Italy, France & Spain

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Italy, France, and Spain together form the heart of Southern and Western Europe, drawing travellers with an unrivalled mix of history, culture, cuisine, and coastline. Italy captivates with its ancient ruins, Renaissance art, and world-famous food and wine across regions like Tuscany, Sicily, and the Amalfi Coast. France offers everything from the iconic boulevards of Paris and the vineyards of Bordeaux to the glamorous beaches of the French Riviera. Spain rounds out the trio with its vibrant cities — Barcelona, Madrid, and Seville — flamenco culture, stunning architecture, and some of Europe's best nightlife and tapas scenes.

Rome to Barcelona by Train — Self-Launched Edition

A 9-day self-launched rail adventure from Rome to Barcelona, following the same route as Contiki's classic train trip: imperial Rome, the clifftop villages of Cinque Terre, the French Riviera with a Monaco day trip, Montpellier in the Languedoc, and finishing in Gaudí's Barcelona. You book the same intercity trains yourself (Trenitalia, SNCF, Renfe), stay in hostels and budget guesthouses rather than tour hotels, and pick up the same experiences — Cinque Terre hiking card, Riviera bike rides, Sagrada Família, a flamenco night — as self-bookable tickets. No guide, no fixed group, no age cap, and roughly half the price. All costs are approximate backpacker/mid-budget estimates in GBP.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Italy, France & Spain 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: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
