Determined to step out of his comfort zone, Manchán takes a 100mph zipline ride across a Welsh quarry, dances the Congo at a party in Brussels, cycles through treetops on an innovative Belgian trail, visits a floating farm in Rotterdam, and meets some modern-day heroes in Amsterdam.

Manchán stops off in Berlin, where he dines on an array of dishes made with protein-packed insects. In Prague, he learns about fruit foraging in the city and meets two sisters with a passion for baking. When Manchán arrives in Budapest, he heads straight to the public baths before exploring the city.

Manchán visits Zagreb, where he learns about the city's witch-hunting past and sips coffee in a café that is a replica of the Orient Express. At his next stop in Slovenia's Lake Bled, he rows out to a little island church, before enjoying a locally-made picnic. Manchán goes diving in Genoa on the Italian coast and learns about an award-winning pesto sauce from local lawyer-turned-foodie Enrica Monzani.
