10 or 13 days
England, France, Spain, extension to Italy

As you witness the shared bonds and unique identities of these iconic destinations, you’ll also experience how the language, landmarks, and culture change from city to city.

Walking through Piccadilly Circus in London, the Latin Quarter in Paris, and Las Ramblas in Barcelona, notice the distinctly different paces of life. Comparing each city’s icons—Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower, and La Sagrada Família—consider how religion, royalty, and architecture have influenced their separate histories.
