Paris, France – Paris is the heart of the romantic French culture. Renowned attractions like the Eiffel Tower, the Seine and Notre Dame dominate the cityscape. But you can only truly appreciate the City of Lights by being there and walking amongst its people on the cafe-lined streets.

Berlin, Germany – Germany is a country with a tumultuous past, but one whose future continues to be guided by the strength and spirit of its people. Though the Wall is over a decade gone, Berlin remains the ever-diverse capital of this reunified nation that, without question, has played a significant and wide-ranging role in shaping the history of the European continent.

Prague, Czech Republic – Without question, Prague is one of Europe’s most beautiful and fascinating cities. Stunning cathedrals and castles have given Prague the name “City of a Thousand Spires” but there is much more to this city than just the architecture. A lively modern vibe reflected in its parks, nightlife, art galleries and museums contrasts with quaint medieval lanes and makes Prague a must see on any European tour.

Vienna, Austria – Austria has a tradition rich in music that has nurtured the works of Beethoven, Brahms and Mozart. This heritage remains a driving force today, never more present than in the nation’s cultural and historic capital of Vienna.

Venice & Jesolo, Italy – A well deserved break on the warm beaches of Jesolo on the Adriatic Sea allows time for recharging and reflecting on an amazing experience thus far.  Nearby, one of the world’s most unique cities, Venice, beckons as it has to countless travelers, artists and dreamers for centuries. 

Florence, Pisa & Siena, Italy – The incredible art and architecture of Florence offers a true cultural experience in a country renowned for its beauty and diversity.  Home at times to Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Dante, the Romans who prophetically dubbed this city Florentia for “may she flourish” in 59 B.C., would have been astounded.

Rome, Italy – The cradle of Western Civilization, Rome’s 2500 year history is nothing short of mind boggling.  Today, classic Roman monuments, Renaissance churches, stylish young men and women and hurried pazzo (crazy) drivers come together in a hectic mix of new and old.
