Rome, Italy
You can’t talk about city breaks in Europe and skip Rome. The city remains unrivalled when it comes to art, history, monuments, food, culture and architecture. Seldom has a city witnessed the kind of civilization and historic events that has shaped the identity of Rome into a fascinating bag of sights and experiences over a period of 3000 years. Explore everything from the Colosseum to the exquisite Vatican City to the ancient temples to Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel; Rome is a potpourri of experiences. Hey, and how can someone not try an authentic Italian pizza (far cry from its American counterpart), good old Italian pasta and gelato.
Lisbon, Portugal
Lisbon is straight out of a story book with its toy like wooden trams, steep hills, iron funiculars and seaside. Then you can tuck into fresh, delectable seafood, explore Lisbon’s pretty waterfront, walk down its chic 21st century streets and enjoy its lively nightlife. Don’t miss visiting Chilado, known to be one of Lisbon’s most artistic streets, dotted with vibrant shops, art galleries and cafes. Plus Lisbon has plenty of day trip options too where visitors can enjoy exploring beaches and glimpses of ancient Portuguese culture.
