Rising from the winding banks of the river Tiber Rome magnificently crowns its seven hills.
Formerly the mighty Roman Empire's heart, Rome is now as much a contemporary European city as it is a historical centre. As an artistic and historic world capital, Rome invites visitors to immerse themselves in its stunning sights, exciting treasures, and delicious food and drink.
Named by the ancient Romans as the Eternal City and most certainly not built in a day, with Romanesque, Medieval, Classical and Renaissance buildings spanning centuries,
Rome boast some of Europe's most eye-catching architecture.
Rome is not a museum though it is vibrant and colourful with scenery, culture, people and food that combine to create an unrivalled ambience for a city destination.
One of the most attractive cities in the world with some of the world's most iconic sights, Paris is also a delightfully compact group of villages.
Equally as exciting as the city's great monuments is the everyday Paris that can be found in pavement cafes and parks. Paris is celebrated for its exquisite architecture, cathedrals, art museums, parks, markets, tree-lined boulevards, pavement cafes, superb shopping and fine cuisine.
As a perennial city, Paris throughout the seasons maintains an ability to equally charm and captivate its visitors.
Within this patchwork collection of diverse villages, quartiers and arrondissements visitors can discover the delight of hidden local shops, cafes, bars and restaurants at almost every turn.
Paris has a splendour and majesty that inspires but also a genuinely memorable casual intimacy.
Istanbul stands proudly at the meeting point between Europe and Asia, combining both continents' cultures, yet managing to present an entirely distinctive whole.
The mixture of cultures can be seen everywhere, even in the landscape, ranging from towering mountains to delightful sunny beaches.
Istanbul proves that it is a city whose attractions are not confined to any particular type of visitor.
Few Capitals around the world can boast the atmosphere of a typically bustling commercial centre combined with expanses of soft sand, so there is little wonder that beaches play a large part in the city's appeal.
Surprisingly easy to reach all year round, there is a tremendous amount to do and see on a break to Istanbul.
