Oxford

Day 1-3
Tag 1: Arrival Welcome to England💂! Upon arrival, you will make your way to London Paddington Station and take the train to Oxford (about 1 hour drive) yourself. The train ticket will be send to you prior to the trip, of course. I will welcome you at Oxford train station and will accompany you to our accommodation, where we will meet the fellow trip mates. If you arrive early, we can use the day to explore Oxford during the day and enjoy its night life after dawn. Please note that some airports like Stansted Airport are located 2 hours drive away from London and you should take that into consideration when booking your flight. If you are not sure, let me know and I will advise you which is the best flight connection and airport to take. Once everyone is in Oxford, we will go out for a welcome drink and get to know each other and learn the programme for the days to come :).

Blenheim Palace

Day 3
Tag 2: Oxford & UNESCO Blenheim Palace Oxford, the City of Dreaming Spires, is the centre of academic excellence and architectural beauty in England. In the morning, we we begin our city exploration and reveal some of the city's storied past. After the city walk, we explore some favorite scenes of "Harry Potter" from the cobblestone streets to the ancient buildings. We conclude our day with a visit to Blenheim Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and also the birthplace of Britain`s most grand politicians, Winston Churchill. This Baroque masterpiece is surrounded by lush gardens, offering a picturesque setting for exploration. The palace is filled with exquisite state rooms and priceless art. It does not only celebrate Churchill’s legacy but also stands as a testament to England's architecture and history. INCLUDED ✅ Bus to UNESCO site Blenheim Palace (Churchill`s birthplace) ✅ Entry to Blenheim Palace, Park & Gardens ✅ Walking and exploring Oxford City, with some famous film locations

West End

Day 3
Day 3: London Westend Theatre and "Harry Potter" locations After breakfast we pack our bags and make the journey back to London. Here, our adventure begins with a tour around some iconic locations from the "Harry Potter" movies like King's Cross Station, where you can snap a photo at Platform 9¾, and the stunning house rows of Diagon Alley, and perhaps even a "Butterbeer" at the Leaky Cauldron Bar. After a lunch break, we head to the Palace Theatre in London`s Westend, an equivalent to New York's Broadway, and enjoy a full 5-hours acclaimed performance of "Harry Potter And The Cursed Child" (intervall breaks included of course). And even if you're not a big Harry Potter fan: a visit to a London Westend production is simply a must-do for all culture fans! The 1st part of the show runs from 1:00 - 4:00 pm and the 2nd part runs from roughly 6:00-8:30 pm with a 2-hour long break in between the two parts. The whole Sunday afternoon and evening is born under the Harry Potter star! We can use the evening for a last drink together and say good-bye to our newly found travel buddies before we head to the hotel. Most budget airlines fly out early on Monday, so this will for most of us be the last moments together on this trip. INCLUDED ✅ Tickets to "Harry Potter And The Cursed Child" at the Palace Theatre in London (middle-priced seat in the Stalls / one of the best seats) ✅ Train ticket Oxford to London Paddington ✅ Walking to some of the iconic "Harry Potter" movie places in London OPTIONAL / EXCLUDED ❌ London metro ❌ Meals and beverages
