Seductive Southern Italy

When you think of Europe do you picture the quaint coastal towns and sumptuous seafood delights of Italy? If so, this intoxicating 10-day journey across some of the country’s finest stretches of coastline is bound to win your heart. Start in Naples for a street food bonanza before winding along the Amalfi Coast like a classic movie star.

Berlin to Budapest: The Best of Central Europe by Train

Perhaps the definitive way to have a European adventure is by hopping on a train and covering as much of the continent as you can. You’ll explore five countries, or five capital cities, on this 10-day rail epic in Central Europe. Start with a blend of history and modernity in Berlin before hitting the tracks to Prague, where old medieval charm and world class beer is more the vibe. Things get sophisticated in Vienna, where you’ll dine on schnitzel and sachertorte, as well as taking a detour down the Wachau Valley to cycle along the Danube, before arriving in Bratislava, one of the most underrated cities in all of Europe. The final stop? Budapest, a city brimming with history, culture and gorgeous architecture, as well as soothing thermal baths and trendy ruin bars – the perfect place to end a classic Euro adventure.
