Hi there, it's Dan Snow, host of the Dan Snow's History Hit podcast.
It is officially summer here in Europe.
I would love for you to accompany me on a history lover's holiday vacation around this continent.
On my podcast throughout August, I'll be your guide to Europe's most iconic historical hotspots.
From the bell towers of Paris' Notre Dame Cathedral,
to the streets of Pompeii, to the gladiators' Colosseum in Rome.
We'll walk in the footsteps of Anne Boleyn at the Tower of London.
We will unravel the mysteries of the Minoans on the island of Crete.
Let me narrate your historic summer on Dan Snow's History, wherever you get your podcasts.
