Abstract:
"Features: Strategic lists and itineraries for every type of journey: Choose from the best cities, road trips, rail excursions, outdoor adventures, and more, with ideas for first-timers, solo travelers, and families. Can't-miss stops throughout Europe: Hike the craggy cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, hit the road in Iceland to see stunning waterfalls and glaciers, and find your new favorite arrondissement in Paris. See the dramatic Scotland scenery from the window of a historic steam train or unwind on the sundrenched shores of the Greek Islands. Follow in the footsteps of a thousand years of pilgrims along the Camino de Santiago, tap your foot to the tune of traditional music in Ireland, and feel quintessentially Dutch as you cycle past windmills and farmland in the Netherlands. The best local flavors: Sip a hand-pulled pint of frothy Guinness in Dublin or a rich cabernet sauvignon in a vineyard in Bordeaux. Try delicacies like creamy goat cheese in Santorini and fondue in Switzerland. Indulge in a chocolate sachertorte in an elegant Viennese café, savor seafood along the Dalmatian Coast, or pull up a chair in a Roman trattoria for a bowl of cacio e pepe."--Provided by publisher.
