can guess what Vienna is famous for. Musicians. Grand coffee houses. And strudel (duh!). Enjoy a quick stop at the opulent S...

Day 5: Vienna

A whole day in Vienna – prepare to have your heart well and truly stolen. Head to the Museum Quarter and explore. All about the aesthetic? MUMOK’s modern art is a must. Wander around the pretty-extra Hofburg Palace. Grab a table at Cafe Central for the most bou...

Day 6: Vienna – Bratislava (Slovakia) – Budapest (Hungary)

Our Vienna love affair was short but oh-so-sweet. Up next? The twin cities of Buda and Pest. But first: a quick whip around Slovakia’s fascinating capital. Three countries in one day? Only with us. In the City of Bridges, we’ll be chauffeured past the Chain Bri...

Day 7: Budapest

You wanted freedom to explore – here it is. Check out the Central Market Hall. Explore the Jewish Quarter. Play pinball at the Flippermúzeum. Get a harrowing education at the House of Terror. Hunt down the Anonymous Statue. Soak in the therapeutic waters of the...

Day 8: Budapest – Kraków (Poland)

Legend has it a dragon had to be defeated in order for Kraków to be built (eat your heart out, Game of Thrones). Get acquainted with this gem of a city on a walking tour – complete with an introduction to its resident dragon. Then? Take Fleetwood's advice and g...

Day 9: Kraków

Here’s a free day we prepared earlier. Need some suggestions? Head to Hamsa in the heart of the Jewish Quarter for some 'Hummus and Happiness', shop for the ‘Gold of the Baltic’ in the UNESCO-listed Cloth Hall. Or do as the locals do and head to Okraglak for so...

Day 10: Kraków – Prague (Czech Republic)

Onwards to the spire-filled skyline and mysterious streets of Prague! Our Trip Leader will get us acquainted with this picture-perfect city – complete with quirky clock tower – and point out all the must-dos for our free day tomorrow. After hunting down some sm...

Day 11: Prague

Another day, completely your way. Trust us, there’s plenty to Czech out (ha!). Seek out the John Lennon wall. Soak up some history at the Communist Museum. Take the funicular up Petrin Hill for allll the views. Check out what the Dancing House is all about. Or ...

Day 12: Prague – Dresden (Germany) – Berlin

From one beer capital to the next. Get acquainted with 800 year-old Dresden – a city virtually destroyed in WWII and then rebuilt – before we make tracks to Berlin. Prep yourself for currywurst and more hipsters per capita than anywhere else. We'll drive you ar...

Day 13: Berlin

A city exploding with culture, history and bloody good food – you’ve got 24 hrs to make the most of it. Our advice? Opt in for a historic walking tour that’s actually interesting. You’ll get a local insight into what the city was like under Nazi rule and tick o...

Day 14: Berlin – Amsterdam (Netherlands)

Ok, nobody panic – the adventure is coming to a close. But we’re not done yet! The GPS is set for Amsterdam today. Once we arrive, hit the cobblestones and explore the likes of Dam Square, the Royal Palace and the National Monument. This place is a foodie’s hav...

Day 15: Amsterdam

This is our last full day together. So, don’t hang about – get on your bike! Check out Amsterdam's iconic canals, bridges and parks on an optional bike tour. History buffs should pay a visit to the Anne Frank House (don’t forget to book in advance!). If you *di...

Day 16: Amsterdam – London (England)

Seriously? It’s over? After breakfast, we’ll make tracks to LDN. Blast the Trip Song one last time – who’s up for a reunion trip next year?
