Amalfi Coast, Italy


6
A continent of contrasts
Explore Italy from its bustling cities and renowned historical
sights, to the lush green rolling hills of Tuscany and dazzling
Amalfi Coast. Visits to Spain and Portugal will be met with warm,
long summer days and an animated nightlife that continues into
the small hours of the morning. Lose yourself in the romance
of Paris, before spoiling yourself in the stunning wine regions
of southern France. Stand in awe of the vast snowcapped
mountains of Switzerland, take in the majesty and pageantry of
the United Kingdom and bear witness to some of history’s most
mysterious creations in Egypt. Eastern Europe offers a distinct
ambience with the chance to view some of the world’s most
remarkable architecture in countries such as Latvia, Estonia and
Lithuania, and in Prague, Budapest and Vienna bask in the warm
and welcoming nature of the local people.

Iconic sights
Imagine yourself standing before the extraordinary Colosseum
in Rome, the phenomenal Pyramids of Giza, the stunning Ring
of Kerry in Ireland, the twinkling lights of the Eiffel Tower in Paris
or St Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow. These are simply a taste of
the many utterly spectacular sights you’ll visit on your First Class
European Trafalgar tour.

Another exceptional benefit of choosing to travel with Trafalgar


– our passengers don’t wait in line. You will be chauffeur driven
right to the very doorstep of every major sight during your tour
and, with your pre-arranged entry ticket in hand, will progress
straight to the front of the line ensuring you spend your valuable
time as you want – soaking up the magical atmosphere.

Trafalgar’s Hidden Treasures


Over the years your Tour Director has discovered many
European secrets. They know all the local sights and on your
tour will reveal Europe’s Hidden Treasures () be they
concealed landmarks, monuments, secluded destinations or
sights. Very few other travellers will get the chance to experience
these Hidden Treasures which are exclusively included on every
Trafalgar itinerary.

On the majority of our tours we also provide our passengers with


a state-of-the-art individual audio system to ensure you don’t
miss a minute of enlightening and engaging commentary from
your Tour Director or local guide. Look for this symbol (B) on
your itinerary.

The Passion Play


Once every ten years, the people of Oberammergau re-enact
the legendary story of Christ’s final Passion, an event which
captivates many from around the world. 2010 marks the 41st
time the Passion Play is performed. Witness the most poignant
story ever told with Trafalgar. See tours with this symbol ( ) for
more details.

It’s the people
that make it
8
so special...
Bask in the local hospitality
The fabric of European life is defined not only by the scenery,
the sights you will visit and the food you will taste, but also by
the locals that you meet along the way. Colourful characters,
exuberant baristas and waiters, soulful musicians, charismatic
entertainers and friendly hotel staff will add that extra special
spark to an unforgettable journey.

Friendships to last a lifetime


One of the key ingredients of your Trafalgar touring
experience is your fellow travellers. With Trafalgar, you have
the chance to explore Europe with like minded people who
come from an array of English-speaking countries including
Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and America, all
with one thing in common - to experience a hassle-free and

In Venice and Amsterdam you will take leisurely canal cruises
and we offer scenic sailings to the beautiful Greek Islands, down
the Nile, the Danube and the Rhine. For a complete change of
pace, you can travel by traditional Irish horse-drawn jaunting cars,
quaint funiculars, alpine cable cars and gravity defying cog
wheel railways.

environmentally friendly ways. According to The Department for
