A Food And Art Tour Of Europe
We recently partnered with Silver Travel Advisor to offer a Food and Art trip around Europe for the best suggested itinerary.
In September we gave Louise Hammond and Andrew Baxter a chance to take their chosen winning itinerary on the rails, so to speak!
Their Interrail adventure took them through France, Italy and Austria in search of Europe's finest food and most spectacular sights.
Louise tells us in her own words what it was like travelling to all their chosen sights around Europe by train in her day-by-day diary...
Day 1 & 2: London - Dijon
Travelling from home in the UK using the new country of residence rule where Interrail Global Passes can be used from your home station to your point of exit (and return,) Louise and Andrew made their way comfortably by Eurostar and TGV to Dijon on Day 1...
Day 3 & 4: Lausanne - Milan
Leaving Dijon on a TGV train Louise and Andrew spend time in Lausanne while transiting Switzerland and arrive their next destination Milan to experience some stunning Italian architecture and history.
Day 5 & 6: Venice
Upon arrival into Venice our keen Interrailers make every minute count by getting to the markets and taking to the water using the Vaporetto aqua bus. They discover churches and palaces off the beaten track to make a memorable visit.
