Slow Travel: the ideal option for traveling with tranquility and immersion
If you prefer to enjoy your travels slowly and establish a deep connection with each place you choose, Slow Travel is the right trend to guide your itineraries. This concept derives from the slow movement, a proposal for cultural transformation that opposes the immediacy of contemporary society. It all started in the late 1980s, when Italian journalist Carlos Petrini founded Slow Food, a movement that questions the eating habits generated by fast food and its unsustainable production methods. From then on, a search began for more responsible and conscious alternatives for the production and consumption of food, which could cope with the accelerated pace of globalization. The trend was not limited to food: the slow movement then spread to fashion, with the popularization of Slow Fashion, and finally to travel, with Slow Travel. But what does it mean to travel at a slower pace?

In all cities, the focus of the itineraries is tranquility. The tours are designed to be done without rushing, with little physical effort and the greatest possible comfort in transport. There are fewer hotel changes, which helps the traveler have more time to enjoy the destination. To eliminate excessive worries, each itinerary includes a cultural guide, host and support staff adjusted according to the number of travelers.

The itinerary focuses on the culture, history and traditions of the destinations. This includes visits to Verona’s classic summer opera festival, Burgundy’s wineries and one of the few Comté cheese factories, and the iconic art and architecture sites of Prague and Vienna — moving against the grain of so-called “mass tourism.” Designed to eliminate any chaotic atmosphere and allow for in-depth knowledge of the places to be visited, the routes avoid overcrowding in accommodations and tourist attractions. Thus, the itinerary created revives the fundamental principles of Slow Travel, creating an atmosphere of immersion and appreciation for travelers.
