As modern life is heavily influenced by Germany, we will be heading to Berlin. Berlin is a predominantly modern city that was rebuilt after the Second World War. Understanding Berlin is essential to comprehend the modern world. We will visit landmarks from the Second World War and the Cold War, including a concentration camp. We will have organised tours on both days we are visiting Berlin and you will also have ample free time to explore the city by yourself. Berlin also offers abundant entertainment options for teenagers in the evenings.
We will drive to Fussen, where the Neuschwanstein Castle is located. With a population of fewer than 15,000 people, Fussen offers a tranquil setting.
Our visit to Innsbruck aims to provide the opportunity to see and enjoy the beautiful Alps and the lakes nestled between them. Many people consider the Austrian Alps to be the most beautiful in Europe. Innsbruck is a particularly stunning city and was the host of the 1976 Winter Olympic Games. While we can't guarantee skiing, we can assure you that you'll have the chance to play in the snow. The picturesque environment is more affordable and gentle on your pocket compared to places like Lucerne in Switzerland.
Today, we head to the land of pizza and pasta. We'll drive over, among other things, Eurobruche, into Italy. Our accommodations in Venice will be a youth hostel very close to the main station.. We'll do a city tour of Venice on foot. An optional romantic gondola ride, although a bit expensive for some, is available. This afternoon, you will have free time to explore all the corridors and alleys of Venice. In Venice, mosquito’s can be bothersome when there's no wind, so remember to take precautions.
We will be exploring Rome, an unsurpassed city renowned for its historic sights and art that have been cherished for many centuries.
Our accommodation features a swimming pool and a hangout area, now equipped with the all-important Wifi. Throughout this tour, you will enjoy a great deal of freedom, especially in places like Rome. Nevertheless, it is crucial to understand that there are limits, clearly outlined in the application form, and we strictly adhere to them. Exceeding these limits will not be tolerated.
Regrettably, the hangout in Rome can sometimes lead to clashes with the tour leaders. Please note that during certain times, such as when we are addressing the group, you will be required to put away your cell phones and give your full attention.
Not far from Rome lies Sorrento, and on the way, we will stop at Pompeii. In the afternoon, we will visit the ruins of Pompeii before heading to our accommodation in Sorrento. An optional boat trip to Capri is available, where you'll have a wide range of activities to choose from, including exploring the island on foot, using a Poegie, or taking a taxi. You can also rent a boat to sail around the island and enjoy swimming and diving in the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The world-famous blue grotto of Capri are a fascinating experience, although sometimes the queues can be long.
Our last day in Europe has arrived. We bid farewell to Rome and all of Europe as we depart for Istanbul at 20:00.
