Spain, France, Monaco & Italy

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Spanning the northwestern Mediterranean, this iconic multi-country route connects some of Europe's most celebrated destinations. Spain dazzles with its vibrant cities, flamenco culture, and sun-soaked coastlines, while France entices with world-class cuisine, the glamour of the French Riviera, and historic landmarks. Tiny Monaco packs in Grand Prix racing heritage, Monte Carlo's legendary casino, and superyacht-lined harbours, and Italy rounds out the journey with ancient Roman ruins, Renaissance art, and the sun-drenched landscapes of Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast. Together they offer an unmatched blend of history, culture, gastronomy, and coastal scenery that draws travellers seeking the very best of southern Europe.

Barcelona to Rome Quest — Self-Launched Edition

A 9-day solo-friendly dash from Barcelona along the French Riviera, through Cinque Terre and Pisa to Florence, then south to Sorrento, Capri and Pompeii before finishing in Rome — the same route and headline experiences as Contiki's coach tour, but built on trains, regional buses, ferries and public hydrofoils instead of a private motorcoach. You'll stay in hostels and budget guesthouses (several of them literally the same properties Contiki uses — Beach Hostel in Nice, Sisters Hostel in Sorrento, Generator in Rome), book entry tickets and walking tours direct, and move at your own pace. Costs are approximate 2025/26 backpacker rates in GBP and exclude flights to/from Europe.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Spain, France, Monaco & Italy yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
