FIREBIRD TRAVEL GUIDES
Going to Europe? Read travel advice from experts before you go.
If you are a serious Modernist Architecture fan you are in for a treat. We have partnered up with USModernist® to bring out a selection of trips that take you to the most inspiring Modernist buildings in Europe.
You will see Calatrava's Twisting Torso in Malmo, Sweden; Henning Larsen's Copenhagen Opera House; and the Atomium in Brussels, Belgium, among many more amazing buildings.
USModernist-curated trips focus uniquely and exclusively on Modernist architecture, unique both in design and innovative building trends, which you get to familiarize yourself with during guided tours that are led by professionals.
Do you smile gleefully whenever Neutra or Lautner or Schindler or Mies or Gropius comes up in conversation? Then these trips are for you.

My family and I truly enjoyed our Switzerland and Italy vacation
Traveled to Italy, SwitzerlandMy family and I truly enjoyed our Switzerland and Italy vacation. We couldn't have managed this trip without Firebird’s help. It was a trio of a lifetime to take with my family and it went better than I expected. I have already recommended Firebird to friends and family.

Many thanks for the private tour to Great Britain
Traveled to United Kingdom, IrelandThe professionalism and quality of your work impressed me greatly! England was was a destination I always dreamed to visit and it was worth it. London was nice, just as I pictured it with the red phone booths and the mighty Big Ben. The other cities included in the tour were enjoyable as well
