Day 1 Depart London/Arrive In Amsterdam
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Depart London/Arrive In Amsterdam

Travel from London to one of Europe’s most popular cities. Thousands of people flock to Amsterdam every year, so our Essence of Europe trip had to start here. You will finally see what all the fuss is about! Amsterdam is often referred to as ’Venice of the North’. The capital is a city on everyone’s bucket list and is adored by our customers. From those unconventional restaurants, local craft beers, to world-class museums, it’s easy to see why people love it. Don’t forget that this city has more bicycles than people, so you need to explore it in true Netherland’s style.
Day 2 Amsterdam
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Amsterdam

Now that you have a full day to spend exploring all that Amsterdam has to offer, we highly recommend starting your day off by visiting the Anne Frank Museum but be aware, you need to plan and book your tickets online as this is one of the most popular tours in Amsterdam and can sell out very quick! The good news is you can get some of Amsterdam’s famous pancakes just next door to the museum. Other tours we recommend are the Heineken Experience, Rijksmuseum and the A’DAM lookout. Looking for nightlife? Head to the party hub, Leidseplein!
Day 3 Arrive In Berlin
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Arrive In Berlin

You then travel to Berlin, a city in Europe often compared to New York, as it never sleeps! The locals here are known as the lotus-eaters of Germany as they love nothing more than a good time. Don’t let this put you off, as this city is pulsating with museums, tasty beer, and an unimaginable history! It’s safe to say that Berlin is a city loved by those planning their ultimate Europe trip.
Day 4 Berlin
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Berlin

Using your app, you should tick some of the recommendations off on our city guide. Berlin has an immense amount of history waiting to be discovered, it once staged a revolution, was headquartered by Nazis, bombed to bits, divided in two and then finally reunited. Our top 2 favourite tours are the poignant Jewish Memorial and the largest open-air art gallery in the world, the East Side Gallery. Walk around the city, seeing what you stumble upon. Visit iconic landmarks such as the Brandenburg Gate, Fersehturm and Berliner Dom. If you’re into art, you should take a trip to Museum Island, where, as the name suggests, an island that is home to numerous museums (five to be precise).
Day 5 Arrive In Prague
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Arrive In Prague

It’s no secret that Prague is one of Europe’s most magical, affordable and beautiful cities, a perfect addition to any interrail route. The ’City of a Thousand Spires’ is an architectural gem, the city has been an important UNESCO World Heritage Site which attracts more and more tourists every year! The narrow streets open up onto fantastic squares which host to medieval-looking homes and historical buildings for you to explore! Start in the centre of the Old Town, home to the major sights and has been the city’s main marketplace for a millennium.
Day 6 Prague
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Prague

A trip to Prague would not be complete without taking a walk along the iconic Charles Bridge, one of Prague’s most popular tourist attractions. It can be quite busy during the day, why not visit early morning or late in the evening to have the bridge all to yourself? The John Lennon Wall, which since the 1980s, has been filled with John Lennon inspired graffiti and Beatles song lyrics, as well as other designs relating to local and global causes. Check out your city guide and discounted sightseeing tours for other things to do while you’re here.

Day 10 Bruges
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Bruges

Belgium boasts beautiful architecture, charming locals, great beer and delicious chocolate, and Bruges is the country’s crown jewel!

Without a doubt, the Belfry Tower will be at the top of your list, it’s what the Eiffel Tower is to Paris, a defining feature of the city.
