Iconic landmarks and hidden gems, discover Europe on a unique journey The rivers of Europe have long been the lifeblood of the communities that call them home. As they weave their way through the continent, they connect cities and landscapes with an allure simply unachievable with any other mode of transport.
Parliament Building, Budapest

Porto, Portugal
Budapest
Porto
Few cities in Europe embrace their riverfront location quite like Budapest. From the Hungarian Parliament Building to Buda Hill, the Hungarian capital boasts its grand architecture with pride along the banks of the Danube, providing an awe-inspiring panoramic view before you’ve even set foot on dry land. Settled by the Romans, founded by the Huns and embattled by the Ottomans, Nazis and Soviets, Budapest has emerged from generations of upheaval and conflict as one of Europe’s foremost capital cities.
Built on hillside slopes which border the mouth of the Douro River, Porto, Portugal’s second largest city is a recognised UNESCO World Heritage-listed site. Famous for its production of Port wine, Porto provides an eclectic mix of modern and ancient architecture and pulls huge appeal from historians, creatives and foodies alike. The popular Ribeira district boasts narrow cobbled streets lined with authentic cafes and bars. No visit to Portugal would be complete without calling at a wine cellar to taste its Port, of which here in Porto there are plenty to choose from.

Rüdesheim
Avignon
Boasting a rich historical and cultural heritage, as well as prime views over the dazzling Rhine River valley, Rüdesheim is at the centre of Rhine Valley’s wine industry, where production has thrived in this town for over 1000 years. Quaint and picturesque, Rüdesheim is one of the principal destinations of the beloved Rheingau, a district of the Rhineland whose exquisite natural beauty and year-round mild climate have earned it the affectionate moniker of the German Riviera.
Take a step back in time as you visit Avignon. The beautifully-preserved medieval walls and laidback atmosphere of this commune in south-eastern France retain a sense of antiquity lost in much of the modern, fast-paced world. Emerging from the rural backdrop of rolling hills and fragrant lavender fields of Provence and the Rhône, the first glimpse of the town is simply unforgettable. Regarded as ‘must see’ is the Palais des Papes, the largest Gothic palace in Europe and one of the continent’s great architectural achievements was home to seven popes in the 14th century, and has been brilliantly preserved ever since.

Kotor, Montenegro

Kotor, Montenegro
Alexandria
Kotor
Founded by Alexander the Great, its towering Pharos lighthouse, once marking the ancient harbour’s entrance, was one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and its Great Library was considered the archive of ancient knowledge. Between the glistening Red Sea and the now modern areas of the city, there still remains remnants of its glorious ancient past. The new Bibliotheca Alexandrina is regarded as not to be missed when visiting. The complex has become one of Egypt’s major cultural venues and a stage for international performers, and is home to a collection of brilliant museums.
Perfectly situated in the shadow of stunning mountains you’ll find Kotor sitting gently on an Adriatic Sea port. The town is a dramatic and delightful setting where a medieval maze of museums, churches, cafes and Venetian palaces line the cobblestones street. Past meets present as nightfalls and Kotor lights up with vibrant bars, restaurants and live music. The Natural and Culturo-Historical Region of Kotor bears unique testimony to the exceptionally important role that it played over centuries in the spreading of Mediterranean cultures into the Balkans.

Sorrento
Al Wajh
Sitting on the western gateway to the Amalfi Coast you’ll find Sorrento, a small resort with a huge reputation. The towns plunging cliffs cut to the very heart of this historic place are said to have inspired works of Charles Dickens and Leo Tolstoy. Sorrento provides a romantic and historic backdrop with spectacular views over the Bay of Naples, and mazing cobbled streets are scattered with cosy cafes waiting to be indulged in.
Located in the Tabuk Province on north-western Saudi Arabia, Al Wajh is an atmospheric coastal city perched along the coast of the Red Sea, oozing a laid back, relaxed ambiance.
