Who were the first Europeans? Take a journey with us through the lands of the European continent to discover its earliest cultures and civilisations. From the cave-painters of Lascaux and Altamira to the Aegean paradise of Minoan Crete, we shall cover over 30,000 years of human pre-history.

Along the way, we shall encounter ancient cities in Iberia, standing stones in Brittany, gaze at the remains of the first Scandinavians and alpine hunters, and explore henges and barrows in the British Isles. Join us as we witness the birth of Europe.
