Celestial Cities

Love is in the air … In the sea, in the music, in the architecture, and in the local cuisine.You never have to look far for it when visiting these cities! Prague, Czech Republic There was a time when Prague was Eastern Europe’s best-kept secret. But the popularity of river cruising has brought lots of visitors to its shores. “In a word, captivating,” says Debra Maher, Maritime Travel counsellor, Sudbury Regent, ON. “The cobblestone streets and fairytale architecture are simply stunning.” If you go: Delve into the delights of the Danube on a romantic 8-day river cruise followed by three nights in Prague.

Paris, France Paris intrigues, astonishes, provokes, overwhelms and ultimately gets under your skin. From those fabulous landmarks – the Eiffel Tower, the Seine, the Notre Dame Cathedral – to the chic boutiques, magniﬁcent museums and fabulous bistros, the City of Light is the apex of architectural beauty, artistic expression and culinary experiences. Lovers continue to ﬂock here, particularly in the spring. Walking hand-in-hand down narrow, historic streets; sipping café-au-lait at any one of countless outdoor cafes and bistros; taking in the local art either displayed on the street or at the famous Louvre gallery. If you go: Immerse yourself in everything Parisian from the vantage point of centrally located and budget friendly accommodations.

Venice, Italy: Sipping a crisp Pino Grigio as the water laps against the dock, just a couple of feet away, and sweet, salt air envelopes the two of you. A black gondola slips silently through a narrow canal as a couple huddles close together at the back of the gleaming vessel. There may be thousands of people in Venice, but right now, you are the only two people in the world. And that’s what it’s all about. If you go: Enjoy the must-see sights and hidden treasures of Venice on a 7-day graciously escorted tour of Italy’s top attractions with Globus.
