Manchán's Europe By Train

Determined to step out of his comfort zone, Manchán takes a 100mph zipline ride across a Welsh quarry, dances the Congo at a party in Brussels, cycles through treetops on an innovative Belgian trail, visits a floating farm in Rotterdam, and meets some modern-day heroes in Amsterdam.

Manchán stops off in Berlin, where he dines on an array of dishes made with protein-packed insects. In Prague, he learns about fruit foraging in the city and meets two sisters with a passion for baking. When Manchán arrives in Budapest, he heads straight to the public baths before exploring the city.

Manchán visits Zagreb, where he learns about the city's witch-hunting past and sips coffee in a café that is a replica of the Orient Express. At his next stop in Slovenia's Lake Bled, he rows out to a little island church, before enjoying a locally-made picnic. Manchán goes diving in Genoa on the Italian coast and learns about an award-winning pesto sauce from local lawyer-turned-foodie Enrica Monzani.

For the final stretch of his journey, Manchán departed Genoa for the Côte d'Azur. He stopped off in Monte Carlo, the capital of Monaco, as he made his way along the French Riviera. He headed inland for Toulouse and crossed into Basque Country in Spain to spend some time in San Sebastián before catching the ferry home from Bilbao to Rosslare.
