CHRISTMAS/FESTIVALS

Sometimes the best things come in small packages, just like our Short Trips & Festivals. These babies are designed to celebrate life’s most magical events (think Christmas, New Year, Oktoberfest, or Sziget, arguably one of Europe’s coolest festivals), and are also all about maximising the time you have in some of Europe’s key cities (London, Berlin, Paris, Barcelona & Madrid). Whatever the occasion, these trips make it that little bit more special. Do them as standalone travel experiences or (even better) tag them onto the start or end of another Contiki trip. Have you every dressed all-out orange for Amsterdam King’s Day? 

Or spent New Years getting well and truly lit, vegas style? Perhaps you’ve always fancied a stylish Parisian Christmas (who hasn’t?) Time to book that mini-break, chances are you deserve it. This glorious globe has an abundance of unique festivals just waiting to be explored by you and your travel squad. If you’re someone who likes drama, excitement and colour, or you’re simply a certified Christmas junkie, these tours will be right up your alley. After all, you’ll never know the true meaning of Christmas until you’ve spent a day at a European Christmas market. Take it from us…
