On The Go’s Top Three European Highlights

Europe is a patchwork of different landscapes, cultures, and experiences. There is so much to see and do that you can visit time and time again and still find new places and activities to enjoy along the way. Whether it is your first visit, or you’re drawn back to see more, here are three top highlights to discover with On The Go in Europe.

Venice, Italy

Venice is a must see destination on a tour of Italy. The very thought of it conjures up images of canals winding between stunning architecture and below gorgeous bridges. Gondolas glide romantically atop the waterways and give visitors an iconic way to see the city when their feet tire from wandering the pretty cobblestone streets.

On The Go’s Italy tours end in Venice and include an afternoon of guided sightseeing to showcase the iconic St Mark’s Square and the stunning Basilica. You can also choose to add extra nights onto the end of your tour. So, if your 8 day Italian Expresso leaves you hungry for more, or if you just can’t bid farewell to Italy after 12 days discovering the Renaissance & Riviera, you can extend your stay and spend a little longer sampling the gelato and marvelling at the sights on offer in Venice.

Cappadocia, Turkey

This unique landscape – or moonscape – is peppered with thousands of conical shaped rocks and charming buildings carved into the intriguing facades that make this scenery so surreal. On The Go offer a guided tour of this charmingly bizarre region on their Turkey Unplugged and Turkey Discovered itineraries.

For a truly special experience, you also have the option to add on an early morning hot air balloon ride to take in the scenery from above. Watch the sky light up with the sun’s first rays and catch your breath as a yellow glow illuminates the other hot air balloons on the horizon – a truly magical moment.

St Petersburg, Russia

One of Russia’s most charismatic cities, St Petersburg is often referred to as the ‘Venice of the North’. It is a maze of canals, impressive architecture and rich history. On The Go’s passionate guides will help you navigate St Petersburg during your tour of Russia, showcasing the Hermitage Museum, The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood and much more. On some itineraries, you will also get the option to add on unique experiences like a night at the Russian ballet.

On The Go also offer a collection of Christmas and New Year tours which see you celebrate the festive season in Russia, when St Petersburg turns into a winter wonderland. With all Russia tours starting or ending in St Petersburg, you can also choose to add pre or post nights to explore more of this alluring city on your own.
