Bath and South Wales

We conjure a bit of magic when we visit the Georgian city of Bath and follow tales of Camelot into South Wales. In Bath, we marvel at ancient Roman spas and peek into the high society of Jane Austen's day. The landscape of Wales' Wye River Valley offers a wealth of scenic riches.

Edinburgh and Scotland

Friendly and feisty, Scotland makes us feel right at home. In Edinburgh, we climb the ramparts of this city's famous castle, shop for kilts, visit mysterious Rosslyn chapel and thrill to a spooky ghost tour. Then we head to historic St. Andrew's to practice our swing on the world's most famous golf course.

Barcelona and Costa Brava

A Mediterranean marvel, Barcelona simmers with beautiful beaches, medieval mazes, eye popping art, and hypnotic architecture. From tapas bars, to surrealist art, to Modernist structures, we'll feast on Barcelona's delights. For the best beaches, we head north to the coves of Costa Brava.

Madrid

The Spanish capital Madrid welcomes us with grand plazas and sparkling fountains. First stop is the Prado, one of Europe's great museums and home to Goya, El Greco, and Velázquez. Tour El Palacio Real, the seat of the Spanish empire, and the Monasterio de las Descalzas Reales that contains a hoard of art treasures hidden away in the center of the city. Day-trip to the imperial city of Toledo with its twisting streets and narrow alleyways.

France's Carcassonne and the Pyrenees

From a fairy tale fortress to the gentle Pyrenees, Rudy takes in the castles and peaks of this magical region. We tour the largest fortress in Europe, Carcassonne, and sample the local stew, Cassoulet. Your itinerary includes an unforgettable stop at Carcassonne, the largest fortress in Europe, replete with romantic castle ruins. In the high country, explore one of the world's natural wonders, a mountain amphitheater with cascading waterfalls.

France's Bordeaux and the Dordogne

The world's finest wines, sweeping vineyards and fine food couple with a river valley dotted with castles. We sample the best Bordeaux then cruise the lovely Dordogne and Lot rivers with stops at chateaux, ancient watermills, and perched villages.

Switzerland and the Alps

The Swiss Alps reverberate with cowbells, accordions, and laughter. We make our home base in the year-round playground of Interlaken, the "town between two lakes." Then we sail across glacial Lake Brienz, famous for its beautiful woodcarving.

Alpine Christmas

Hot-spiced cider and strains of "O Tannenbaum" warm our hearts as we head to Europe for Christmas. Switzerland has a special glow this time of year and we find plenty of good cheer in the bright Christmas markets and toasty ski lodges high in the crisp mountain air.

Four Great Cities II

We can jet to Europe in a day and visit four cities in less than a week. It is great to take your time, but sometimes you only have a day to visit. How can you be part of the international jet set and still get a taste of "old" Europe? Find out here.
