Who are Contiki Highlights trips best for?

If you want to experience the very best of a country, region or destination, balancing iconic sights, local discoveries and time to soak it all in, Highlights is your Travel Style.

How are Highlights different from Originals?

Originals focus on classic multi-country European adventures. Highlights focus on one destination or region, giving you more time to experience what makes that place special.
