Barcelona, Nice, Sorrento

Long stretches of golden sand, dramatic rocky shores, and turquoise waters await you on this 10-day itinerary across some of Europe's most enchanting coastal cities and towns, along with delicious and varied cuisines. Your trip starts in Barcelona, the city that Gaudi graced with his genius and adorned with numerous spectacular buildings. Apart from chilling at the urban beach of La Barceloneta, from Barcelona, you can also explore the famed Costa Brava before you continue your trip to Nice, the perfect city to use as a gateway to the entire French Riviera and its charms. No trip to discover the coastal gems of Europe would be complete without a stop at Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast. From getting lost in the quaintness of the small towns that dot this part of Italy to taking a ferry to the cosmopolitan island of Capri, the Amalfi Coast is the perfect ending to your fascinating European adventure.

3 Nights in Barcelona

Barcelona is a city with a big historic legacy. Its origins can be traced back to the 1st-century BC when it became the Roman colony of Barciro. Today Antoni Gaudí’s Modernist architecture has become the main attraction for visitors from all over the world. Barcelona has two UNESCO listings covering nine buildings. Seven of them are by Gaudi! Despite its age, a youthful, energetic city vibe can be felt in all Barcelona’s quarters. Embrace your hidden love of Gothic aesthetics followed by Catalan cuisine with a private chef and finish your evening with a ramble on La Rambla, the heart of social Barcelona. So whether you feel like a picnic overlooking the beach-fronted La Estrella Herida, a private tapas tour throughout the city, or a stroll through the Gaudi-inspired Park Güell, there is something for everyone!
