THE CONTIKI
DIFFERENCE
EuropE off-pEakRoam Europe off-peak with Contiki. Covered in winter charm. Not covered in tourists. And at significant lower prices. Which means more pizza, pasta, espresso, gelato, cannoli, tiramisu, and olive oil than you can imagine. That means you can enjoy all the monuments, adventures, and attractions Europe has to offer without breaking the bank.
MorE choicEEndless trips, infinite possibilities, happiness guaranteed. Want a trip that sees you sitting in the sauna after a long day on the slopes? No problem. Rather be shuffling your way through a manic medina in Marrakech? Thats cool too. With endless trips to choose from, disappointment is an impossible outcome.
TravEl ExpErTsEnough experience and enthusiasm to cover a Dutch flower field. Take half a century of experience, team it with endless enthusiasm, and youve got yourself a company known world over as the experts of travel.
BEsT valuEWe offer value were proud of, that cannot be matched. We dare you to try proving otherwise. We dare you to try doing this any other way for less cash. Our value for money means you have more left over to spend on the important things. Like French perfume or a bottle of vino from the Rhine Valley.
MorE includEdDo more; open your wallet less. Thats our motto. Breakfasts and boat rides, cheese farms and Chianti wine tastings, regal churches and river cruises. With our suite of inspiring inclusions youll be doing more and opening your wallet less.
18-35 YEar olds onlYTravel with those who share your youthful curiosity and healthy dose of maturity. Its not about being hyper-selective. Its about ensuring we get a posse together thats in the same frame of mind. Sharing a youthful curiosity and a healthy dose of maturity is paramount to having an insanely good time.

Tyrol, AUSTrIAN AlPSNothing says legitimate winter quite like a frolic in the Austrian Alps. Tyrol is a haven of natural beauty and chance for adrenalin. And it just so happens we have an amazing Austrian Gasthof for you to stay in.
Visited on 2 of our trips. See the Ski Austria trips on p.47 to get a sample.
Fez, Morocco Whilst summers can be sizzling, the rest of the year is the positively perfect temperature. Seeped in medieval magic and boasting a medina that puts the x in exotic, its impossible to walk away from this place uninspired.
Visited on 3 of our trips. See the Spain, Morocco & Portugal trip on p.39 to get a sample.
lISboN, PorTUgAlThe architecture, the fresh seafood, the unique culture, the vintage trams; theres too much to love about the hilly capital of Portugal.
Visited on 2 of our trips. See the Iberian Peninsula & Morocco trip on p.38 to get a sample.
KrAKow, PolANdThere is something of a renaissance happening in Poland, and the former capital of Krakow is no exception. A Jewish Quarter, a Cathedral, a Royal Castle and an Old Market Square make this creamy coloured city a place to remember.
Visited on 4 of our trips. See the European Trail trip on p.24-25 to get a sample.
rhINe VAlley, gerMANyApart from being breathtakingly beautiful and boasting castles and pretty mountainside towns galore, the Rhine Valley has a wonderful knack for producing world-class wines. We cant ask for much more than that, can we?
Visited on 4 of our trips. See the European Discovery trip on p.19 to get a sample.
bUdAPeST, hUNgAryBudapests famous outdoor thermal pools set amongst Art Nouveau architecture are quite enough to satisfy a visit. Then theres the pretty river, the Royal Palace and the Chain Bridge - theyre just the sour cream on the goulash. Mmmm, goulash.
Visited on 6 of our trips. See the Trail to Rome on p.27 to get a sample.
grANAdA, SPAINGranada, nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains is best known for the Alhambra, a grand, sprawling hilltop fortress but is also home to delicious tapas, cool street art and exciting nightlife.
Visited on 3 of our trips. See the Spanish Spree trip on p.37 to get a sample.
FloreNceHome to the Duomo, Michelangelos David and world class art, Florence (Firenze) is a Renaissance dream just waiting to be discovered.

Flexibility and Free time
Half the fun of travelling is calling the shots on how you spend your time. Roaming free, doing your own thing, and getting a little lost while discovering local secrets. Our trips give you the chance to do exactly that. Its a choose-your-own-adventure style of travelling that allows you to sign up for optional activities that tickle your wanderlust fancy, or opt for solo time if thats more your jam. We have more flexibility than your local yoga school. Hit contiki.com/metime or look for the
symbol peppered across this brochure to find out more.
a perFect suite oF inclusions
We tailor our trips around what you want, and this doesnt stop at the map. It carries on into what we include AND what we dont include. Sometimes you want to choose where you grab a meal - we get that. Most mornings you need your breakfast dished up pronto and you want some incredible experiences included in your day and included in the price - we get that too. Big sites, the right tickets and unique experiences youve never even imagined are what we do best.
INCLUDED EXPERIENCES
ME TIME
Important: ME Time optional activities are not included in the price of your trip. They are run by 3rd party operators and on occasion, for some of the activities, travellers may be required to sign a waiver to participate. Before you leave, its important that you check your insurance includes your participation in adventure activities and be aware that some of our optionals can be physically demanding and may involve some risk.
Venice
All the food
What would travelling be without mealtime and local culinary delights? We dare not imagine. Our trips include a fuel-filled breakfast every single day and plenty of eating experiences that mean so much more than satisfying hunger. Think schnitzel and apple strudel in Austria, gelato in Italy, a cheese farm in Holland, and tapas in Spain. The rest of the time is yours to explore the foodie haunts that call your name.

CONTIKI CARES
VALUING OUR RELATIONSHIPSResponsible travel is as much about the communities we touch and friendships we make as it is our actions and choices. Heres just a taster of these:
FORTISSIMO, ITALYThe relationship with Fortissimo, our Italian ground handlers, began back in 1968 when Contiki met a young Paulo Fortini, Fortissimos founder. Opening his business in the 1990s as a result of the continued support of Contiki, Fortissimos continue to provide Contiki with on the ground support in Italy to this day.
HOPFGARTEN, AUSTRIAThe Contiki / Hopfgarten relationship began way back in the winter of 1969, when a van of Contiki travellers on route to the Tyrol region were encouraged to change their plans and spend their trip in Hopfgarten by local ski instructor and ski school owner Lois Biembacher. Fast forward to the present day, and Contiki is completely integrated into the local Hopfgarten community, and Gasthof Schneck. Contiki travellers purchase ski passes, ski lessons and ski hire from local businesses, and take advantage of adventure activities including bob sledding, bike hire and rafting, all of which help to boost the local economy.
ATLAS REIZENGercos story began back in 2000 when he worked under Dick Vermaats, owner of a Dutch coach company that Contiki had used since 1972. When Dick retired, Contiki purchased his fleet of coaches and promoted Gerco to Managing Director of the newly formed company Atlas Reizen. Contikis relationship with Gerco has always been a strong one and as Contiki grew, so did ATLAS. Today, ATLAS has a fleet of 76 Contiki coaches.
