Contiki launches new European travel brochure

New for 2012, Contiki is offering a range of 16 Easy Pace itineraries across its Time Out tours. With a minimum of two- and three-night stays, often later starts in the morning and even more authentic local meals, Easy Pace tours offer a more relaxed way to experience Europe.

Save and camp in style

For travellers who want to save on costs - but not experiences - there are Contiki's camping trips. This is the way the travel company originally started in 1962 but since then, they have made a few adjustments with spacious tents for two, comfortable air mattresses and market-fresh local food every day - all at some of the best campsites across Europe.

Contiki's Concept trips are all about mixing it up. You could experience one of the exclusive Special Stopovers such as a 16th century chateau, traditional Austrian gasthof or cosy Swiss chalet with hostels, cabins and amazing hotel upgrades in between. Other tour styles include ski & board trips and festivals, events & short breaks, featuring some of Europe's most epic festivals, awesome trips over Christmas and New Year.

To allow you to take your passion for fashion or interest in the culinary arts further afield, Contiki has added exclusive food and fashion shopping experiences across select itineraries. With these designer outlet stops, you'll have the chance to snap up discount threads from some of the hottest names in fashion.
