Day 1 - Southampton - England
Located on England's South Coast, Southampton is a city full of surprises. Home to one of the largest ports in Europe, the city has a lot to offer people passing through for the day. Step back in time and explore the old town — walk along the medieval town walls, parts of which date back to 1290. Visit Bargate, a medieval gatehouse built by Normans in the 12th century. Check out SeaCity Museum and learn about what it would have been like to set sail on the Titanic in 1912 — Southampton is where the historic ship left port. Or venture out and explore the Hampshire countryside: Iconic Stonehenge is just a one-hour drive away.

Day 4 - Bilbao - Spain
Bilbao is a vibrant city in the Basque Country of Spain that has transformed itself from an industrial hub to a cultural and artistic destination. You can enjoy the stunning architecture, the delicious cuisine, and the friendly atmosphere of this city that has something for everyone. Here are some of the highlights of Bilbao that you can include in your travel text:
- The Guggenheim Museum: This is the most iconic attraction of Bilbao, a masterpiece of modern architecture designed by Frank Gehry. The museum showcases contemporary art from around the world, as well as permanent collections by artists such as Richard Serra, Jeff Koons, and Anish Kapoor. You can also admire the exterior of the museum, which is covered with titanium panels that reflect the light and the river.
- The Casco Viejo: This is the old town of Bilbao, where you can explore the charming streets, squares, and churches that date back to the medieval times. You can also visit the Mercado de la Ribera, the largest covered market in Europe, where you can find fresh produce, fish, meat, cheese, and more. The Casco Viejo is also a great place to enjoy the nightlife and the pintxos, the Basque version of tapas.
- The Mount Artxanda: This is a hill that offers a panoramic view of Bilbao and its surroundings. You can reach the top by taking a funicular from the city center, which takes only three minutes. You can also walk or bike along the trails that lead to the summit. There you can find a park, a restaurant, and a monument to the victims of the Spanish Civil War.
- The San Memes Stadium: This is the home of Athletic Club Bilbao, one of the most successful and popular football teams in Spain. The stadium is modern and spacious, with a capacity of over 50,000 spectators. You can watch a match and cheer for the local team, or take a guided tour and visit the museum, the dressing rooms, and the pitch.
- The Zubizuri: This is a pedestrian bridge that crosses the Nervion river and connects the two sides of Bilbao. It was designed by Santiago Calatrava, a famous Spanish architect who also created other bridges and buildings in the city. The bridge is white and curved, resembling a fish or a boat. It is illuminated at night and creates a striking contrast with the water.
Day 5 - La Coruna - Spain
Perched on a rocky peninsula in Spain's northwest, La Coruna is brimming with ancient Roman heritage and maritime history. Head to the Crystal City, located right near the harbor, and check out the galerias — the city is famous for these 19th-century enclosed glass balconies that reflect the glittering waters of the Atlantic. Then, walk the Paseo Maritimo: The promenade will take you past ocean views to the Cidade Vella, the city's old town full of remnants of the ancient and medieval past. Walk along the still-standing remnants of the city's Roman Wall, and climb the green hill to the Tower of Hercules — a Roman lighthouse that's been in active use since the second century A.D.
