Here is a selection of itinerary ideas to whet your appetite:
Treehotel, Sweden
Sweden’s Treehotel is one of the most unusual hotels you will ever stay in. Top designers were commissioned to create their idea of the perfect ‘tree-room’. They produced a retreat that combines the chance to explore areas of unrivalled beauty with rooms – ranging from a Bird’s Nest to a UFO – that are unmatched in terms of ambition.
The USA West-Coast Classic Road Trip
The mythology of the American road trip is as long and winding as the country’s Pacific Coast. Cruise San Francisco’s seven hills before taking the Golden Gate Bridge, heralded as one of the Twentieth Century’s top construction achievements, into wine country and on to Nevada and Monterey.
Trans-Siberian Express
The Trans-Siberian Railway, stretching 5,772 miles, is one of the world’s greatest rail achievements. The only way to appreciate the enormity of this engineering feat is by travelling along the steel ribbon laid across Russia, connecting east and west, via some of the most challenging territory in the world.
The Ultimate Sydney Escape
No visit to Sydney is complete without a visit to the multi-award-winning Sydney Opera House. A masterpiece of modern architecture that pushed engineering to new limits, it is best seen in profile, ideally from a harbour cruise.
India’s Golden Triangle
India’s Golden Triangle is a classic introduction to the country and combines spectacular medieval forts and palaces with some of Asia’s best bazaars and archetypal Indian landscapes. Explore Delhi; the colonial capital, Agra, home of the Taj Mahal; and the Pink City of Jaipur in Rajasthan.
Whether you are looking for a road trip or great rail journey, engineering feat or natural wonder, the experienced team at Wexas, the Institution’s travel partner, is here to help you put together your perfect holiday.
