    Our top 5 things to do in Europe & Britain

    There are endless pinch-me moments to be found across the many countries that make up our Europe travel packages. But where to even begin? Perhaps a Flamenco show in Spain, afternoon tea in London or a Northern Lights viewing in frosty Iceland? Here are some of the highlights of our Europe and Britain trips that you're sure to love.

    Enjoy afternoon tea in London

    Sample over 300-years of history in the simplicity of homemade scones with whipped cream and jam. This deliciously British treat is best enjoyed in the afternoon, complete with a hot cup of Earl Grey, cucumber sandwiches and a tower of sugary delights.

    Explore ancient Athens

    You don't need to be a historian to appreciate the significance of Athens. Your love affair with the city might begin with goddess Athena’s Parthenon temple and the ruins of Acropolis, but it’s likely to end in a quaint alleyway getting a glimpse at daily life in this ancient capital. The story of Athens continues to unfold.

    Catch a flamenco show in Spain

    Discover the soul-stirring emotion of a Flamenco show in Spain. This expressive art-form has an intangible cultural heritage recognised by UNESCO, merging song, dance and musical instruments into a performance that has to be experienced at least once. Finish with dinner of paella or tapas to round off your perfect evening.

    View the Northern Lights in Iceland

    Mother Nature’s wonders come to life with the Aurora Borealis or ‘Northern Lights’. In the frosty landscapes of Iceland, this light display offers viewers a genuine pinch-me moment as vivid colours dance across the night sky.

    Spend a night at the opera in Vienna

    Hear the talents of traditional opera with the ghosts of Mozart and Strauss in your presence. Though there are more than few places to catch the opera in Vienna, none can compare to the State Opera House (Staatsoper).

    Best museums in Europe & Britain

    When travelling Europe with Trafalgar, museum hopping is one of the best ways to understand the culture and history of the places you visit. You’ll find yourself critiquing ancient art and staring in awe at some of the world’s most prominent works. Here are some of our favourites.

    Paris, France

    The Louvre

    The world’s largest gallery and the home of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, the Louvre is without rival in the art world and is a must see when in Paris. Allow an entire day to explore its eight departments, not missing the Egyptian antiquities, Islamic art and various halls of sculptures. End your day with sunset by the Louvre Pyramid.

    London, England

    The British Museum

    With some eight million works within its permanent collection, The British Museum is an illustrious European landmark. Admire objects brought back from the voyages of Captain James Cook and walk in the controversial presence of the Parthenon Marbles.

    Florence, Italy

    Uffizi Gallery

    The Tuscan capital is home to Uffizi Gallery, where the brushworks of art’s true masters can be found. Names like Raffaello, Leonardo, and Michelangelo fill Uffizi’s grand pink walls, whilst internal courtyards leading to the Arno River reveal the building’s architectural brilliance.

    Best museums in Europe & Britain

    Our trips to Europe gravitate around indulgent local mealtimes. With new cuisines and cooking methodologies found at every turn, this continent is simply delicious.

    Spain

    Paella Valenciana

    Saffron, snails, butterbeans and bomba rice are just some of the ingredients you might find in traditional Spanish paella. Despite originating from the coastal town of Valencia, Paella Valenciana is a variety without seafood. You'll love sitting back to enjoy a steaming plate over the sounds of Spanish jazz in a lively alfresco restaurant.

    Russia

    Beef Stroganoff

    Now a staple dish in many parts of the world, beef stroganoff is best enjoyed in its birthplace in Russia with a vodka in hand. This simple dish of beef strips sauteed in a sour cream sauce offers a heart-warming taste of this country’s culinary heritage.

    France

    Bouillabaisse

    The Mediterranean city of Marseille is where a French culinary icon can be found and devoured. The fragrant stew of bouillabaisse, commonly served with crusty white bread, boils up the finest local seafood and seasonal vegetables with the flavours of fennel, saffron and cayenne pepper.

    What to pack for a tour in Europe & Britain

    Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and refillable toiletry bottles.

    What to Pack
    ✔

    Headphones

    With such a large expanse of space to explore on a European travel tour, on some days, long journeys are unavoidable. Headphones can be used to listen to some local music or enjoy podcasts between stories from your Travel Director.

    ✔

    Versatile shoes

    Europe has all kinds of terrain, so you should pack shoes that can see you walking from an elegant restaurant to a cobbled footpath, with a stroll in the park in between.

    ✔

    All climate clothing

    Europe can deliver a range of temperatures, from the frosty cities of Scandinavia to the temperate hills of Portugal, layered clothing best suits the varying micro-climates.

    ✔

    A good book

    Consider dedicating a few days to sitting in a park or a cafe, alternating between reading and watching the world go by.

    ✔

    A blank journal

    With a wealth of inspiration tucked into every corner of Europe, you may find yourself compelled to write down notes, memories or recommendations to share with friends back home.
