Location: London, Dover, Calais, Amsterdam
Accommodation Name: Ibis Schiphol Amsterdam Airport (or similar)
Meals Included: Dinner
The adventure of a lifetime kicks off today. Meet up with your new Contiki family in London town before hitting the road to Amsterdam. Shortly before we find our ferry for France, we'll be taking in the English coastline beauty of the White Cliffs of Dover. They owe their gorgeousness to their composition of chalk - you're learning and we haven't even left the UK! Off the ferry we arrive in the port town of Calais - French soil! We travel north through Belgium and on to Amsterdam! And here we are at our final stop for this evening: Amsterdam! After dinner there's plenty of nightlife to keep you going until the early hours.
Day 2: Amsterdam
Location: Amsterdam
Accommodation Name: Ibis Schiphol Amsterdam Airport (or similar)
Meals Included: Breakfast
Amsterdam is cute as a button & sure to win your heart with its canals, obscure museums & a café culture like no other. Today use your time to get local, bar hop, museum crawl, and see what other tastes take your fancy, this place is famous for pancakes, frites and so much more. You can start your exploration of this city with an optional trip up to the A’DAM tower and swing (with drink in hand) for panoramic views over the city. After exploring, you'll want to join your new Contiki family for an optional dinner at a local fishing village and maybe a few drinks aboard a cruise on the canals. Could today get any better?
Day 3: Amsterdam To Hamburg
Location: Amsterdam, Hamburg
Accommodation Name: Super 8 by Wyndham Hamburg Mitte (or similar)
Meals Included: Breakfast
Out of Amsterdam, onto the autobahn and on the fast-track to Hamburg – that's today's agenda. Crossing over to Germany, we find ourselves in another charming city dotted with canals and cafes, along with a central city lake and plenty of parks. We’ll acquaint ourselves with Hamburg by starting with an orientation of the city, before free time to find some dinner tonight.
Day 4: Hamburg To Copenhagen
Location: Hamburg, Odense, Copenhagen
Accommodation Name: Scandic Sydhaven (or similar)
Meals Included: Breakfast
Hamburg, it’s been sweet, but we have our sights set on another famous port city. And first... On our way to wonderful Copenhagen today, we’ll also pass via Odense, the birthplace of Hans Christian Anderson. With cobbled streets and colourful houses in a historic district full of character, it’s easy to see where his inspiration came from. Constantly named amongst the most livable cities in the world (along with one of the happiest), Copenhagen greets us with craft beer breweries, a Renaissance-era castle, hip bars and cafes, a walkable city centre and - you guessed it - more canals. This evening you'll have time to find dinner in one of the local spots.
Day 5: Copenhagen
Location: Copenhagen
Accommodation Name: Scandic Sydhaven (or similar)
Meals Included: Breakfast
Copenhagen is an artwork of locals on bicycles, Danish pastries in cute café windows, and Renaissance architecture. Being a bustling university town and home to the hippie hood of Freetown Christiana, nightlife, and unique culture can be found at every turn.
Day 6: Copenhagen To Berlin
Location: Copenhagen, Berlin
Accommodation Name: Ibis Berlin Messe (or similar)
Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner
Before you go bursting out of your travel clothes thanks to your new-found Danish pastry dependency, we're saying ‘farvel’ to Denmark. Next stop: the ferry, then Berlin! On the world map of party vibes, Berlin has a gold star. We've got two nights to explore every inch of this iconic city, and we'll kick it off with a bit of a tour of the city and its troubled but fascinating past. Once we've gotten acquainted with the key sites, we'll enjoy an included dinner together.
Day 7: Berlin
Location: Berlin
Accommodation Name: Ibis Berlin Messe (or similar)
Meals Included: Breakfast
Tours, glorious tours! After our taster of Berlin's history yesterday, we’ll have two inspiring walking tours in store for today (totally optional of course). First up, take a historical walking tour, including a visit to the site of Hitler's bunker. Next, we’ll embark on an Alternative Berlin walking tour, taking us to all the city’s hipster haunts and historical hotspots. If you're looking for a night out, tonight is the perfect time to scope out one of those underground raves or cocktail-lounge-in-the-basement scenarios that Berlin is famous for.
Day 8: Berlin To Warsaw
Location: Berlin, Warsaw
Accommodation Name: Ibis Budget Warszawa Centrum (Warsaw, Poland)
Meals Included: Breakfast
This morning we'll motor out of Berlin, ready for our next city. Berlin is one tough act to follow, but we think Poland will deliver. The capital of Poland has a vibrant urban scene and we’re staying right in the centre of it. Tonight you’ll have free time for dinner, so Pierogi (Polish dumplings) and a glass of compote somewhere within Warsaw's lively cafe scene should be on your agenda - just ask your Trip Manager for the best local hangs.
Day 9: Warsaw
Location: Warsaw
Accommodation Name: Ibis Budget Warszawa Centrum (Warsaw, Poland)
Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner
Ready to discover Warsaw? Tragic bombings after the war have seen this city experience a re-birth, and it's packed with museums, a buzzing street art scene, and cool vibes dotted with a dose of random to keep us on our toes. Your local guide will give you the insider track as we take it all in on foot. A renowned musical city, keep your ears open day long and see what sound pleasures you also stumble upon. This evening we’ll be treated to an authentic Polish feast tonight to conclude our introduction to this lively European city & celebrate the final night of our trip.
Day 10: End Warsaw
Location: Warsaw
Meals Included: Breakfast
With a heavy heart it’s time to wave ‘pa!’ to Warsaw and to our trip as we go our separate ways today. But we’ll take away a world of memories and look forward to more adventures to come.
