Overview

Book online and enjoy exclusive savings on Contiki's 19 Day London to Rome Vistas. Kicking off your adventure in Rome, you’ll meet up with the rest of your crew who are all ready and waiting this morning. Then there’s no time to waste, Rome is begging to be explored! Our first day will be a whirlwind of Roman architecture and bucket list sights as we uncover all of Rome’s key features, from the Colosseum to St Peter’s Basilica, and even the chance to explore Vatican City. Not enough? There’s also the option to head back in time and discover Rome of the Emperors and Gladiators with a guided tour...read more of the Colosseum. With a full day of exploring behind you, you’re free to head out tonight to find some dinner and check out the local nightlife.

Itinerary

The adventure of a lifetime kicks off today. Meet up with your new Contiki family in London town before hitting the road to Amsterdam. Shortly before we find our ferry for France, we'll be taking in the English coastline beauty of the White Cliffs of Dover. They owe their gorgeousness to their composition of chalk - you're learning and we haven't even left the UK!

Off the ferry we arrive in the port town of Calais - French soil! We travel north to Amsterdam! And here we are at our final stop for this evening: Amsterdam! You can start your exploration of this city with an optional trip up to the A'DAM tower and swing (with drink in hand) for panoramic views over the city.

Afterwards, there's plenty of nightlife to keep you going until the early hours. (D) Stay: Ibis Budget Amsterdam City South (or similar)

Amsterdam is cute as a button & sure to win your heart with its canals, obscure museums & a café culture like no other. Today use your time to get local, bar hop, museum crawl, and see what other tastes take your fancy, this place is famous for pancakes, frites and so much more. After exploring, you'll want to join your new Contiki family for an optional dinner at a local fishing village and maybe a few drinks aboard a cruise down the river. Could today get any better? (B)

Out of Amsterdam, onto the autobahn and on the fast-track to Hamburg – that's today's agenda. Crossing over to Germany, we find ourselves in another charming city dotted with canals and cafes, along with a central city lake and plenty of parks. We'll acquaint ourselves with Hamburg by starting with an orientation of the city, before free time to find some dinner tonight. (B) Stay: Ibis Styles Hamburg Barmbek (or similar)

Hamburg, it's been sweet, but we have our sights set on another famous port city. And first... On our way to wonderful Copenhagen today, we'll also pass via Odense, the birthplace of Hans Christian Anderson. With cobbled streets and colorful houses in a historic district full of character, it's easy to see where his inspiration came from.

Constantly named amongst the most livable cities in the world (along with one of the happiest), Copenhagen greets us with craft beer breweries, a Renaissance-era castle, hip bars and cafes, a walkable city center and - you guessed it - more canals. We'll start with a walking tour of the top sites, followed by free time to find dinner in one of the local spots. (B) Stay: Moxy Sydhavnen (or similar)

Copenhagen is an artwork of locals on bicycles, Danish pastries in cute café windows, and Renaissance architecture. Being a bustling university town and home to the hippie hood of Freetown Christiana, nightlife, and unique culture can be found at every turn. (B)

Before you go bursting out of your travel clothes thanks to your new-found Danish pastry dependency, we're saying ‘farvel' to Denmark.

Next stop: the ferry, then Berlin! On the world map of party vibes, Berlin has a gold star. We've got two nights to explore every inch of this iconic city, and we'll kick it off with a bit of a tour of the city and its troubled but fascinating past. Once we've gotten acquainted with the key sites, we'll enjoy an included dinner together. (B/D) Stay: Ibis Berlin Messe (or similar)

Tours, glorious tours! After our taster of Berlin's history yesterday, we'll have two inspiring walking tours in store for today (totally optional of course).

First up, take a historical walking tour, including a visit to the site of Hitler's bunker. Next, we'll embark on an Alternative Berlin walking tour, taking us to all the city's hipster haunts and historical hotspots. If you're looking for a night out, tonight is the perfect time to scope out one of those underground raves or cocktail-lounge-in-the-basement scenarios that Berlin is famous for. (B)

This morning we'll motor out of Berlin, ready for our next city. Berlin is one tough act to follow, but we think Poland will deliver. The capital of Poland has a vibrant urban scene and we're staying right in the center of it, in the hip & artistic district of Praga. We'll get treated to an authentic Polish feast tonight to begin our introduction to this lively European city, with all day tomorrow to explore. (B/D) Stay: Ibis Budget Warszawa Centrum (Warsaw, Poland)

Ready to discover Warsaw? Tragic bombings after the war have seen this city experience a re-birth, and it's packed with museums, a buzzing street art scene, and cool vibes dotted with a dose of random to keep us on our toes. Your local guide will give you the insider track as we take it all in on foot. A renowned musical city, keep your ears open day long and see what sound pleasures you also stumble upon.

Tonight you'll have free time for dinner, so Perogi (Polish dumplings) and a glass of compote somewhere within Warsaw's lively cafe scene should be on your agenda - just ask your Trip Manager for the best local hangs. (B)

Waving ‘pa! ' to Warsaw, we have our sights set on Krakow this morning. En route, we'll stop off at the infamous Auschwitz concentration camp for a sobering reminder of Poland's dark past. Once the capital of Poland, Krakow is now known for its rich history, tasty pretzels, excellent vintage markets (you heard it from us) and salt mining heritage.

Tonight you'll have time to explore the local restaurants for a traditional dinner, then you can rest up knowing we have all day tomorrow to get our Krakow on. (B) Stay: Vienna House Andel's Cracow (or similar)

Good morning Poland! Today is all about getting up close and personal with Krakow life. We'll cover the basics on our included sightseeing tour in the morning, and you have a free afternoon to stroll the charming streets of Krakow. Check out Kazimierz, the UNESCO-listed Old Town & historic Jewish Quarter with its jumble of street art, vintage markets, crumbling cafes & 14th century synagogue.  An optional Pierogi making class will keep us entertained into the evening. (B) Stay: Vienna House Easy Cracow (or similar)

We say a fond farewell to Krakow and head for the bright lights of Budapest this morning. Pastel painted and manicured to perfection, Banska Bystrica is a lunch break that will charm you to no end. Being in Slovakia, it's also your chance to brag 3 countries in one day - you crazy globetrotter you. Welcome to Hungary!

Coming in at number 3 on our list of countries ticked off through the day. From the moment we arrive in the river split city, you'll understand why we needed a couple of nights here. Take your time exploring this evening, stop for a drink in a ruin bar tucked away in the Jewish Quarter and keep our eyes peeled for a delicious Langos. (B) Stay: Ibis Budapest City South Hotel (or similar)

Ready to explore, we'll head out on a journey of old and new this morning with a locally guided walking tour of Budapest including the Royal Palace, the Chain Bridge & the Fisherman's Bastion. As the evening draws in, you'll have the chance to jump on board a Danube River Cruise with dinner included. Gliding across the shimmering night-lit river of Danube, you'll get to experience the beautiful sights of Budapest while enjoying a delicious à la carte Hungarian feast. (B)

Bye bye Budapest, your unique charm will remain in our hearts forever. Hitting the road, we'll journey west and cross-country through Hungary and into Austria. Here in the Austrian Tyrol, you'll have the chance to stay at Contiki Haus Schöneck, a Special Stay worthy of the name, where you can socialise with fellow skiers and Contiki travelers across multiple hang-out spaces, with authentic Austrian cuisine cooked on site too. There's also local beer available at the bar (which is also on site.) When it comes to hitting the hay tonight, you'll sleep in a same-sex multi-share with up to 5 other travelers. (B/D) Stay: Contiki Haus Schoneck (or similar)

Wake up, peel open your curtains, and take in the magnificence of your view. If you're feeling lively you can jump onto a bike tour through green mountains and waterfalls. If you're feeling really lively you can go tandem paragliding. Not so lively? Stroll around and take in the incredible setting; drink endless hot chocolate, go up a mountain in a gondola or relax at our Gasthof. (B/D)

Farewell life in the blissful Austrian Alps, but the enchanting allure of Slovenia lies ahead as we make our way to the capital city of Ljubljana. Although you might find nods to neighbouring countries, a distinct identity within Slovenian culture has evolved from the melody of influences surrounding it. We'll have a walking orientation to get acquainted with our surroundings and after that, you're free to explore the bohemian art district of Metelkova Mesto or sit by one of Ljubljana's atmospheric watercourses. (B) Stay: A conveniently located hostel

Ever the advocates of a balanced holiday, today we're trading in the obscure unknown for the globally adored hot spot of Venice. Whoop! Yes, it's as cute as you imagine. Yes, you'll feel like you're part of an Italian fairytale. Yes, you are actually hanging out in the gondola clad floating city of Venice! A private boat ride, gothic architecture and a web of lanes to explore will keep your day filled quite nicely. (B) Stay: A conveniently located hotel

Farewell floating city, but Italy, we're not done with you yet, our next destination the Eternal City of Rome is just around the corner. The afternoon will really take it up a notch as we uncover Italian icons in the country's capital of Rome as you get a glimpse of it's glory by night. Gelato, pizza and ancient monuments - perfetto! (B)

Full of gelato and memories, we'll bid ‘ciao' to Bella Roma but never goodbye to lasting friendships and future Contiki adventures. (B)
