“A feast for the senses” is how many of our LeGrow’s Travel counsellors describe Europe – and they should know because they’re constantly on the move, searching out best-kept secrets in every corner of the continent.
During this 8-day journey, encounter the grand cities and quaint villages along the celebrated Danube River. Explore both sides of Hungary’s capital, traditional “Buda” and more cosmopolitan “Pest”, and from Fishermen’s Bastion see how the river divides this fascinating city. Experience Vienna’s imperial architecture and gracious culture, and tour riverside towns in Austria’s Wachau Valley.

From Paris to Prague Join us on a whirlwind tour of two of our favourite European cities
Vive Paris!
F
rom those faulous 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 archtectural beauty, artistic expression and culinary experiences. “I absolutely love Paris,” says Dianne Mercer, LeGrow’s Travel counsellor, Atlantic Place, St. John’s. And she’s not alone. Lovers continue to flock here, particularly in the spring. Walking hand-inhand down narrow, historic streets; visiting any one of countless outdoor cafes taking in the local art at the famous Louvre gallery. If you go: Located in the 9th district of Paris, the Best Western Opera Premier (formerly the Jules Hotel) is surrounded by both charming bohemian streets and typically Parisian boulevards. Fabulous theatre, shopping, dining and entertainment are yours to discover when you step out the front door of this contemporary hotel.
Prague, Czech Republic
“P
rague is in a word, captivating,” says Gabriel Rich, LeGrow’s Travel counsellor, Happy Valley-Goose Bay. “The cobblestone streets and fairytale architecture are simply stunning.” Prague is a city of contrasts – charmingly historic and ultra-modern; quaint shops rubbing elbows with Prada boutiques. You could spend a week here and still have things to discover. “Be sure not to miss some of the top attractions – gaze up at the enormous Prague Castle, take in the spectacular views at Charles Bridge, and leave your own graffiti mark at John Lennon Wall,” Gabriel says. Oh, and a bestkept secret? Love Lock Bridge, located near the John Lennon Wall. The bridge itself is small, but the area is very romantic.

Gaelic Adventures in Scotland and Ireland
Explore your Celtic connections in the carefree comfort of a guided vacation
E
xploring the back roads of Europe used to mean forgoing the creature comforts. Back in the day when backpacking through Europe, experiencing the best of places like Britain and Ireland meant making travel decisions on the fly,” says Jillian Roberts, LeGrow’s Travel counsellor, Atlantic Place, St. John’s. “It meant staying in less-than-great accommodations and spending more time finding your way around than finding a destination’s hidden gems. Hassles were the price you would pay to uncover a destination’s unique charms.” Not any more. Today’s coach tours are offering a new generation of intrepid discoverers the chance to explore their most treasured bucket list destinations, without getting lost, worrying about where best to stay, where best to dine,
and what best to see. “I just love Scotland and Ireland. These Celtic countries are the perfect destination for a guided vacation,” says Jillian. “I think that’s because all the wonderful experiences are best shared among friends – whether it’s a whiskeytasting, a visit to an ancient castle, or learning about your Irish or Scottish ancestors and tracing your family tree. And there’s always something to smile and laugh about.”
We Recommend: Walk in the footsteps
of Celtic culture and get up close and personal with the majestic scenery of two remarkable lands on Collette Tours 12-day guided vacation of Scotland and Ireland.
