Days spent floating down a lazy river, sitting in sunny beer gardens, eating gelato on the beach or hiking in the Italian hills. Sound about right for your kind of Europe holiday? If so, read on.
This Flexiroute Europe tour begins in the Czech capital of Prague and heads into medieval Cesky Krumlov. Explore the castle, go horseback riding, or float in a tube down the Vltava River – either way, it’s an addictive little spot. Leaving Cesky, head to Austria, where you’ll hear the sound of music around every corner in Vienna and Salzburg. Cross the border into Munich to visit the Hofbrahaus, the most famous of Munich’s beerhalls.
Next up is Venice, where the gelati is plentiful and the cars absent! Continue learning Italian as you head down to Rome, where you can jump on the Italian Adventure for tours of the ruins of Pompeii, the Isle of Capri and two nights in sensational Sorrento. Keep the great food coming as you travel through romantic Renaissance Florence and the stunning villages of the Cinque Terre. Mingle with the rich and suntanned on the French Riviera before heading into Spain. Emerse yourself in wild Barcelona architecture, do a paella-crawl through Valencia or just lie on the beach of either and check out the Spaniards. Finally it’s the Spanish capital of Madrid, where you can catch a bullfight, a Real Madrid match, or stay cool in one of the museums.
