Thank you, @spain. What a @fifaworldcup🏆.
The trophy is the headline, but the #UnexpectedUpgrade is everything waiting beyond the stadium: city breaks, rural villages and streets that turn match day into a much bigger journey.
Can you guess where we will meet for the next one?
Rumor has it these European castles helped inspire some @Disney favorites✨.
🌹Château de Chambord = Beauty and the Beast
🏰Neuschwanstein = Sleeping Beauty
🍎Alcázar of Segovia = Snow White
Which castle are you choosing?👀 #PalaceDay
✨ 30,000 islands. One unforgettable July. 🇸🇪
Hop on a ferry ⛴️, dive into crystal clear waters 🌊, and end the day by a peaceful harbor 🌅.
Why follow the crowds when you can find your own island?
📌 Bookmark this for your Sweden trip.
Go #offbeat, and Europe hands you something better:
📍 Lublin, Poland 🇵🇱
This is what travel looks like when local people show the way.

Inspired by football in France and Spain⚽?
🚆Follow the rails from Pau to the Train Jaune for a front row seat to the Pyrenees.
📍Pyrénées Slow Route = Pau, Villefranche-de-Conflent, Mont-Louis, Font-Romeu, Latour-de-Carol.
Where would you step off first👇?
Everyone's talking about @Erling Haaland. We're talking about where he calls home🏔️⚽.
These fjords? World-class.
These northern lights? Unplayable✨.
England's game plan: stop Haaland🫷 .
Ours? Start planning Norway😉.
What do Belgium and Spain have in common?🇧🇪🇪🇸
Both offer an #UnexpectedUpgrade through the people, flavors, and traditions that bring each place to life. Add them to your travel list.
🅰️Ghent, Belgium
🅱️Toledo, Spain
Which city gets your vote: Ghent or Toledo?👇
While France chases victory on the pitch, Grenoble has a win of its own🇫🇷⚽.
Named European Capital of Innovation 2026, this Alpine city proves that going #offbeat can unlock an #UnexpectedUpgrade💡🏔️.
Ready for a different kind of win?
Came for @OrjanHNyland1. Left with Norway’s west coast on the list⚽️.
His roots are in Volda, close to Ålesund. Would you follow a football story all the way to Ålesund?
Football got us there. The fjords did the rest🇳🇴.
The match brings the name. The place brings the upgrade.

This is your sign to sidestep the hotspots this summer✨.
While everyone else queues for the same views, Europe’s rural villages offer something better: quiet cobblestone streets & tables shared with locals 🏡.

Austria’s match-day upgrade? Take the scenic route. 🇦🇹🚆
🚞Innsbruck
🛤️Salzburg
🚅Vienna
Traveling by train means front-row views, city-center arrivals, and more time to soak up every moment.
Would you do a #TravelGreen route this summer? #UnexpectedUpgrade
With the #FifaWorldCup spotlight coming to Spain, this is your sign to explore beyond the match-day: seaside walks, pintxos bars, creative streets, and coastal towns with their own rhythm.
📍Gijón
🌊Santander
🎨Bilbao
🌿Ferrol
Which stop are you adding to your itinerary first?
POV: You came for the coastline. You left with the #UnexpectedUpgrade.
Trade the obvious route for Split’s Roman streets🏛️, Trogir’s UNESCO-listed old town🏰 and Rijeka’s creative pulse🎨.
This summer, would you do Croatia a little #offbeat?
🧷 https://t.co/9j7B9xHmE4
Because even when the games are across the Atlantic, the atmosphere is right here in Europe.
Start your day in Mons with a coffee on the square. Then hop on the train to Antwerp and watch Belgium unfold outside your window🇧🇪🚆.
Would you take this #TravelGreen route?👇
Your #slowtravel guide to #Portugal? It might be one of these:
⛪ Évora
🍷 Monsaraz
🏰 Marvão
Which one gets your vote?👇 Although if we're being honest, we'd happily visit all three🇵🇹.
Norway and France are both playing today and honestly? That’s the excuse we needed ⚽️
🇳🇴 In Ålesund: swap the usual route for waterfront streets
🇫🇷 In Collioure: trade the big-city rush for a painted harbor
Different matches. Different countries. Same #UnexpectedUpgrade.
Your sofa has one view⚽. This matchday has two👯 .
1️⃣ Utrecht brings the slower rhythm.
2️⃣ Düsseldorf gives matchday its glow.
Just 2 hours apart by train🚄, these two cities turn a football fixture into a journey through two cultures and one unforgettable corner of Europe.
Stories like Kelly's are exactly why Switzerland keeps calling✨.
💬“Switzerland has been on my mind since I was a kid — and somehow, it lived up to every expectation.”
Here’s your sign⚽: if Switzerland wins today, it’s your sign to visit Switzerland by rail🚆.
