Five untrodden European paths

Five untrodden European paths

In a world that can often feel small and at times all too familiar, it may surprise you to know there are still new experiences to unearth.

Despite the constant photographs on social media and endless guidebooks, we’ve done some research to find out where these phantom cities are, and which paths are still waiting to be trodden.

Where you ask?

These experiences are available on Insight Vacations 2018 tours and can be booked now on the Insight Vacations website.
