About the trip
This compact eight-night tour takes a lively route through some of Europe's most storied cities and vibrant capitals, starting in Rome with its layers of history visible in the Pantheon and Roman Forum. Florence offers a chance to pace yourself through landmark sights like Il Duomo and Ponte Vecchio, and Venice arrives with its canals and the chance to see St Mark's Square without the usual crowd.
Crossing into Austria and Hungary via Slovenia, you'll find Vienna's palaces and coffee houses a refined contrast to the bustle of Venice, while Budapest basks in the glow of its thermal baths and chain bridge. The journey insists on a good set of walking shoes — public transport and orientation walks mean you'll not only see but get a feel for the cities.
G Adventures runs this small-group tour aimed at travelling at a spirited pace for those who don't wish to linger long in any one place. Aside from the historical sites, there's an emphasis on local culture and nightlife, rounding off the route in Budapest, a city that certainly knows how to balance its heritage with late-night revelry.
