St Petersburg – crown jewel on the Neva
A former Russian capital and its most popular city. It was founded by tsar Peter the Great in 1703 with the intention of creating the Venice or Amsterdam of the north. It was designed and built by Italian architects in the 18th and 19th century and has imposing cathedrals with golden cupolas and pastel coloured palaces.
Sunny Sevilla, full of passion and pleasure
This vibrant and lively city is blessed with a sunny climate all year round, is a gold mine of culture and offers fantastic local cuisine. In the old district Santa Cruz you will find beautiful mansions with typical Adalusian patios decorated with an abundance of flowers. The Cathedral and Alcázar, a compound of Moorish palaces, are sites of great interest.
Lisbon, city of fado
It is a melancholic city with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Its old centre can be best discovered by foot; behind the main square lies Alfama, the Moorish quarter with the red roof tiles and steep stairways. The authentic fado bars offer a lovely and relaxing view over the River Tagus.
The magic of Venice
Venice is a city with beautiful historical buildings which you can enjoy aboard a boat along its canals, making it one of the most romantic places in Europe. Its wonderful bridges and Palaces have always been a source of inspiration for poets and artists. In the immediate vicinity it is possible to visit interesting small islands by boat.
Hip and trendy Istanbul
The city that is surrounded by water is one of our most exciting new top destinations in Europe. There is an incredible amount to be seen and done such as a boat trip on the Bosporus or a visit to the numerous mosques and palaces. In the evenings you should experience the delightful Turkish cuisine and the trendy night-life.
Morocco – The Arabian Nights Experience
The most seductive of royal cities is Marrakech! The red city is a magical place, full of colours, fragrances and contradictions. Every day at sunset the square Jemaa el Fnaa comes alive with the performances of local acrobats, snake charmers, fortune and story tellers.
Cairo - A dazzling metropolis
The largest city in Africa is Cairo. With the Pyramids nearby and the Egyptian Museum with its breathtaking exhibit of the fharaohs, it has a great deal to offer. The best way to discover Cairo is with a private guide, who will take you to the best places, or by taking a sailing trip along the Nile.
Damascus - The best kept secret
Damascus is a wonderful city and wellknown for its welcoming people and great sights. It is one of the oldest cities in the world with impressive museums, beautiful mosques and churches, and splendid bazaars. The first boutique hotels are now opening in former palaces.
