European Vacations to Lovely Paris

Start your European vacations with a trip to the City of Light. The Eiffel Tower is an imposing structure, considered monstrous during its time, and is probably the most famous landmark of Paris, if not France. Close to the Eiffel Tower is the Arc de Triomphe at the center of Place Charles de Gaulle, built to honor the fallen heroes of France during the Napoleonic Wars. Travel eastward and stop at the Champs-lyses where many visitors shop. Museum lovers will no doubt enjoy the city as well. The Louvre Palace houses almost 35,000 objects from prehistory to the 19th century that you can admire over an area of 60,600 square meters. Down at the old railway station of Gare dOrsay is the massive Muse dOrsay and its huge collection of French art -- culptures, paintings, photographic material, and furniture -- covering the period between 1848 and 1915. 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.

European Vacations to Nice, France

Immerse yourself in art by visiting the museums of Nice on your European vacations. Aficionados of contemporary art will love the Muse dArt Moderne et dArt Contemporain and its large permanent collection of Pop Art and New Realism styles as well as those from the Nice School. Young local talents are given the opportunity to showcase their work at the Galerie Jean Renoir. Matisse fans will be treated to a huge collection of his paintings, engravings, drawings and personal effects at the quaint 17th century villa called Muse Matisse. The bare structure of the Muse National Message Biblique Marc Chagall is contrasted by the strong colors of its paintings with biblical themes that are almost an assault on the senses. After touring the lovely museums of the city, head to the charming churches of Nice. Russian Orthodox influence shines prominently on the architecture of Cathdrale Saint Nicolas, while Chapelle de la Misricorde is a striking example of French baroque religious architecture.

Explore Stockholm on European Vacations

Since Stockholm was founded more than 750 years ago, there has been a settlement in the Old City of Gamla Stan. As early as 1252, pillaging raids have been spotted ravaging the narrow medieval alleys, old churches, town squares, and of course, the Royal Palace. Nowadays, instead of horses or donkeys with carriages on the streets, you can find bus tours galore with tourists from all over the world. To see the sights at your own pace, stay away from the main streets and explore the quaint side streets on your European vacations. Celebrate how far the country has gone by visiting the Stadshuset, the City Hall. Stockholm's most famous landmark, Stadshuset plays host to the annual Nobel Prize banquet visited by some of the world's most respected luminaries. See the 10,000-piped organ, the impressive Golden Hall where Swedish history is depicted on wall mosaics with 18 million pieces in gold leaf, and the Council Chamber, which resembles the open roof of a Viking longhouse.

Unearth the Gems of London on European Vacations

All European vacations must include a stop at the great city of London. Even non-Catholics will appreciate St. Paul's Cathedral, a famous London icon designed by Sir Christopher Wren that was built in 1708. Guests are always in awe of the beautiful mosaics on the walls. Head to London's financial district where you can see the Lord Mayor's residence at the Mansion House and the Bank of England. Of course, the Tower of London is a must-see, too. This medieval fortress is almost 1,000 years old; in old times it used to be a prison, a mint, a zoo, and a royal palace. Marvel at the Crown Jewels -- Her Majesty's most important pieces include the Kohi-i-Noor and the Cullinan diamonds. Sign up for an enjoyable afternoon cruise along the Thames River and spot a number of attractions from the water. As soon as you get off, travel along the river banks and take a ride on one of the gondolas of the London Eye, which used to be the highest Ferris wheel in the world at 135 meters.
