European Discoverer - Overland Trip

4 ½ weeks: Madrid to London (KU-EU10L)

Our longest tour in Europe, and one we are justly proud of. Begin in Madrid and then test the nightlife of Barcelona, is it as good as everyone says? Absorb the culture of Gaudi and take a stroll down Las Ramblas before seeing where Christopher Columbus set sail. Experience the sophistication of the French Riviera and plunge into the history of Rome, Vienna, Budapest, Prague, Berlin and Amsterdam. Learn about Romans, the Hapsburg dynasty, the French Revolution and many 20th century political upheavals. After these history lessons, take time out for exploring the shops, boutiques and markets, relax on a Mediterranean beach, enjoy the vibe of Berlin at the weekend, take a gondola ride along the canals of Venice or sit back and reflect in a sumptuous Florentine cafe. Tantalise your taste buds with an array of flavours, try tangine in Granada, delicious seafood along the French coast, Viennese pastries, Hungarian goulash and German spatzel. Covering 10 countries and a range of sceneries from the rugged landscape of Iberia to the rolling hills of Tuscany and stark plains of northern Europe, this tour will show you the beating heart of Europe. Enjoy! Please note: You can also finish this tour in Paris >
