Iberian Loop
Madrid → Seville → Lisbon → Porto
Spain and Portugal share a peninsula but feel like different planets — and that's exactly the point. High-speed rail, a single short flight, and you've covered four world-class cities, two coastlines and arguably the best eating in Europe. A trip that flatters first-timers and rewards repeat visitors.

Mediterranean Classics
Rome → Athens → Greek islands → Istanbul
The classic European cultural circuit, sequenced so the food and the history build instead of compete. Rome warms you up, Athens sharpens you, the islands soften you, and Istanbul finishes the meal. Three weeks is the minimum — four would be better.

Southeast Asia Backpacker
Bangkok → Hanoi → Saigon → Bali
Cheap, hot, photogenic, life-changing. A month is enough to do each country justice without burning out, and the budget airline links between them are some of the cheapest international flights in the world.
