Grand thermal baths and Danube views in Budapest, easily paired with Vienna and Bratislava.
Fjord-like bays, walled coastal towns and alpine mountains packed into a country the size of a large city.
Atlantic coastline, tiled cities and port wine, priced noticeably lower than Spain or Italy.
Fairy-tale Prague, excellent beer culture and some of the best train connections in Europe.
Alpine lakes, caves and a tiny stretch of coast, compact enough to see most of it in under a week.
Everything from Gaudí's Barcelona to Andalusian palaces and Mediterranean beaches, in one large, varied country.
Ancient ruins, whitewashed islands and some of Europe's best food, at the cost of serious summer crowds.
A polished Adriatic coastline of walled towns and island-hopping, at a premium compared to its Balkan neighbours.
Rome, the Amalfi Coast, Tuscany and the Alps — extraordinary depth, extraordinary crowds and prices to match.
5 itineraries
Ancient Athens, the Peloponnese's castles and coastline, and the monasteries of Meteora — no islands required.
Ubud's rice terraces and temples, then the surf beaches and cliff-top sunsets of Uluwatu and Seminyak.
Italy's classic first-timer route — ancient Rome, Renaissance Florence, a Bologna food stop and canal-side Venice, all by high-speed train.
Auckland's harbour, Rotorua's geothermal and Māori culture, and Queenstown's mountains and adventure sports in the South Island.
Vienna's imperial palaces, Salzburg's Mozart heritage, the postcard lake town of Hallstatt, and alpine Innsbruck to finish.
