Renowned for its romantic charms, its multi-layered character and its monumental beauty, Paris is hardly the place to need an introduction.

We visit the city’s most iconic landmark, the Eiffel Tower. What earns this wrought iron lattice tower all its popularity is the sheer magnanimity of the structure that is known for the humbling effects it has on mere mortals. Then there is the panoramic city view that you get while atop the tower which we shall be visiting up to the second level. Overnight at Paris.

On our guided city tour of Paris we marvel at the architectural excellence of the city with structures such as the pyramid of the Louvre, Garnier’s Opera, the Place de la Concorde (the site of the infamous guillotine) the Champs Élysées (one of the most fashionable streets in the world), the Napoleonic Arc de Triomphe, the Alexander Bridge and the Hotel des Invalides among others.

Later we visit Fragonard Perfumery. Discover Fragonard’s creations on sale at factory prices. Overnight at Paris

Bidding adieu to the French capital we move on to the Belgian capital, Brussels, a city that, in itself, would appear as a contemporary art gallery.

We head to the iconic Grand Place, known to be Europe’s most beautiful and buzzing square. This exquisite market square is the main tourist attraction of the city that has often left sightseers awestruck, thanks to the historic architectural marvels from the eras of Baroque, Gothic and Louis XIV that give the place an eclectic character. Visit Mannekin Pis, one of the famous statues and fountain, a mascot and the hero of many incredible tales.

We dedicate today to the beauty of flat landscapes with canals and tulip fields and windmills and a lot more as we make a day trip to the Netherlands.

The park houses miniature versions of several Dutch architectural landmarks, traditional Dutch houses, canals, parks, windmills, verdant fields and a lot more.

We spend some free time at the busiest town centre, Dam Square or simply, The Dam. From memorable monuments and statues to souvenir shops and restaurants to that of scores of pigeons and buskers, The Dam is a true reflection of the city’s character.
