DAYS 1-3 ROME, ITALY INCLUDING VATICAN CITY VISIT. Ready to roam Rome? Good! We’ll kick things off with the walking tour to end all walking tours. Pass by the Pantheon, throw your two cents in the Trevi Fountain, sit on the Spanish Steps and visit the mighty Colosseum, where gladiators once risked life and limb. Want more? How about an optional tour of the Vatican or a trip to the archaeological Mecca that is Pompeii? (D) (B) (B)

DAYS 4-5 ROME TO VENICE. You know it as the floating city, but Venice is actually sinking (slowly). Check out a who's who of Venice's usual suspects (including St Mark's Square and Accademia Bridge) on a guided walking tour, then jump on a gondola and explore the Grand Canal. Day two is yours to take it easy. (B,D) (B)
++ ++ ++ ++ ++
DAYS 6-7 VENICE TO MUNICH, GERMANY VIA INNSBRUCK, AUSTRIA. Onwards to Munich, the city where beer is officially considered a food. Slide on your lederhosen and get ready for a royal Happy Hour experience at the 429-year-old Hofbräuhaus. Anyone for an optional segway tour on day two? That’ll be a yes. (B,D) (B)
DAYS 8-9 MUNICH TO PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC. First up: a visit to Dachau concentration camp for a lesson in the resilience of humanity. Then: on to Prague. Soak up some Czech history at the National or Communist Museum or get a taste of the quirky local culture at a marionette puppet opera (you gotta see it to believe it). (B,D) (B)

Tomorrow’s optionals: a Third Reich walking tour and the chance to check out the city’s alternative side. (B,D) (B) (B) DAY 13 BERLIN TO HAMBURG. Hamburg is next!
