Welcome to this striking setting with an enviable culture. We’ll meet & greet here in Spain’s beachside beauty, & cheers our days ahead over a bout of sangria.
Barcelona will prove the perfect introduction to our time on tour, being equal parts sultry & sophisticated. We’ll take to the streets & learn the intricacies of life here before having the chance to tap into some tapas. As the sun sets you could head to the hip hood of Gracia, meandering the bookstores & boutiques before catching a gig in some of the cities coolest bars.
Today you could take a lazy brunch in the Latin Quarter before having the chance to explore Barcelona further. After a good dose of sunshine & saltwater we’ll head back to the mainland to make the most of our final night in the city. Keen to kick it to the early AM hours? Marula, Shoko & Pulitzer Terrace are just a few of our favourite haunts.
Wake up & dust off, we’ve got a new beachside delight sitting ahead of us. With bags packed you can grab a coffee (and by coffee we mean some churros) before we hit the road, taking our newfound affection for Spain along with us. Following the Mediterranean Sea in...
You would assume the idyllic setting on la Côte d’Azur would be the most impressive thing about the French city of Nice. But today you can discover its rightful position as a European culinary hub as we ride pushbikes & sample its fine food offerings.
The most quintessential French Riviera experience will be on the cards for us today in Nice, with a day of sailing lined up as an optional. Those playing landlubber could enjoy some more food indulgences, sampling regional specialties like a delicious salade niçoise.
Nice Wrapping up our time by the ocean, we’ll take one last sigh of deep love looking at the coastal scene before we leg it to our new city vista. Genoa Coasting along the Mediterranean, we’ll pass through Menton before crossing the border into Italy. We’ll stay coas...
Not content covering Lombardy’s capital alone, we’ll head to Lake Como & the dreamy village of Bellagio where signs of life date back 30,000 years. For anyone keen on late hour shenanigans back in the city, we suggest Tunnel Club built into a railway arch near Milan’s Central Station.
If you’re still feeling mystified by Milan’s hidden layers, you can sit amongst design student swagger somewhere like the gallery of Fabbrica del Vapore. The antique tram could take you to a whole new neighborhood, we quite like the street art & specialty stores o...
Say goodbye to Milan this morning with your last Italian café before heading north to the Germanic region of this great continent. Neuschwanstein Shortly after taking our final border hop of the day we’ll stop by Neuschwantstein, the quintessential castle that inspir...
Today we’ll have the opportunity to uncover Germany’s unsavoury past with a Third Reich Tour. After that gets you into the mood for discovery, you can venture to the museum hub and café district of Maxvorstadt. Admire works by the likes of Andy Warhol & Jean-Michel Basquiat at Museum Brandhorst & you’ll feel right amidst Munich’s creative scene.
Here in Munich beer is a proud and deep-seated craft, one we can explore over a Bavarian beer & food evening. We’ll pair our brew with the flavours of Germany & ‘prost’ our final night on tour.
That concludes our time with Europe’s cultural epicentres. It’s end scene, chapter closed & arrivederci.

That’s why Contiki invented group travel for young people in 1962 and we’ve spent the past 53 years perfecting it. You’ll explore amazing destinations with a group of 18-35 year olds from around the world who share your passion for adventure, good times and creating memories that define what it is to be young, wild and free.
No two travellers are the same and we know that, which is why we offer eight unique ways to explore the world. We have a number of options to choose from to create a vacation that’s perfect for you, from budget to accommodation style.
We're all about exploring the world with like-minded people, which is why we only run trips for 18-35 year olds, to celebrate being young, spirited and curious.
