The capital of Italy is probably the most visited city in the world. Whilst, arguably, for the Italians Rome is primarily the political centre of the nation, for others it is its wealth of architectural and artistic treasures which makes it a truly remarkable and unforgettable city. The numerous museums, monuments, and churches - not to mention the archeological sites - represent a cultural heritage so vast that a whole lifetime would not be sufficient to explore it in its entirety.
Rome, once the capital of the most powerful empire of the ancient western world, has retained its impressive cultural, historical, and artistic importance and is still, centuries later, an important protagonist on the world scene.
Every Piazza, street, and alleyway records the history of Rome’s glorious past, which is, however, only a part of the city’s charm. Rome should also be experienced via the old quarters of Testuccio and Trastevere, where one savours the warmth of the people and the real, authentic soul of the eternal city.

Athens - Greece is a fantastic blend of east and west with its street vendors and colorful markets that are reminiscent of Turkish bazaars while crumbling neoclassical mansions look back to the city's brief heyday as the "Paris of the Mediterranean". Be sure to visit The Acropolis, crowned by the Parthenon, it stands sentinel over Athens and is visible from almost everywhere in the city. Nestled into the north-eastern slope of the Acropolis is the old village of Plaka. Mykonos is the most expensive and heavily visited of all Greek islands. It has the most sophisticated nightlife, chic shops, and superb beaches. Whether you chose to relax or explore, there's something for everyone in the Greek Isles.

It is the country that gave us Bach, Beethoven, and Wagner and the celebrated poet, dramatist and philosopher Goethe. Cosmopolitan German cities like Berlin, Cologne and Munich offer fine museums, galleries, operas and concerts combined with lively and colourful cafés, beautiful parks and gardens and exciting nightlife. Carnivals and festivals are hugely popular in Germany and it won’t be long before you’re right in the thick of it – drinking beer, eating pretzels and gingerly approaching the roller coaster. Beer is the national beverage with each region and brewery producing beer with a distinctive taste and body. Sampling a wide variety is an absolute must! Go north and experience the breathtakingly beautiful coastal areas and miles of fine sandy beaches. Go south for the romance and mystery of Bavaria. The enchanting castles dotted among the snow-capped mountains will make you feel that you’ve stepped into a living fairytale. Cruise down one of the country’s large rivers – an excellent and delightful way to experience all that this wonderful country has to offer.
