Just the word Paris invokes an immense feeling of romance that you will not find anywhere else. Yes, Paris and
romance go well together and it is something that we can all agree upon. But the city is also a lot more than
just romance. We have ensured that you get a mix of all these in our Europe holiday packages. Start with the
world’s largest art museum of Louvre. Always abuzz with people, the museum is a fascinating place that overflows
with history. There is a whole selection of things to do in Paris and exploring Louvre is one of the topmost.
And, when are you at the Louvre, you have got to see the Mona Lisa. Soak in the glamour and the grit of Eiffel
Tower and click a dozen pictures to make your friends jealous. Take a tour of the magnificent Cathedral of Notre
Dame de Paris. Go on a cruise across the Seine River. Escape to the artists’ town of Montmartre. And, unwind by

Prague
Prague is the crown jewel of Europe. Its history goes back to ages and there is an old-world charm to it that is
not prevalent in any other city. And, more often than not people overlook Prague and settle down for other
stalwart destinations. But give Prague a try and you will surely fall in love with the city of cobblestoned
streets. Walk across one of the most attractive bridges of Karluv Most. Though overcrowded at times, the bridge
is a must visit. More inclined to places that thrive with activity? Then take a visit to the Old Town Square. It
is a great place to people watch and the air around is also filled with the essence of Prague. Listen to the
chimes of the Astronomical Clock. Go on a family outing to the Prague Zoo. And do chug in some beers. They are
cheaper in Prague.

‘Oh Rome! We have come to roam’. Yes, we know that’s a bad pun. But, Rome is nothing like that. It’s where art
and architecture fuse together to create something magical. Look around and you will find masterpieces
everywhere. Yes, also good restaurants. Because Rome has some of the best places to eat in Europe. From pizzas
to piazzas, the priceless treasures in Rome will keep you occupied forever. Tour the iconic structure of
Colosseum and listen to the stories of the past. Get acquainted with the impressive work of art on display at
St. Peter’s Basilica. Pay tribute to the Roman God Oceanus at the lavish Trevi Fountain. Catch a glimpse of the
ancient relics at the Roman forum. Be amazed by the intricately designed ceiling at Sistine Chapel. Stare at the
views of the city from atop the Palatine Hill. Trace your way through the labyrinth of medieval houses in the
neighbourhood of Centro Storico. And do stop by the Pantheon.

Florence
How many times have you ever felt that a name perfectly suits a destination? Very rarely, I guess. But we have
this sense of satisfaction everytime we say Florence aloud. Because the name best reflects everything about the
city. There is elegance, renaissance, and extraordinary art. As the red-roofed city slowly unfurls, there is
also a sense of belonging. What else does Florence have? Start with a visit to the iconic Uffizi Gallery.
Regardless of you being an art enthusiast or not, Uffizi Gallery is a place you shouldn’t miss out. Climb the
276 stairs of the Duomo for the breathtaking views of the city. If this doesn’t satiate you, then get to the top
of Villa Bardini. It’s where you can stretch your legs while soaking in the views. For the best cultural
indulgence, get to the Piazza Della Signoria or the Piazzale Michelangelo. Also, most importantly rent a bicycle
and navigate the narrow streets of Florence.
