About the trip

This brisk six-night tour by G Adventures travels through four countries, moving mostly by train, giving travellers a good look at the southern European coast from an urban and village perspective. The route begins in Rome, where the well-trodden spots like the Leaning Tower of Pisa lie en route to the coast's highlight, Cinque Terre, known for its coastal trails where the sea whispers beside you. A brief detour into Monaco brings a touch of wealth and graciousness before reaching Nice on the French Riviera, with its famous seafront promenade. The tour concludes in Barcelona, home to Gaudí's distinctive architecture and a bustling culinary scene. The accommodation is simple and shared, keeping costs down and energy high for walking days. Expect early starts and plenty of carrying luggage yourself on trains and public transport. This is an efficient way to tick cities and coastlines, with space to breathe between destinations, meant for those who don't mind a quick pace and modest comforts.
