Paris Attractions on European Vacations
Start your European vacations with a trip to the City of Light. The imposing Eiffel Tower is the most popular of all its landmarks, but it is by no means the only one you should see in Paris. Walk a few meters to the Place Charles de Gaulle where you will spot the Arc de Triomphe at its center; this famous structure was built in honor of war heroes who fought for France during the Napoleonic Wars. Travel eastward and stop at the Champs-lyses where many visitors shop. Art aficionados will love Paris for its many museums. A famous city landmark is the 60,600-square-meter Louvre Palace, home to 35,000 pieces from ancient times to the 19th century. The massive Muse dOrsay located in the former railway station of Gare dOrsay features French art from 1848 to 1915, including sculptures, paintings, photographic material, and furniture. Masterpieces by Van Gogh, Renoir, Degas, Czanne, Manet and Monet from the impressionist and post-impressionist periods figure prominently on the museum's displays. If you're in town, live like the French do -- relax at a caf, order a croissant, and watch life pass you by.

Cultural European Vacations to Vienna
Vienna has a rich heritage in the arts and culture, making it a great city to visit for enriching European vacations. The Vienna State Opera, Wiener Staatsoper, is a beautiful structure, especially at night, where you can catch world-class performances of opera 50 to 60 times a year. Marvel at the wealth of the royal family of Habsburgs -- the imperial jewels are on display at the Hofburg Museum. The Sisi Museum is devoted to the Empress Elisabeth Amalie Eugenie of Austria, and allows guests to view the imperial apartments. The Kunsthistorisches Museum and Naturhistorisches Museum have numerous paintings by old masters, and ancient and classical artifacts. On to Vienna's museum quarter, you will learn more about Vienna's art and culture from several museums sprawled over a vast complex that was transformed in the 1990s from what used to be imperial stalls. In this vast complex you will find the Leopold Museum, home to one of the most valuable collections of modern Austrian art from Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele and other artists.
Berlin Wall Sights on European Vacations
Start your European vacations with a visit to Berlin. The most famous landmark of the city is the Berlin Wall, a partition between East and West that was torn down in 1989, paving the way for a new era for Germany. You can still view what's left of the wall by walking along the southern border of Wedding. At the Gedenksttte Berliner Mauer site there is a restored segment that's located next to a documentation center where stories of people who have attempted to cross the wall are detailed. A former border crossing, the Sandkrugbrcke attracts many visitors who lay flowers on a stone that marks the first person who was shot dead trying to flee to the West. The Haus am Checkpoint Charlie has a museum that provides tourists with a comprehensive history of the Wall. The best place for afternoon kaffee und kuchen, a popular Berlin tradition for coffee and cake, is the picturesque Prenzlauer Berg district of Mitte.
