Dear Subscriber,
With Switzerland located so centrally we think it's a great place to fly into to begin your European holiday and in this newsletter we highlight some interesting and fun tours. But you don't always need to fly - the Trans Siberian and Silk road railway can get your there, as can a river cruise. Perhaps stop off at Blindekuh or the vodka museum when you arrive! As always, enjoy browsing through this email for ideas and if you have a spare 5 minutes please provide your thoughts in our travel preferences survey.
From the team at Swiss and Europe travel |
A LITTLE DIFFERENT - BLINDEKUH

Located in Zurich and Basel, you will experience a heightened sense of smell, touch, taste and hearing as you dine. Call us to book this 'eye opening' dining sensation for you.

EAT: Tapas24, BARCELONA
Tapas24 — Diputació 269. The newest restaurant from Carles Abellán, is a hip and lively tapas bar that does some of the very best Catalan small-plate nibbles in the whole city. The varying menu features superb versions of classics such as ham
croquettes, grilled sardines, fried baby squid, and steamed clams.
Bear in mind that the siesta in the middle of the day is taken very seriously. Nothing seems to happen between about 12.30 pm and 4pm. The main meal of the day is dinner and it is invariably eaten anywhere between 9 pm and 1am each day. |
