If you're looking for an itinerary that covers the best of Europe, this 11-day journey is a concise greatest hits album. Start your adventure in London, a unique metropolis that seamlessly blends old and new. While in London, you'll get acquainted with the city's culture and traditions, as you enjoy an Afternoon Tea on the River Thames or hear the tales of London's historic pubs. You'll also step inside world-class museums that you can visit for free and see the city from the best vantage point: an iconic black taxi.

After attending the Changing of the Guard ceremony or a show at the West End, it's time for your next stop: Paris. From wandering around the most picturesque neighborhoods to marveling at the wonders that await within the walls of the Louvre to joining a tour to the dreamlike Loire Valley, Paris is sure to leave you speechless.

And so will Rome, dubbed the Eternal City for a reason. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Sistine Chapel are only a few of the historic treasures that grace the Italian capital. But Rome is so much more than just its sightseeing. To enjoy Rome to the fullest, you have to indulge in a quintessentially Italian Aperitivo, eat your way through its quaint neighborhoods, and mingle with locals at its vibrant markets.

One of our team members will be available to answer any questions and arrange local services leading up to and during your trip. You will receive access to your Guest Page, with its information on the best these destinations offer, including things to see and do, and other inside tips from restaurant recommendations to tipping advice. Upon request, we will provide you with an eSIM with data that you can use to reach your local JayWay contact (whom you will meet in person) throughout your trip. In all of our destinations, we offer a variety of memorable 3- to 5-star accommodation options, including boutique hotels and charming B&Bs. With our firsthand experience, we can ensure they are all clean, comfortable, and centrally located, with local ambiance.

London is Europe's most fascinating metropolis, home to one of the Old Continent's prettiest riverbanks. For a leisurely introduction to London, we recommend a twilight stroll along the River Thames taking in several of the city's most emblematic landmarks. Starting at Big Ben, Westminster Palace and the Houses of Parliament, stay on this side of the river and walk east along Victoria Embankment, with views of the London Eye ferris wheel on the opposite bank, wandering through the Victoria Embankment Gardens and passing the ancient Egyptian obelisk, Cleopatra's Needle. After Blackfriars Bridge, cross the pedestrian Millennium Bridge. As you do so, spin around and admire the dome of St Paul's Cathedral. Once across, you'll be right by Shakespeare's Globe.

3 Nights in Rome

The capital of Italy is a vibrant, energetic and stylish city. While thoroughly modern in sensibility, Rome is also home to some of the world’s most important works of classic art and architecture. This city has been an epicenter for culture, politics and religion for more than 2,500 years. From the Spanish Steps to the Vatican, there are more than enough sights to keep even the most active tourists busy and even somewhere as popular as Rome you can find places just off the tourist trail and bustling with locals. But it’s also nice to slow down and enjoy Rome’s famous cafes and restaurants, which can be just as beguiling as the buildings. Lounge with an espresso on the Campo de Fiori and watch the changing light on the fountains and the facades. Visit the Vatican and explore some of the world’s most beautiful churches. Rome really comes alive at night, when restaurants and wine bars bring a renewed vitality to the city. You’ll also have opportunities for day trips to local vineyards, olive groves, and other places producing regional delicacies. No matter what your interests, or what kind of holiday you’re looking for, Rome will be an enjoyable destination.

Offerings range from simple nibbles, such as olives and chips, to more substantial dishes, including small pizzas, sandwiches, and pasta salads.
