First time in Europe, start here

Europe is close together and easy to move around, which tempts everyone to pack in too much. A first trip goes better when you slow down.

Pick two or three places, not ten

Two or three cities in one trip is plenty. You see more by seeing less and rushing less.

City centre to city centre, trains are often faster and far more pleasant than a short flight once you count the airport time.

Timed entry sights and popular tours sell out. We book these ahead so you are not stuck in a queue or locked out.

One slow day in the middle keeps the whole trip enjoyable.

Tell us your dream list of cities and we will shape it into a trip that actually feels like a holiday.
