As we make our way to one of Europe's most romantic cities, Venice, the city which stretches across 117 islands. You will begin your evening with a local guided walking tour, learning why Venice is such a 'must see' destination.

Day 7: Jungfrau, Swiss Alps
Enjoy a free day to explore and take in the spectacular local scenery. One of the 'must see' highlights of this tour is to opt to travel to the 'Top of Europe' – Jungfraujoch. The views will leave you breathless (and that isn't just because of the high altitude!). This 4000m glacier has a beauty all of its own, and the combination of ice, snow, rock and epic views will stay with you for life. There is snow all year round, so you can make a snow man or have a snowball fight in the middle of summer!

Day 8: Switzerland to Liechtenstein to Munich
Depart Jungfrau for Germany with a lunch stop in Liechtenstein, the small country sandwiched between Switzerland and Austria. Continuing on, we arrive in Munich. From humble beginnings as a royal wedding celebration to the almost month long Bavarian extravaganza that it has become, the 'Fest' has enough beer, pork, merchandise and amusement park attractions to keep you entertained during our short but fun filled stopover, and what better way to experience local cuisine than at a traditional beer hall.
