Singapore, 27 May 2014: Trafalgar (www.trafalgar.com), the world's leading guided holiday company shares some insider secrets on the benefits of travelling to Europe and Britain during the idyllic holiday periods of October to March. With the launch of Trafalgar's 2014/15 autumn, winter & spring itineraries, it is the ideal time to enjoy and explore the changing colour and landscapes of Europe and Britain.
Festive celebrations
Fancy a change from the usual balmy Christmas? There are plenty of travellers who choose to holiday over Christmas and New Year to savour the holiday spirit in Europe with family. All Trafalgar itineraries that operate through Christmas and New Year include special festive celebrations, alongside seasonal delights of mulled wine, Christmas markets, local cultural performances and the scent of freshly baked stollen wafting through the air.
Insider Experiences
Travelling with Trafalgar, not only will guests visit iconic sights, stay in handpicked hotels, and meet local characters, but also enjoy insider experiences unique to Trafalgar. These include its exclusive 'Be My Guest' dining experiences whereby a local family will host guests in their home and prepare a delicious meal made of local produce. For this autumn, winter and spring, expect to listen to stories of local culture while enjoying hearty meals and tasting the Schieszl family's best vintage at their winery in Hungary; or in Madrid, feast at one of the oldest eateries featuring tapas and nougat, followed by the tradition of eating 12 grapes – one at each strike of the clock to welcome in the New Year.
Hidden Treasures
Travel is all about partaking in authentic experiences and meeting the locals. Whether it is browsing through German winter markets, feasting your eyes on Christmas window displays, or viewing spring tulips in Holland bloom, there is a special charm that can only be experienced in the months of autumn, winter and spring. Trafalgar's Travel Directors are experts at showcasing these Hidden Treasures, which can range from where to go for the best gelato, to visiting the home of noted Swedish physician Dr. Axel Munthe who was known to provide free medical treatment to the poor, whose villa is located atop a panoramic cliff on the Isle of Capri.
