It’s time to leave everything behind and travel to Venice, where we will commence this marvellous Eurotrip for Students that you will never forget. We will be waiting for you in this beautiful Italian city, the city of the canals.
Fall in love with this city! Venice is one of the most photographed places in the world. Don’t waste time, grab your camera and find your inner photographer; bridges, Vaporettos and Gondolas are all waiting to be snapped!
Appreciate the Basilica of San Marco, whose Murano glasswork has obvious byzantine influence, as do the multicoloured little houses of Burano!
*Optional Activity:
- Venice pack: Includes visit to Murano and Burano: Visit these two islands of the Venetian lagoon.
Did you know that…
- The last bridge built in Venice was designed by a Spanish architect: Calatrava.
- Every so often in Venice a phenomenon called “Acqua Alta” occurs. Which causes a steep rise in the level of water in the lagoon of Venice, usually lasts about 3 – 4 hours. Depending on the intensity with which it occurs it can flood, with half a meter of water, most of the historic center.
- Cars are not allowed in the centre of Venice, not even bicycles they are both forbidden, you may even get fined! The only way to get around the city is on foot or by water.
- Although, when walking around Venice, you may get the impression that there are loads of channels, there are only 2: Canal Grande and Canal Giudecce. The rest of the small canals that flow between the narrow streets are called rivers.
It is time to say “arrivederci” to Italy on this Eurotrip for Students! Another day.. another country, Germany! Today we will see the Neuschweinstein castle, also known as the Mad King’s Castle.
The castle will remind you of Walt Disney story! From there, we will cross the part of Bavaria to reach Munich, its capital, famous por Oktoberfest… and Bayren! We’ll start the engines and prepare ourselvs to taste the typical beverage here: BEER!
Today on this Eurotrip for Students we will wake up in Germany. During the moring we will get the chance to explore Munich. We will also give you the chance to come with us on an optional activity or you could also stay in Munich, get some rest and explore on your own.
Munich is not only a rich, modern and lively city… it has a lot of history as well. That’s why we will stop to visit its cathedral ad the Marien Platz which has the famous gothic-style town hall clock, which is made up of 43 bells and 32 life-sized figures that move to the rhythm of the daily chimes.
*Optional Activity
Munich Pack: Panoramic stadium bus tour + BMW Factory + Englischer Garten + Guided visit to Munich’s old town: 10€
We’ll continue in Germany, board our Unibus on this Eurotrip for Students which will take us towards the River Main, and the financial centre of Germany: Frankfurt. Today, we have quite a long journey ahead of us, so we advise you to get comfortable, relax, and enjoy the views of the rolling hills of southern Germany.
The fifth largest city in Germany, Frankfurt has an important history and economy. Similar to most of German cities, it was left destroyed after the Second World War and has since been reconstructed completely. Today, it’s an important economic and financial hub in Europe, sometimes known as “the financial capital of the European Union”. It is known for its impressive gothic St Bartholomew’s gothic Cathedral, which, throughout its life has become a symbol for national unity in Germany, and also for the botanical gardens and the medieval architecture of the famous “Römer” house.
Did you know that…
- The city is headquarters of one of the largest architectural libraries in the world with more than 130,000 volumes, belonging to the Architectural Institute of Germany
- The city has a longer name than you’d think: the official name of Frankfurt is “Frankfurt am Main”, coming from the river Main that flows through the city
- The frankfurter sausage was born in this city under the name FrankfurterWürstchen around 1860 urter sausage was born in this city under the name FrankfurterWürstchen around 1860
Guten Morgen Deutschland! With a lot of energy on this Eurotrip for Students, we will visit the centre of Cologne, the city famous for its waters and for the most gothic cathedral of all cathedrals! We will start our day looking at the incredible views the city has to offer from the other side of its famous bridge. We can add a lock to the hundreds of others on the bridge, have some lunch, as in the afternoon, the free city of Amsterdam awaits us!
By the afternoon we’ll arrive in Amsterdam, dump our bags, and go straight out to enjoy the famous Red Light District by night. The night is young and life is short, let’s go have fun!
Culture and liberal politics have made Amsterdam a world reference for liberal people, especially those who push for the legalization of soft drugs (marijuana and hashish) and the legalization of prostitution.
But Amsterdam is not just coffee shops and red light district, take a walk through the Van Gogh Museum, Rembrandt museum, the Moco or Rijksmuseum or visit the Anne Frank House, and if you fancy a beer, Heineken is your star choice!
* Optional Activities
Boat trip on the Amsterdam Canals: €10
Visit to Anne Frank’s Museum* (skip the line): €18
Did you know that…
- The facade of numerous houses that populate Amsterdam lean forwards. The explanation for this is that its architects built them feeling that, given their narrowness, the best way to get furniture into the house is through the top story windows. Therefore every house has a hook on its rooftop and furniture can be hoisted to prevent the it from crashing into the facade
- Amsterdam is the most liberal city in the world, so we think. It was the first city in the world to legalize same sex marriage, marijuana and prostitution
- Most men and women are tall in Amsterdam. Men measure an average of 184 cm and women 170 cm
More info regarding the coffee shops:
Today on our unforgettable Eurotrip for Students, we will visit another BENELUX country, after the NE, we willl take the BE from Belgium, the heart of the EU.
When we arrive in Brussels, you will have to decide what you want to do. Life is a sequence of decisions, and today you will have to make another one!
You can stay in Brussels rest and get the energy you need to face the rest of the tour, and enjoy its parks and avenue full of shops of all kinds, or you can hop on the Unitrips bus that will head to the north of Belgium, in the direction of Ghent and Bruges, the 2 flamenco cities par excellence. We will start this unmissable optional activity visiting the beautiful and university city of Ghent and then we will head to Bruges, which is the most visited city in Belgium, ahead of the capital. On the way back we will also stop at the Atomium to take some pictures.
Here you will be delighted to see how well these two medieval cities were preserved where the medieval architectural style of Northern Europe has remained intact!
*Actividad Opcional:
- Optional excursion (Bruges-Ghent – Atomium)
Brussels, despite being a modern city and not particularly large, is the capital of Belgium and of all of Europe. This decision was made due to its central position and the fact it belonged to the union of countries that was the seed of the current European Union.
Many international organizations, such as the EEC and the European Parliament, are based here.
Which explains why it is easier to meet diplomats in the street then to spot planes flying over the city.
Tonight…get ready to enjoy one of the most beautiful squares in Europe … which is even more beautiful after a couple of Belgian beers!
Did you know that…
- The famous Manneken Pis statue in Brussels, also known as meón child, is not the original. There have been silent replacements of the statue due to it being damaged and stolen by vandals repeatedly.
- The three typical delights of Brussels are: frites, waffles and beer
- There are many types of beer in Brussels, and the Delirium bar is one of the most picturesque, collecting them all
- There is a wellspring of hot water, cold water and sparkling water in the middle of the city, located at the Gare Central
- Some of its universities follow the Flemish method of education, while others remain French
We’ll say our goodbyes to the amazing Brussels on this Eurotrip for Students!
It’s time to Set our GPS in the direction of where we’ve all been waiting for… Paris!! After breakfast we will head towards “The City of Lights”. It’s known for being the cosmopolitan capital of France and also it’s one of the most populated and visited cities of Europe. The city of Love
*Optional Activity
París by night: 12€.
Did you know that…
- Eiffel Towe is 18 cm higher in summer, given the expansion of iron.
- Why Paris is called City of Light? Its because many burglaries used to take place, so the mayor ordered putting candles in all windows, until gas lamps were installed on the streets.
- A problem called “Paris Syndrome“ affects many Japanese who arrive to the city with very high expectations which are not fulfilled during their visit so they suffer great disappointment. There is even a phone line available 24 hours a day for victims of the syndrome.
We’ll wake up in Paris and after having eaten a croissant, we’ll begin our route in Paris, we only need to choose where to start! You don’t have to be in love to enjoy Paris. We’ll visit the most characteristic places in Paris, we’ll walk along the Senne river until we get to the Notre Dame, the most famous gothic cathedral in the world, covered with gargoyles. We’ll make our way towards the Louvre and snap a photo with the famous pyramids and continue onto the Place de la Concorde.
Today will be your last day in Paris, and we’ve let you time to see any places you still have unchecked on the list. Of course we’ll give you some tips on what to do 🙂
Now is the time to go to the Louvre and enjoy its endless exhibitions, or at least wink at the Mona Lisa.
Perhaps if you prefer modern architecture you’ll find your place amongst the futuristic skyscrapers of La Defense.
Do you prefer the exotic and multicultural? There’s a very interesting area called Belleville where the Lord Malaussene used to live
If you want to see a bit of Italy in Paris don’t hesitate to visit the gardens of Luxembourg, which were owned by Maria dei Medici, and on the way appreciate the Pantheon, the Sorbonne (the top university in France) and stroll through the Latin Quarter and its thousands of pubs.
Make the most of your last day of the Eurotrip for Students… because at night we will take the bus back to Madrid. (around 16 hours on the bus).
We will cross the border n the morning, bright and early, and arrive in the north of Spain. You’ll get to Spain through the windows as we drive across the country and end up where it all began: Madrid.
