Amsterdam- Amsterdam, is one of the greatest small cities in the world. From Amsterdam canals to world-famous Amsterdam museums and historical Amsterdam sights, it is one of the most romantic and beautiful cities in Europe. Canal cruises are a popular way to see the city from the perspective of its canals. It has all the advantages of a big city: rich culture, lively Amsterdam nightlife, international restaurants, good transport - but is quiet, and largely thanks to its extensive canals, has a little road traffic. In this city your destination is never far away, but get a bike for an authentic local experience.



Brussels- Brussels, opens up an altogether different world to its visitors where the ancient and modern world are closely linked together. The numerous attractions, the culture, people and the restaurants serving delicious food here welcome the visitors to come and discover all that the city has to offer.

The reconstructed Altstadt (Old Town) is the site of Römerberg, a square that hosts an annual Christmas market.

Black Forest- The Black Forest is a mountainous region in southwest Germany, bordering France. Known for its dense, evergreen forests and picturesque villages, it is often associated with the Brothers Grimm fairy tales. It's renowned for its spas and the cuckoo clocks produced in the region since the 1700s. The region’s largest town, Freiburg, is filled with Gothic buildings and surrounded by vineyards.

Zurich- One of the richest and most sophisticated cities in the world, Zurich is not only a global financial center, but also one of Europe’s most important crossroads when it comes to transportation and travel. Its historical center has been preserved almost to the millimeter, although a trendy, avant-garde feel to the place makes Zurich one of the most attractive cities in the world to live and play.

Lucerne-Lucerne the gateway to central Switzerland, sited on Lake Lucerne, is embedded within an impressive mountainous panorama. Complete with gable paintings, the covered, medieval Chapel Bridge forms the centrepiece of Lucerne’s townscape and is considered to be one of the oldest, covered wooden bridges in Europe. The figure of a dying lion which was hewn from the face of rock in remembrance of the heroic death of Swiss guards killed during an attack on the Tuileries in 1792 is one of the best-known monuments in Switzerland.

Interlaken- It’s not unusual for a town to be on a River, Lake or An Ocean. But for It sit between two lakes may will be unique. Interlaken-between lake thin and lake brienz-can boast such a privileged position and there’s more. Interlaken is also in the heart of the mangnifient Jungfrau region mountain World and affords views of the World famous Icy Icons, The Eiger, Monch & Jungfrau.
