Accommodation

Weโ€™ve sourced our accommodation very carefully and picked the best possible hotels in line with the Intrepid 18 to 35s style of travel. Our first accommodation choice is always as close to the main attraction of the destination as possible, however, sometimes we are not in the right centre of action, which means you may need to hop on a public transport to get to the city centre. Service and accommodation in Europe may be different to the standards you are used to. Your accommodation will not always have private en suite facilities or air-conditioning. European hotels generally donโ€™t provide kettles or fridges and in particular destinations, rooms may be rather small. OCCASIONAL ALTERNATIVE ACCOMMODATION: The style of accommodation indicated in the day-to-day itinerary is a guideline. On rare occasions, alternative arrangements may need to be made due to the lack of availability of rooms in our usual accommodation. A similar standard of accommodation will be used in these instances. ROOMING ALLOCATION: Accommodation on this trip is on a twin/multi-share basis. We pair up solo travellers with other travellers of the same gender as per the gender marker on each of their passports. CHECK-IN TIME: Throughout the trip we request that our hotels prepare rooms in time for your arrival, especially if youโ€™re arriving prior to normal check-in time. However this isnโ€™t always possible which means you wonโ€™t be able to check-in immediately on arrival at some hotels. Instead, you can store your luggage and go exploring. PRE/POST TRIP ACCOMMODATION: If youโ€™ve purchased pre-trip or post-trip accommodation (if available), you may be required to change rooms from your trip accommodation for these extra nights. Hotel (12 nights), Guesthouse (3 nights), Guesthouse (multi-share) (2 nights), Hostel (2 nights), Hostel (multi-share) (4 nights)

Guide

All Intrepid group trips in Europe are accompanied by one of our local European group leaders. โ€™Localโ€™ in this context means a leader who is European or lives in Europe. The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. Intrepid endeavours to provide the services of an experienced leader however, due to the seasonality of travel, rare situations may arise where your leader is new to a particular region or training other group leaders. Your leader takes care of logistics, will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the places visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. At Intrepid we also aim to support local guides in the individual cities or locations we travel to. If you are interested in delving deeper into the local culture at a specific site or location then your leader can recommend an optional local guide service in most of the main destinations of your trip.

Transport

TRANSPORT IN EUROPE: Half the fun of travel is the travelling itself, thatโ€™s why we like to travel the local way โ€“ whether that means mingling with commuters on a local train, watching the scenery roll by from the window of a long distance bus, arriving on a high speed train in the city centre of your next destination, or navigating each cityโ€™s public transport system. In Europe, you are guaranteed to travel by genuine local public transport wherever possible, which puts you right in the centre of the action. Train , Metro , Private vehicle , Public bus , Taxi

Itinerary of your trip Epic Europe: Central And Italy

  • Day 1 Day 1: Berlin
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: Berlin

      Guten Tag! Welcome to Germany. Your adventure kicks off with a welcome meeting at 6 pm tonight in Berlin. If you arrive in Berlin early, maybe explore the city on foot โ€“ Berlin is packed with historic sites, cutting-edge galleries and iconic architecture. The city also boasts a party scene that makes NYCโ€™s nightlife seem tame. If youโ€™re keen to see what Berlin is about, itโ€™s highly recommended that you arrive a couple of days early. Why not get to know your new travel crew tonight and head out for currywurst (hot dogs covered in ketchup, Worcester sauce and curry powder) and a stein.

  • Day 2 Day 2: Wroclaw
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Wroclaw

      This morning, say goodbye to Germany and hop on a train to Wroclaw โ€“ the cultural centre of southwest Poland sitting on the banks of River Oder. Youโ€™ll arrive in the early afternoon. Settle into your hotel, then follow your leader on an orientation walk around the city that makes it feel as though youโ€™ve stepped back in time. The rest of the day is free for you to explore how you wish. Maybe check out Ostrรณw Tumski (Cathedral Island), the Old Town Square and the Four Denominations District, where the cityโ€™s incredible architecture and history are on display. Or appreciate Wroclaw from River Oder and picnic with a few of your new travel buddies.

  • Day 3 Day 3: Krakow
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3: Krakow

      This morning, board a train to Krakow โ€“ your base for the next two nights. As you stroll the streets of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Town, glimpse the medieval architecture, castles, churches and sprawling squares with your leader. Grab some zapiekanka along the way (a baguette topped with mushroom and cheese) โ€“ a beloved street snack. Later, strike out on your own and maybe visit Wawel Royal Castle, which sits atop a hill next to the Vistula River or glimpse the impressive St Maryโ€™s Basilica and its extraordinary wood-carved Gothic altarpiece. If churches are your thing, the neo-Gothic St Francisโ€™ Basilica is worth a visit.

  • Day 4 Day 4: Krakรณw
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 4: Krakรณw

      Today is a free day for you to explore Krakow. Walking the โ€˜Royal Routeโ€™ โ€“ the former path of Polish monarchs โ€“ takes you past most of the Old Townโ€™s greatest treasures, including Florianska Gate and the Barbican. Tonight, visit a traditional bar mleczny (milk bar) for dinner. Polish Milk Bars, which were popular in World War II, are local canteens where you can get a home-cooked meal. Offering a glimpse into authentic Polish life, having dinner here means no English menus, sharing tables when its busy and soaking up the local atmosphere. There are very few tourists who think to visit a milk bar, unless they know a local!

  • Day 5 Day 5: Prague
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 5: Prague

      This morning after breakfast, head to the Czech Republic. Take a bus to the town of Ostrava, then board the train to Prague.โ€ฏAfter checking into your hotel, your leader will show you some of Pragueโ€™s best sites on an orientation walk. Then youโ€™re free to explore on your own. Maybe wander the streets of the Jewish Quarter and check out the oldest surviving synagogue in Europe or learn about Pragueโ€™s favourite son at the Franz Kafka Museum. Make sure to take a scenic stroll along the Charles Bridge and watch the Astronomical Clock in action as it ticks over. This is a gorgeous city, so exploring on foot is often peopleโ€™s go-to activity.

  • Day 6 Day 6: Prague
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 6: Prague

      Today you can enjoy more free time in Prague to visit the sites you missed yesterday. Prague Castle has a great viewpoint that provides sweeping views of the cityโ€™s red rooftops and medieval architecture. Consider a day trip to Kutna Hora, where you can visit Sedlec Ossuary โ€“ an eerie chapel decorated with human skeletons โ€“ or St Barbara Church and its medieval frescoes. Pragueโ€™s Old Town becomes particularly magical at night. Return for an evening stroll to soak up the atmosphere before checking out some of the townโ€™s cosy cellar hangouts or underground Absinthe bars. If youโ€™re into jazz, Prague also boasts one of the best scenes in Europe! Ask your leader for suggestions if youโ€™re not sure where to head out tonight.

  • Day 7 Day 7: Cesky Krumlov
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 7: Cesky Krumlov

      Bid farewell to Prague today and travel south to the fairytale-like town of Cesky Krumlov. Dating back to the 13th century, this tiny town closely resembles Prague with its gorgeous castle across the river and pretty mix of Renaissance and Baroque architecture. Head out on a leader-led walk around town, as they provide insight into the architectural symbolism and Old Town mysteries. After, use some free time to head to the top of the Castle Tower for a great view of the townโ€™s red rooftops and distant rolling green hills, explore the castle and its gardens or browse the shops that line the riverfront. If youโ€™re feeling active, ask your leader about rafting and canoeing activities on offer (time and weather permitting).

  • Day 8 Day 8: Vienna
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 8: Vienna

      Hop into your private transfer and travel across the border to Austria and the Baroque city of Vienna. A perennial favourite for the worldโ€™s most liveable city, Vienna is also a dream for starry-eyed travellers looking for delicious coffee and pastries (sachertorte in particular), classical music and grand palaces. Get acquainted with the city on a leader-led walk and then enjoy some free time to explore on your own. Art lovers have their pick of museums to explore โ€“ maybe check out modern Austrian art at the Leopold Museum, paintings by Monet, Degas and Picasso at the neo-classical Albertina or the worldโ€™s largest collection of paintings by Austrian painter Gustav Klimt at Belvedere Palace. This evening, why not sample Viennaโ€™s incredible musical heritage and catch a performance at one of the cityโ€™s historic venues such as the Vienna State Opera House.

  • Day 9 Day 9: Vienna
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 9: Vienna

      Spend another day exploring Viennaโ€™s rich artistic and intellectual heritage. Maybe head to Schloss Belvedere (Belvedere Palace), Schoenbrunn Palace or the Hofburg Palace complex to discover Austriaโ€™s symmetrical take on over-the-top grandeur. Exploring some of the cityโ€™s more specific museums such as the Schnapps Museum, the Sigmund Freud Museum or the Globe Museum, which is located inside the impressive Austrian National Museum. Climb the tower of St Stephenโ€™s Cathedral, take a spin on the Prater Ferris Wheel or catch a dressage show at the Spanish Riding School. If you didnโ€™t head out last night, maybe cap off a culture-filled day with a spot of Mozart Bach or Schubert at the opera house.

  • Day 10 Day 10: Budapest
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 10: Budapest

      This morning youโ€™ll continue your exploration of Europeโ€™s opulent past in Budapest. Take a train and watch the scenery pass you by โ€“ when you arrive, your leader will show you around the city on an orientation walk where you can sample a Hungarian specialty - langos (fried dough). More than just a fairy-tale-like ode to the past, Budapest is also a bustling city with hip bars, trendy cafes and plenty of cheap eats. Your evening is free and your leader will make sure that youโ€™re equipped with all the insider knowledge when it comes to which are the best (and best-kept secret) ruin bars. A night out here might just be your highlight of the trip!

  • Day 11 Day 11: Budapest
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 11: Budapest

      Enjoy a free day to explore Budapest further today. Visible from pretty much everywhere in the city, the 13th-century Buda Castle is a must-see. Why not imagine how Hungarian kings used to live by touring the palace complex, which houses the Hungarian National Gallery and the Budapest History Museum. Or you could head to Fishermanโ€™s Bastion for the best view of the city before taking a leisurely stroll along the cobbled streets of the Castle District. Another option is a boat trip along the Danube River, where youโ€™ll get a different view of the Parliament buildings, the Castle District and the bridges that link Buda and Pest. Tonight, find one of the many great dinner spots or head back to the ruin bars for a night out.

  • Day 12 Day 12: Bled
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 12: Bled

      Get ready for a long day of travel today as you make the journey to Ljubljana. From there, youโ€™ll travel to Bled โ€“ a scenic lakeside town tucked at the foothills of the Julian Alps. Arrive in the late afternoon and head to the iconic lake. Here, your leader will point out the townโ€™s best attractions, like its 11th-century clifftop castle and the small island in the lakeโ€™s centre. Use the rest of the day to search for Bledโ€™s famous cream cake (which shouldnโ€™t be hard, every cafe in town claims to make the best one) or choose to join the group for an optional dinner of Slovenian specialties.

  • Day 13 Day 13: Bled
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 13: Bled

      Postcard-perfect Bled (the perfect spot if you need a new banging Instagram) is also tailor-made for adventure, and as today is a free day, itโ€™s up to you how youโ€™d like to get active (or chill out and stare at the scenery โ€“ it never gets old). Hiking, biking, canoeing and rafting are all on the cards so you can choose to hire a bike and explore the surrounds, head to Vintgar Gorge for a walk through its natural canyon or go rafting along the Soca River. If youโ€™d like to keep it more lowkey, head to Bled Castle for some exploration or take a plenta (small wooden boat) to the church on the island in the middle of the lake to ring the wishing bell. You could even venture further afield and take a day trip to Bohinj โ€“ another lakeside town.

  • Day 14 Day 14: Venice
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 14: Venice

      This morning, travel to Venice โ€“ brace yourself for some amazing scenery on the way. Venice is one of a kind, built over a hundred small islands connected by 400 bridges. As well as all those romantic canals, it has all the hallmarks of a fine old Italian city โ€“ world-class food, performance, art and architecture. Use your free time to explore โ€“ the best way to go is on foot. Try to take in all the famous sights, like the Grand Canal, the shops of the Rialto Bridge, the Palace of the Doge (ruler of Venice), the Piazza San Marco and its golden basilica, and the Bridge of Sighs. Donโ€™t even think about leaving until youโ€™ve eaten some tiramisu! This is where the dish was born, and they know how to do it just right.

  • Day 15 Day 15: Venice
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 15: Venice

      Today is free to explore Venice at your own pace until a group meeting at 6 pm tonight. Until then, maybe window shop by the Ponte di Rialto, browse the famous flooding bookshop โ€“ Libreria Acqua Alta (the self-proclaimed โ€˜most beautiful bookshop in the worldโ€™) or jump in a gondola and be swept away by the romance of this place. Tonight, why not get together for dinner at Orient Experience โ€“ a restaurant providing employment, support and advocacy to Veniceโ€™s migrant and refugee community with a menu inspired by their journeys to get to Europe.โ€ฏ

  • Day 16 Day 16: Verona / Lake Garda
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 16: Verona / Lake Garda

      Say farewell to Venice this morning as you leave the canals behind and make your way to Verona โ€“ the city that played backdrop to the most famous love story ever told. An orientation walk with your leader will take you around the city and into the courtyard where you can gaze up at Julietโ€™s balcony (keep an eye out for Romeo lurking around the place). Youโ€™ll also go past Arena di Verona โ€“ a Roman amphitheatre that still plays host to live performances. Built in AD30 the theatre is one of the best-preserved ancient structures of its kind and is even older than the Colosseum! See if you can find some Sfogliatine di Villafranca (a much-loved crumbly puff pastry dessert invented in Verona). After an afternoon of exploring, jump back on the train and head to Lake Garda. Tonight, find a lakeside restaurant for dinner with your new travel buddies.

  • Day 17 Day 17: Lake Garda
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 17: Lake Garda

      Wake up today in the lakeside region of Lake Garda. On the banks of the largest lake in Italy, youโ€™ll have free time to explore at your leisure. As one of the most beautiful small towns on the lake, Peschiera del Garda packs a punch, with plenty to see. Wander along the canals and rivers and make your way down to the lakefront where you can take a dip in the turquoise waters or grab some lunch at one of the many restaurants. At the UNESCO World Heritage Site Peschiera del Garda fortress, you can learn how the Republic of Venice defended itself between the 16th and 17th centuries. Tonight, why not grab your group and watch the sunset over the water while sipping on an Aperol spritz or a negroni (or two!).

  • Day 18 Day 18: Parma
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 18: Parma

      Leaving the banks of Lake Garda this morning, youโ€™ll make your way to the beautiful city of Parma. As a food lovers paradise, get ready to sample all the traditional delicacies Parma has on offer. When you arrive, your leader will take you around the city on an orientation walk, before leaving you to explore at your own pace. Wander the colourful streets of this gem in the heart of northern Italy, famously the birthplace of Prosciutto di Parma and Parmigiano Reggiano. Once youโ€™ve eaten all the cured hams and aged cheeses you can handle (although can you ever really get enough?), maybe check out some incredible art history and the intricately frescoed ceilings in the Duomo di Parma, or head about an hour out and visit the largest labyrinth in the world โ€“ Labirinto di Franco Maria Ricci.

  • Day 19 Day 19: La Spezia
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 19: La Spezia

      Today, youโ€™ll head to La Spezia, the gateway to Cinque Terre, nestled in the hills of northern Italy and on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Today is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a day at the beach, soak up some sun and eat all the seafood you can stomach. You can also jump on the bus and take a day trip out to the unofficial โ€˜sixth townโ€™ of Cinque Terre, Portovenere. On the tip of a peninsula, this small finishing town is surrounded by ocean. Full of history, maybe walk out to the 12th century Doira Castle or find literary inspiration at the Grotta di Lord Byron โ€“ a popular swimming cove that inspired the author itโ€™s named after. Today is all about enjoying the Mediterranean coast, so make it your own! Donโ€™t forget to check in with your leader to find the best places that only the locals know.

  • Day 20 Day 20: Cinque Terre / La Spezia
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 20: Cinque Terre / La Spezia

      Welcome to Cinque Terre! One of the most beautiful coastal stretches in Italy. Historically, long walking trails were the only way to travel between the villages, which means that other than the incredible views, youโ€™ll also have some hiking opportunities. Today, your leader will take you on a hike through some of these tracks, with the Mediterranean Sea in sight the whole time. Walking past terraced farms and through coastal forests, this is the perfect way to discover this part of Italy. After your hike, the rest of the day is yours. Maybe make your way down to a beach club and soak in the sun, or join a traditional pesto making demonstration for some tricks you can take home. Alternatively, hop on a boat and take a cruise around the coast to see the rolling hills from a different perspective.

  • Day 21 Day 21: Pisa / Florence
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 21: Pisa / Florence

      Say arrivederci to Cinque Terre this morning and make your way to Pisa. When you arrive, head over to the Piazza del Duomo where youโ€™ll find the Battistero di San Giovanni, Cattedrale di Pisa and of course the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Join the crowds and get your very own picture holding up the tower or challenge your group to come up with the most original photo. Youโ€™ve got free time for the next few hours, so why not ask your leader for the best places to sample some salami, a few cheeses or where to get the best glass of Tuscan wine? Maybe try some Cecina Toscana (traditional flatbread) too. Leave Pisa mid-afternoon, and head for Florence, where your leader will take you on an orientation walk around the city. Ask them to point out any hot spots for dinner and drinks tonight, and where you can jump on an optional food tour or experience happy hour the Italian way (second aperitivo, anyone?).

  • Day 22 Day 22: Florence
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 22: Florence

      Today you have a full day to explore one of the most beautiful cities in Italy โ€“ Florence. Home to the great Michelangelo, why not visit the Accademia Gallery and see David himself, or visit his replica and other Rennaissance sculptures in the Piazza della Signoria. If youโ€™re feeling up for a bit of a challenge, walk the 463 steps to the top of the Duomo and get one of the best 360 views of Florence. Hunt through the streets and see how many wine windows you can find (there are over 180!), taking full advantage of the quirky little holes in the wall that were originally put in so Florentines could still enjoy a glass of vino during times of plague. Tonight, come together as a group and enjoy a sunset aperitivo in Piazzale Michelangelo before heading out for the night.

  • Day 23 Day 23: Rome
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 23: Rome

      Your time in Firenze has come to an end. Today, youโ€™ll be heading to the illustrious capital city โ€“ Rome. Walking in the footsteps of emperors, conquerors, gladiators and philosophers, the streets of Rome are steeped in history. Follow your leader on an orientation walk and get the lay of the land before heading off to explore. The Roman Colosseum (one of the Seven Wonders of the World) is a must-see for most, whether you admire the architectural marvel from the outside or immerse yourself in the history from the inside. If youโ€™re looking for more ancient Roman architecture, check out the Forum (now home to a colony of cats). You can also talk to your leader about heading out to Vatican City where you can climb St Peterโ€™s Dome or visit the Vatican Museum and check out Michelangeloโ€™s Sistine Chapel. Tonight, your leader can help you find the best place for dinner to toast to the end of your adventure.

  • Day 24 Day 24: Rome
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 24: Rome

      Your trip comes to an end this morning and itโ€™s time to say goodbye to your group. As there is so much to see in Rome, itโ€™s recommended that you stay a little longer and book a few more days โ€“ just speak to your booking agent.
