So you get your two weeks of vacation a year. With such a big world out there, how can you possibly choose where to travel?!

The good news is you don’t have to pick just one destination! Thanks to cheap airlines like Ryanair and easyJet, and a slew of budget bus companies, you can cover more ground in Europe than ever before.

Recently, we planned a two week honeymoon that included England, Germany, and Italy. Check out how we did it, and don’t be surprised if your wheels start spinning with possibilities for your next Eurotrip!

Day 1 – Start your journey with an overnight flight to London’s Heathrow Airport.

Day 2 – Arrive in London. Collect baggage and make your way to the Heathrow Express for direct access to the city center. Check into The Arch London and enjoy the rest of the day exploring the home of Dickens, Hitchcock, and many more. Fill up on the city’s best Indian food along Curry Row, an avenue packed with restaurants serving traditional Indian and Bengali fare.

Day 3 – Start your day with a full English breakfast at The Breakfast Club before taking in the sites. You can’t miss Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and Tower Bridge. For dinner, try authentic British cuisine at Goddards at Greenwich. Pie and mash is one of their best-sellers, but if you’re feeling adventurous, go for the jellied eels!

Day 4 –  Free day to explore London, or optional all-day Harry Potter Studio Tour excursion. If you’re a fan, you won’t want to miss this set tour packed with memorabilia, history, and a behind-the-scenes look at the most popular series of this generation. When you arrive back in London, dine on the fish and chips at Golden Union Fish Bar. You can’t leave without trying the city’s most popular street food, and this place has been perfecting it for over 100 years.

Day 5 – Depart from London Luton airport at 5:55 a.m. on easyJet flight EZY 2101 to Berlin Schönefeld. Make your way to the airport train station which will bring you directly to the city center. Check into Hotel am Steinplatz and enjoy the rest of the day exploring Berlin. For dinner try the German specialties at Marjellchen restaurant, including Prussian potato soup, stag-and-boar stew, and goulash. Wash it all down with a German beer for good measure!

Berlin Cathedral

Day 6 – Berlin has a rich history with incredible and emotional sites. Climb to the top of the Berlin Cathedral for amazing views of the city, walk alongside the remains of the Berlin Wall, and take a moment for quiet reflection at the Holocaust memorial. Snack on currywurst, a street food staple of pork sausage smothered in ketchup and curry powder, or pfannkuchen, a jelly doughnut that is the city’s signature treat.

Only small sections of the wall that once split East and West Berlin remain today.

Day 7 – Free day in Berlin, or optional day trip to Potsdam. Easily accessible by train, this neighborhood is quieter than Berlin’s tourist center. Stroll through the grounds of Park Sanssouci, once the summer home of Frederick the Great, King of Prussia. Walk around the Dutch Quarter and you will feel as though you were transported to 18th century Holland. Dine at Cafe Heider for wiener schnitzel and apple strudel that may just bring you to tears.

The French sans souci translates to ‘without worry.’

Day 8 – Depart from Berlin Tegel airport at 7:05 a.m. on Air Berlin flight AB 8820 to Naples. Take the Alibus shuttle to the Napoli Centrale train station and connect to the local train to Sorrento. Stay the night in the historic city of Sorrento at Villa Oriana Relais, or splurge a little on a luxurious hotel in Positano, the classic Italian resort town. Wherever you stay, prepare for insane views of the sea, rolling hills, and some of the best food Italy has to offer.

Day 9 – Take the day to explore the island of Capri. It is easily accessible by on your own by ferry, or as part of a group day tour. Hike or take the chairlift to the top of Monte Solaro for the best views, and swim in one of the islands’ many grottoes. The Blue Grotto is most famous, but unfortunately the most touristy; as an alternative, check out the Green or White Grottoes. Before heading back to the mainland, dine at Da Tonino for typical Caprese fare like octopus over fried potatoes, spaghetti with garlic and oil over clams, and fresh swordfish.

Day 10 – A second full day in the Amalfi Coast gives you the opportunity to explore one of the many colorful cities that make the region so famous. After more than a week of walking, you can also take the opportunity to bum it out at some of the most famous beaches in the world, including the Marina Grande in Positano and Duoglio, located just outside the city of Amalfi.

Day 11 – Take the train back to Napoli Centrale station and take the Frecciarossa (fast train) to Rome. Once you check into Hotel Artemide, start exploring the essential Roman sites including the Colosseum, Pantheon, Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain, and Spanish Steps. It may seem odd to eat dinner at a place called Il Cuore di Napoli (the heart of Naples) considering you just came from there, but trust us, you don’t want to miss the insane caprese salad or frutti di mare.

Frutti di Mare so good, you may never want to eat anything else again.

Day 12 – Start your day with a guided tour through the Vatican Museum and Saint Peter’s Basilica. Learn about the most important pilgrim site of Roman Catholicism and the incredible art that adorns it. Even if you aren’t a religious person, standing in the Sistine Chapel under Michelangelo’s ceiling is a spiritual experience you can’t miss if you’re in Rome. If you still need another reason to go, Vatican City is a separate country from Italy, so technically your trip will include 4 countries!

Day 13 – Free day in Rome to hit up any of the sites you may have missed. Escape the hoards of tourists by visiting the Trastevere neighborhood on the west bank of the Tiber River or row boats at the Villa Borghese, Rome’s largest public park. Finish your Roman holiday with spaghetti cacio e pepe, a cheesy and peppery dish that is typical of the region, and wash it down with local wine or limoncello. You can get these specialties anywhere but if you want to do it right, check out Felice for these and other Roman favorites.

Day 14 – Enjoy a final cappuccino and fresh pastry before departing from Rome’s Fiumicino Airport. On the plane, start planning your next adventure!
