Itinerary

Day 1

Create your own Parisian picnic


Your travels begin on the Eurostar to Paris. Our favourite way of getting to know the city is to wander between the boulangeries, fromageries and chocolateries of an authentic Parisian neighbourhood. If you like the sound of that, a clever audio tour helps you fill up your picnic basket with tasty treats to eat somewhere scenic. Later you have lots of restaurants or jazz bars close by.

Day 2

Take the train to Barcelona


Day 3

Soak in stunning views from Montjuic


Day 4

Visit a UNESCO wonder in the hills


Day 5

Eat and drink your way through Barcelona


Day 6

Discover hidden corners of the old town


Day 7

Cycle by day, experience Gaudí at night


Day 8

Return to Paris by train


Day 9

Travel back to London by Eurostar
