Welcome to Europe
There simply is no way to tour Europe and not be awestruck by its
scenic beauty, epic history and dazzling arts scene. It also offers
delicious culinary diversity and the best nightlife in the world.

2 Venice, Italy
Magical city seemingly floating on water
A sunny winter's day, with far fewer tourists around, is the perfect
time to lap up Venice's unique and magical atmosphere. Ditch your
map and wander the shadowy backlines of Dorsoduro while
imagining secret assignations and whispered conspiracies at every
turn. Then visit two of Venice's top galleries, the Gallerie
dell'Accademia and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, which
houses works by many of the giants of 20th-century art.

3 Rome, Italy
Classical ruins mixed with contemporary style
From the crumbling Colosseum to the ancient Forum and the
Appian Way, few sights are more evocative than the ruins of ancient
Rome. Two thousand years ago this city was the centre of the
greatest empire of the ancient world, where gladiators battled and
emperors lived in unimaginable luxury. Nowadays, it’s a haunting
spot; as you walk the cobbled paths, you can almost sense the
ghosts in the air.
4 Paris, France
Up close with an architectural icon
Designed as a temporary exhibit for the 1889 Exposition
Universelle (World Fair), Paris' elegant art nouveau Eiffel Tower has
become the defining fixture of the skyline. Its recent 1st-floor refit
adds two glitzy glass pavilions housing interactive exhibits; outside,
peer d-o-w-n through the glass floor to the ground below. Visit at
dusk for the best day and night views of the City of Light and make
a toast at the sparkling champagne bar.
5 Berlin, Germany
Catch the ever-changing zeitgeist
More than 25 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, it’s hard to
believe that this most cosmopolitan of cities once marked the
frontier of the Cold War. But reminders of Berlin’s divided past still
remain: whether you’re passing the Brandenburg Gate, gazing at
graffiti at the East Side Gallery or soaking up the history at
Checkpoint Charlie, it’s an essential part of understanding what
makes Germany’s capital tick.
6 Dubrovnik, Croatia
Walk the city's spectacular walls
Dubrovnik's main claim to fame is its historic ramparts, considered
among the finest in the world, which surround luminous marble
streets and finely ornamented buildings. Built between the 13th
and 16th centuries, the walls are still remarkably intact today, and
the vistas over the terracotta rooftops and the Adriatic Sea are
sublime, especially at dusk, when sundown makes the hues
dramatic and the panoramas unforgettable.

8 Vienna, Austria
Grand heart of a former empire
The monumentally graceful Hofburg whisks you back to the age of
empires in Vienna as you marvel at the treasury’s imperial crowns,
the equine ballet of the Spanish Riding School and the chandelier-
lit apartments fit for Empress Elisabeth. The palace, a legacy of the
640-year Habsburg era, is rivalled in grandeur only by the 1441-
room Schloss Schönbrunn, a Unesco World Heritage Site, and the
baroque Schloss Belvedere, both set in exquisite gardens.
