What's this trip about?

    TRIP VIBE = the perfect mix of group activities and all-important YOU time. Got three weeks and want a mixed bag of must-see cities, famous icons and fresh AF landscapes? We got you. With two nights in every destination (well, nearly), you’ve got more time to check out the sights and discover the lesser-known gems worth bragging about. Towers, tandem paragliding and tasting – of the beer, pizza, schnitzel and stroopwafel kind, this Topdeck adventure seriously delivers.

Itinerary

Travel Map

Day 1: London (England)

Big Ben. Buses. Buckingham Palace. Welcome to London (especially if your names starts with B). An iconic city to kick off one legendary Euro adventure – makes sense. This evening we’ll meet the small bunch of trip mates who’ll be sharing the ride, before tucking into our first included group dinner. Get ready: the adventure starts NOW.

Meals: Dinner

Day 2: London – Paris (France)

Shake a leg – we’re hitting the road early to jump across the English Channel. The home of Coco Chanel, the Mona Lisa and world’s craziest roundabout – Paris deserves its rep as the European capital for all things culture, haute couture and drool-worthy food. G...

Day 3: Paris

Yep, you’re finally here – so, this is your day to do whatever YOU want. Create a solid dent in your bucket list with a visit to the Louvre (book your tickets in advance!) and the Musée d''Orsay. Snap a pic of the Arc de Triomphe. Wander the Champs Elysées. Or ...

Day 4: Paris – Swiss Alps (Switzerland)

From cityscapes to landscapes, today we’re off to the Swiss Alps! Warm up those vocal cords, we’ll be busting out some bangers on the ride into the mountains. Cue the fairytale villages of your imagination – the oh-so-quaint Engelberg is where we'll be spending...

Day 5: Swiss Alps

Another free day to do some serious exploring. Hiking. Biking. Thrill-seeking. Cheese-eating (unless you’re lactose intolerant). You could take the revolving gondola to the top of Mt Titlis for all the epic views (without the effort), then head back down in sea...

Day 6: Swiss Alps – Pisa (Italy) – Florence

Buy that mini-fondue set for mum. Down your coffee. And wave goodbye to Switzerland – we’re off to the land of the long boot. Get your creative juices flowing for THAT photo at Pisa, then make your food baby sing as we roll into the birthplace of gelato: Floren...

Day 7: Florence

Florence has more stories than Bilbo Baggins, more culture than a London hipster AND it gave the world David (the statue, not your 9th grade boyfriend). We’ll get the lay of the land on an in-depth walking tour with a local guide, feat. a bonus leather-making d...

Day 8: Florence – Orvieto – Rome

Southward and downward with a pit stop at the hilltop town of Orvieto to see the grand cathedral and dig into a wild boar panini. Trust us, it’s good. Then: bella Roma awaits! Dump your stuff at the hotel and prepare for an orientation walk with your Trip Leade...

Day 9: Rome

Time to live out your Lizzie McGuire Movie fantasies – today is all about Vespas, espresso, two-cheeked kisses and pizza (the way it’s supposed to taste). There’s an optional guided tour of Vatican City on the cards, if that’s your thing. Or how about a tour th...

Day 10: Rome – Venice

Today, we’ll say ciao to Rome and ciao to Venice. Italians – confusing, right? After checking in at the hotel, it’s time to see what all the fuss is about. Acquaint yourself with the who''s who of Venice''s usual suspects on an orientation walk – ticking off th...

Day 11: Venice

Centuries old architecture. Inventive cuisine. And a bucket-load of culture. Venice is just begging to be explored – and you’ve got the whole day to do just that. Need suggestions? Insider tip: spend some time seeking out the epic Libreria Acqua Alta bookshop o...

Day 12: Venice – Austrian Alps (Austria)

Order one last coffee in poor Italian (hey, you tried!) and prepare yourself for some I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E scenery as we make our way to the Austrian Alps. So much more than schnitzel, strudel and The Sound of Music, this thrill-seekers’ paradise should have bee...

Day 13: Austrian Alps – Mauthausen – Prague (Czech Republic)

Ready to tick off our sixth country in two weeks? But first: a sobering visit to former concentration camp Mauthausen. Learn all about the atrocities that occurred here during WWII before we make tracks to the Republic of Czech (think: check). Our Trip Leader w...

Day 14: Prague

That’s right folks – it’s your day, your way! Seek out the John Lennon wall. Soak up some history at the Communist Museum. Take the funicular up Petrin Hill for allll the views. Or grab a delish roast pork roll at one of the street vendors lining Old Town Squar...

Day 15: Prague – Dresden (Germany) – Berlin

From one beer capital to the next. Get acquainted with 800 year-old Dresden – a city virtually destroyed in WWII and then rebuilt – before we make tracks to Berlin. Prep yourself for currywurst and more hipsters per capita than anywhere else. We'll drive you ar...

Day 16: Berlin

A city exploding with culture, history and bloody good food – you’ve got 24 hrs to make the most of it. Our advice? Opt in for a historic walking tour that’s, you know – not boring. Get a local insight into what the city was like under Nazi rule and tick off th...

Day 17: Berlin – Amsterdam (Netherlands)

Onwards! We’ve got our GPS set for Amsterdam today. Once we arrive, it’s time to hit the cobblestones and explore. Check out the likes of Dam Square, the Royal Palace and the National Monument. This place is a foodie’s wet dream, so you’ll have no trouble findi...

Day 18: Amsterdam

This is our last full day. So, don’t hang about – get on your bike! Check out Amsterdam''s iconic canals, bridges and parks on an optional bike tour. Or for the culture fiends – delve a bit deeper with a visit to the Anne Frank House (make sure you book in adva...

Day 19: Amsterdam – London (England)

Today we say goodbye. But who said all good things must come to an end? There’s plenty of time to plan the next adventure on the coach back to ol’ Blighty.
