Sue Perkins' Big Adventure: Paris to Istanbul

After narrowly missing the train in Paris, Sue samples gourmet insects crafted by a world-class chef; gets a little tipsy on absinthe; and finds her place as a catwalk model in Paris Fashion Week before ending her time in the city with a night at the Crazy Horse Cabaret.

Sue heads to Strasbourg where she embraces her inner renaissance, finds her true calling as a mermaid and bathes in a tub of beer. Her adventure then shifts gears as she takes to the road to Munich in a luxury sports car. On arrival she unleashes her creative side with some spray painting, before finishing in style as a Bavarian dancer on a Munich Pride float.

In Salzburg, Sue becomes a yodelling YouTuber and does yoga with alpacas. In Vienna, she waltzes, goes hot rod racing, and eats the fattiest dumplings ever.

In Budapest, Sue puts on her dancing shoes and blags a backstage pass at the city's hottest party. The morning after, the city's soothing hot springs beckon.

In Romania, Sue gets spooked at Castle Dracula; meets some bears up close and personal; learns all about earthquake dogs; and makes some Romani jewellery.

It's the journey's end as Sue reaches Istanbul and falls in love with Turkish delight.
