- Day 1 Vienna to Krakow Hello and welcome to Vienna! Say hello to your new crew before we jump right into our very first day of adventure. Today we will change pace once we cross the border, as we drop to an unfamiliar and sobering level by visiting the concentration camp memorials of Auschwitz & Birkenau. Learning and growing is what we travellers do. Then it’s on to the city of Kraków, famed for its beautiful old town and the cool, creative vibes of the Kazimierz district. Settle in tonight - tomorrow’s all about exploring everything this gem has to offer. Locations Visited: Vienna AT, Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum PL, Kraków PL.

Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy a traditional Polish evening and try Pierogi, a Polish favourite - these dumplings are an absolute classic. Locations Visited: Kraków PL.

WOW is probably the one word we hear in unison as we pull up at this jaw dropping lake.

Here's your chance to perfect the holding-up-the-tower shot, so make it a good one.

- Day 12 Swiss Alps to Beaujolais Wine Region via Geneva It’s been sweet, but we’re swapping Switzerland for France this afternoon. But first, there's just time for one last breath of fresh mountain air. A quick lunch break in the home of the UN's headquarters and a view of that oh so famous water fountain. Grab a bite to eat and a last mouthful of delish swiss chocolate (try saying that three times fast) and then we'll be on our way. Rolling into the Beaujolais region of France amidst vineyards, we'll arrive at Contiki’s very own 16th century château. This might just be our most decadent accommodation yet, complete with newly-renovated bedrooms & bathrooms, an on-site nightclub, artwork in every room, a games room, and a powder room for makeup and hair.
