Europe: An Exploration Around the Past, Tradition, & Natural Splendor

Open your itinerary in Rome, a city whose nickname acknowledges its timeless quality. Rome offers a version of history that is not locked

The collection of nations called Europe is far from ordinary — it is a living museum, a patchwork of ancient civilisations, breathtaking landscapes, and vibrant modern cities. Spanning the distance between Portugal's ocean-washed western beaches and Bulgaria's eastern seaboard on the Black Sea, traveling the length and breadth of Europe compares to leafing through a thousand-year chronicle of human experience, a volume whose successive parts present distinct speech patterns, unique culinary notes, and unprecedented experiences.

Open your itinerary in Rome, a city whose nickname acknowledges its timeless quality. Rome offers a version of history that is not locked between book covers but rather ascends visibly around you. Walk through the Roman Forum, find yourself within the walls of the Colosseum, the largest amphitheatre ever built, and complete the tourist rite of passage: stand before the Trevi, close your eyes, and send a coin flying — you will be back. Just a few kilometres away, you can visit the world's smallest country, Vatican City. Let your jaw drop as you enter the Sistine Chapel and behold the artistic achievement that took four years to complete. From the Eternal City, board a northbound train to Florence — the birthplace of the Renaissance. You cannot walk a block in Florence without stumbling upon something painted or sculpted by one of the three greats: Da Vinci, Botticelli, or Raphael.

For those who dream of love and landscapes that seem borrowed from children's books, only a handful of destinations can compete with the pairing of the French capital and the Swiss mountain range. Head to the top of Gustave Eiffel's masterpiece just before the sun disappears below the horizon, spend an hour or three walking the banks of the Seine, watching barges and sightseeing boats slide past, and allow Montmartre's labyrinthine passages, staircases, and hidden squares to swallow you.

After exploring the French capital, transfer to a high-speed line that shoots across the landscape toward Switzerland. What lies ahead includes pasturelands colored like gemstones, summits wearing white caps, and bodies of water with mirror-like clarity. Whether you choose the eight-hour railway journey across Switzerland or a short stay in the Jungfrau-region hamlet of Grindelwald, the experience will seem unreal, impossibly beautiful, and postcard-perfect. A European tour lacking engagement with local cuisine and brewing heritage cannot be considered full.

Spanish custom invites you to stand at a counter in Barcelona's La Boqueria and pass plates of tapas to people you have never met. Italy will correct your misconceptions: pizza as invented in Naples is a completely different food, and the pasta you eat in Bologna (the capital of Italian cured meats and cheese) exists in a universe apart from what you have been served elsewhere. Do not leave Germany without sitting at a long wooden table in the Hofbrauhaus, holding a stein of frothy Oktoberfest beer, and toasting "Prost!" to strangers.

Spend time in Belgium, taste a Westvleteren XII or a Chimay Bleue, and you will understand why Trappist ales are considered masterpieces. Those who adore wine will find that navigating the curved roads of Tuscany's vineyards or visiting the chateau cellars of Bordeaux approaches a religious experience. If you count yourself among those who favor dramatic coasts and transparent ocean waters, head to Croatia's Dalmatian Coast.
