Strictly for Foodies

Europe is the food capital of the world and Breakaway meals will reflect this. Continental style breakfasts start each day. Lunches we leave to you, so you can be as adventurous as you like. Dinners are included on around half of your touring nights when you'll dine on regional cuisine in local restaurants: pasta galore in an Italian trattoria, French specialities in a typical bistro, Swiss delicacies at a picturesque Alpine restaurant and tasty Austrian fare with music at a Viennese heurige are just some of the treats dished up for you.

On other nights, you'll certainly want to dine out on your own or with your new friends in one of the restaurants Europe is renowned for. Your Tour Planner can even make reservations! How's that for personal concierge service?

Here is a guide to just some of the best regions for foodies in Europe:

Aix-en-Provence: Unlike the haute cuisine of Paris, charming Aix-en-Provence is alive with grocer's markets and the perfect place to try some rustic French food.

Barcelona: Share the fun and the food at the many fantastic tapas bars in the city. Other things to try are Catalan specialities, such as goose and wild mushrooms.

Florence: The wood-oven pizzas served in trattorias here are hard to beat. Complement your meal with a good drop of Tuscan wine.

Lucerne: Swiss specialities include fondue, raclette (table-top grill where diners heat potatoes, cheese and toppings in individual pans) and Rösti (grated potato patties).

Munich: This is the place for no-nonsense, hearty meals such as Schweinsbraten (roasted pig) and Bratwürstl (sausages). The beers here are also arguably the best in the world.
