Route ledger · 2026 departures
Historic landmarks, cultural stops and organised transport on one fixed route. Each day lists its city, transport mode, walking level and meals before you book.
Route index
Every stop below states the nights on the ground, the transport that reaches it, and the landmark the day is built around. Use this rail to scan the shape of the tour before you open the full schedule.
Walking levels, meal notes and transfer times sit in the day-by-day itinerary ledger. Extended variants are listed on the itineraries page.
