Useful tips
If you have more time, you can add a day trip to Liverpool from Manchester for Beatles and football experiences. In Rome, the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain are also nearby attractions. In Barcelona, explore the Montserrat Monastery or indulge in the city's food markets. If you have less time, consider skipping the Blue Lagoon or the Gothic Quarter. You can also watch a football game in Rome at Stadio Olimpico instead of the Lazio game.
