THE ONE THAT FITS IN THE BEST OF EUROPE’S ICONS FOR THOSE SHORT ON TIME.

Start the clock: you have 8 countries to see in one trip. It can be done! And with 6 World Heritage Sites, snails & champagne in Paris, a chalet in the Swiss Alps & a private boat through the canals of Venice, the European Horizon is proof it can be done very, very well indeed.
WHAT YOU GET
10 nights accomodation
5 nights in Hotel, 1 night in Hostel, 3 nights in Contiki Special Stay, 1 night in Contiki Village
Spend a night in Contiki's very own Austrian Gasthof, two in our Swiss Chalet, another in our Venetian Cabin Village, 2 in hostels and 3 nights in hotels will be thrown in for good measure.
15 included Meals
6 Dinner, 9 Breakfast
Tantalise your tongue with a European taste sensation as we embark on a journey through Swiss, Dutch, Austrian and German cuisines (read: cheese, cheese and cheese sausages). 9 continental breakfasts will be included, as well as 6 tasty dinners.
Team
Expert Trip Manager, Driver and Local Guides
A highly trained Trip Manager who brings your adventure to life. An expert driver who knows foreign roads better than Google Maps. Local Guides who make tourist traps a thing of the past. This is your team. Smart, friendly, fun, and integral to everything we do.
Transport
All transport included during the trip
Included in your trip is transport across Europe on our fleet of comfy, state of the art coaches. They're kitted out with all the necessities: USB charge points, WiFi, Air Con and a rocking sound system. You bring the other essentials, like tunes, friendships and stories from the night before.
Your group
Travel with other 18-35 year olds from around the world
Our trips are exclusively 18-35. This means you'll be travelling with people just like you, from all over the world- laughter and friendships always guaranteed.
Experiences
16 included, 12 optional that you can add
All the best bits of each city are included as standard. Picture yourself munching macarons under the Eiffel Tower, navigating the snaking canals of Venice by private boat and partying in uber-cool clubs on our legendary party nights.
