With something to offer art enthusiasts, adventurous foodies, and beach loungers, it’s no wonder that Barcelona is one of Europe’s top destinations.
Dip your feet into the waters of Antoni Gaudí, getting a full look into the imprint he left on his home city. You'll see Park Güell, and, of course, the Sagrada Familia Church, considered his masterpiece. Enjoy skip-the-queue access to enter the church.

Catch your ride to your hotel in Positano, along the Amalfi Coast.
Included by scenset
While most of Italy is about sightseeing, there’s nothing to visit per se on the Amalfi Coast. Instead of lavish churches and ancient monuments, the rugged coastline is the sight, best enjoyed from a hilltop al fresco restaurant, the bow of a yacht, or inside your car while navigating one of the world’s most scenic drives. Amalfi is a luxurious destination with a humble past, where glitzy villas still intermingle with sleepy fishing villages and bucolic lemon orchards.
Venture to the breathtaking Il Sentiero degli Dei, the "path of the Gods", for a hike to remember.
Make your way through paradise on the ancient path that used to connect the sleepy hamlet of Nocelle near Positano to Bomerano in Agerola just outside Naples. Named after the natural beauties of its views, the trail is considered one of the most beautiful hiking trails in the world.
On the hike you will discover the remains of ancient farmhouses and meet local shepherds carrying wood with their mules, or milk to remote towns dotted around the hills and along the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Marvel at the turquoise seas and iconic piazzas, see fine hotels and attractive restaurants, enjoy liaising with the friendly locals and take the opportunity to shop for some charming Amalfi Coast souvenir.
A private driver will be at your disposal for the afternoon, allowing you to create your own itinerary.

Visiting Capri is like stepping into a pop art painting, thanks to splashes of color from the iridescent blue in underwater caverns, the juicy red and green of a Caprese salad, or the almost neon yellow of an after-dinner limoncello.
