Bonjour! Welcome to Paris – the City of Lights. Your trip kicks off with a welcome meeting at 6 pm tonight. If you arrive early, why not check out the world-famous Louvre, where you can see the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo. Maybe climb the Eiffel Tower for some impressive aerial views of the city. If the weather’s nice, maybe take a picnic lunch of baguettes and cheese to the Tuileries, Plantes or the Jardin du Luxembourg. After your meeting, why not head out for an optional welcome dinner at one of the local restaurants or explore the surrounding neighbourhoods and discover why this city is known for its romantic appeal.
Leave Paris behind and jump on a train to Brussels, where your leader will take you on a walk around the city, sampling some traditional Belgian fries along the way. After, you have free time to explore at your own pace. Maybe wander down to the Manneken Pis (Little Peeing Man) – an iconic symbol of Belgium or wander The Musical Instrument Museum – three floors of musical instruments coming from every corner of the world and hundreds of years of musical history in one place. Tonight, maybe explore Ilot Sacre – a great place to find good food and fun bars.
Spend a week exploring some of the best bits of northwestern Europe, from Paris to Berlin. With plenty of free time to explore at your own pace and a local leader on hand with insider information, it’s easy to make the most of your days. Walk the streets of romantic Paris, have a beer in Brussels and explore a fairytale castle in Antwerp. From the City of Lights to the cobbled alleys of Belgium, you’ll be cycling along the canals of Amsterdam if the weather’s good and exploring the nightlife of Berlin. Tick iconic landmarks off your bucket list and discover hidden gems in Bruges, all with like-minded travellers. What are you waiting for? Europe is calling!
