Designed especially for recent graduates, Essential Europe offers 23 days of exploration, excitement, and cultural immersion as you spend time in EIGHT European countries. Mingle with locals on a London pub crawl, snap selfies in front of Florence's Duomo, twirl through the hill of Austria, and you can even get your Greek Isle fix. The best part? This trip strikes the perfect balance between action, free time, and historical and architectural deep dives, all set amongst gorgeous European landscapes. This is the chance to embrace your inner adventurer and create memories and friendships with your fellow UT graduates that will last a lifetime.

With the core Essential Europe itinerary you'll fly from the United States to London on May 17th with your trip beginning on May 18th. After making your way through England, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Austria, and Italy you will fly home to the United States from Rome on June 3rd. Or you can choose to extend your journey, with five extra days in Southern Italy and Greece, flying home on June 8th.

Pricing assumes shared room occupancy (single occupancy available on request) and does not include airfare. If you'd like assistance with airfare, AESU is happy to assist.
