“A man who has not been in Italy, is always conscious of an
inferiority, from his not having seen what it is expected a man
should see.”
It was the trip of a lifetime, where young, aristocratic British
men would travel across Europe and open their eyes to new
worlds.
Discover why these men would do this, how they travelled, what
they got up to, and what it tells us about our relationship with
tourism today.
