Busabout Adventures

From Paris it’s off to Belgium’s beautiful Bruges, with its narrow, winding streets and medieval canals. There’re a few more canals in Amsterdam, one of which goes right outside the Anne Frank House, one of that city’s must-sees-before-you-do-anything-silly. After Amsterdam (and remembering not to take anything naughty over the border) it’s onto Berlin, a city so recently divided that even walking under the Brandenburger Tor was impossible for nearly 30 years up to 1989 – most of our lifetimes!

The German city of Dresden is next, an interesting mix of beautifully-rebuilt cathedrals and drab Soviet-era office and apartment buildings. There’s also the chance soon afterwards to do a tour of an old internment camp over the border in the Czech Republic to remind us that Europe wasn’t always such a happy place to be.
The Czech Republic is one country where democracy has come late: the Communists were only thrown out in 1989, although tourists have been raving about the country ever since. Find out why with stopovers in Prague and Cesky Krumlov. Try and spend less than five nights in the Czech Republic, we think it’s not possible.

From chilling with the Czechs to opera with the Austrians, get your fix of culture in Vienna, the old capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire before exploring the world’s largest ice caves near Salzburg. Munich and St Johann in Tirol are next up – if you’ve ever had a picture in your head about German and/or Austrian culture and people, these are the places to see before you visit “the finest drawing-room in Europe” (big little man of French history, Napoleon Bonaparte) in the Piazza San Marco in Venice.
You’re nearly done then as you jump on the coach into Rome. If you want to jump on a ferry out to Croatia then Ancona’s your best stop; otherwise it’s through the centre of the Italian peninsula into Rome, where ancient buildings like the Colosseum and the Pantheon await.
