Kotor, Montenegro

Dubrovnik, Croatia

Dubrovnik

A city encased in medieval walls watching over the calm azure waters of the Adriatic, it’s hard to imagine that any traveller could fail to be impressed by Dubrovnik. Discover the wonderfully preserved UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Town, with a wealth of palaces, churches, monasteries, and monuments. There is no better way to see the city than to walk its walls, taking around two hours, it provides breathtaking views along the way - so don’t forget your camera.

Food is also a proud part of Dubrovnik’s tradition. Owing much of its culinary heritage to the sea, you can expect some of the freshest seafood and most elegant wine bars along the Adriatic. There’s time, too, for a ride on Dubrovnik’s beloved cable car – a trip that promises one of Europe’s best coastal views.

Odessa, Ukraine

Odessa

Founded in the late 18th century as a Russian naval fortress, the Ukrainian city of Odessa is one of the most significant industrial ports in the Black Sea. Home to beautiful beaches, quaint pastel coloured buildings and the stunning old town with a spectacular opera house, it attracts visitors from around the world with its vibrant cultural and artistic scene. In contrast to other cities in the former Soviet Union, the ‘Pearl of the Black Sea’ as it is lovingly known, promises a warm Mediterranean climate and bustling café culture. During an exclusive EmeraldPLUS excursion enjoy a tour of the Palaces of Odessa with a private recital.

Nice, French Riviera

Nice

Timeless, glamorous, and blessed with year-round sunshine, Nice is a jewel of the French Riviera. With its blend of French-Italian culture and Mediterranean appeal, the city is a one-of-a-kind destination. Wine, food, sun, sea, and sand aren’t the only reasons why Nice has long been one of Europe’s premier Mediterranean retreats, the city has a rich history dating back to the time of the Ancient Greeks, and its popularity in the 19th century has contributed to one of the most beautiful cityscapes in all of France.

Whether you’re here to sample the local wine and produce, to take in the famous Baroque and Belle Époque architecture, or simply to experience the decadent, carpe diem style of living that’s synonymous with the French Riviera, Nice deserves to be at the very top of your travel wish list in the south of France.

Naples, Italy

Naples

Nestled on the picturesque Bay of Naples in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, this city possesses a passion to match its fiery neighbour. You may be surprised by the fast pace of Neapolitan life, as narrow streets lined with eateries encourage people in with the delicious smells of their famous pizza, and scooters whizz through honking their horns. However, it’s not all high-octane, Naples is abundant in important historic architecture, including the Cattedrale di San Gennaro and the Castel Nuovo. And, Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii are just on the doorstep, perfect for a day out beyond the city.
