Sun your thing? Our Sun Seeker will take you on the road of discovery, through the best cities Europe has to offer, winding along the French and Italian Rivieras where you’ll find a taverna around every corner. Sunglasses and an ipod stacked with summer tunes are essentials for this road trip…
Beginning in Berlin, we head into the Czech Republic and find ourselves in Prague and Cesky Krumlov. Explore the castle, go floating down the Vltava – either way you’ll leave with a smile. After Cesky it’s onto the Austrian capital of Vienna – home of the world’s oldest ferris wheel would you believe – and Salzburg, where the “Sound Of Music” was filmed. Cross over the border into Munich for the chance to visit the Hofbrahaus – possibly the most famous of the Munich beerhalls – before heading Into Italia.
Ahh Venice, where you’ll find Gelati but no cars. Onwards to Rome which you can use as a base for jumping on the Italian Adventure, where you get a guided tour around the ruins of Pompeii, visit the Isle of Capri and spend two nights in sensational Sorrento. Up then for a photo call in Orvieto before heading up to Siena, home of the Il Palio (check out the latest James Bond flick to see footage from that)! Afterwards head up to Florence for the Uffizi and Academia galleries showing just what came out of town during the Renaissance, then onto La Spezia and the Cinque Terre, where each of the five villages has its own special character.
All this sun should have whetted your appetite for the beach by now, which is quite handy given Nice and the rest of the French Riviera have a few of their own. Head out to Monaco, Villefranche or Nice beaches for some fun in the sun. Out to Avignon, home of the Avignon Festival in July each year, before bustling to Barcelona and all the fantastic food and beaches the Catalan capital has to offer. Football fans shouldn’t forget to check out the Nou Camp, home to Barcelona FC! Second-last up is the city of Valencia, which even though it is the third largest in Spain still has a friendly, laid-back air to it. Finally it’s the Spanish capital of Madrid. It’s here you’re most likely to catch a bullfight; it’s also here you can check out the Bernabeu, home to Real Madrid. And that’s without getting into the nightlife.
