The Italian capital is a real highlight when choosing a destination for city breaks. The Eternal City is not short of sights. Thanks to its over 3000 years of history, there is plenty to look at.

The Colosseum, the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain or Vatican City with St. Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel - all sights (powered by GetYourGuide) in Rome that everyone should have seen at least once in their life.


Local food and its own culture around it is an attraction in any country, but in Italy more than almost anywhere else in Europe. A trip to Rome is worth it just for the pizza, pasta and gelato, so remember: try the local food an enjoy the great atmosphere in one of the nice restaurants or cafes.

This enchanting seaside city with boundless culture, great architecture and a world-class drinking and dining scene is extremely different from the rest of the country. Here, the locals live with their own language and culture, which, compared to the rest of Spain, releases a completely different atmosphere.


You can experience Catalan culture, beautiful Gaudi (powered by GetYourGuide) buildings and incredible restaurants and bars. Stroll around the Gothic quarter or try the delicious tapas in La Ribera.

Lisbon with its many sights (powered by GetYourGuide) is considered one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. This city tastes of the sweetness of pastéis de nata, is carried by the melancholy of fado and smells of vino verde. A place that teaches every visitor what it means to explore a metropolis on foot.


Situated on hilly terrain on the Atlantic coast Lisbon offers many attractions besides the Torre de Belem, the old streetcar no. 28 and Akfama, which you simply must have seen. From the imposing Castelo de São Jorge, there is a sweeping view of the entire old town with its pastel-colored houses, the Tejo estuary and the Ponte 25 de Abril suspension bridge. The Museu Nacional do Azulejo displays decorative ceramic tiles from 5 centuries.


Outside Lisbon, a series of beaches stretch along the Atlantic Ocean between Cascais and Estoril.

Stockholm is a vibrant destination where innovations in music, design, fashion and technology are born. It is a city with a long and interesting history, and although it is the largest city in Scandinavia, it retains a peaceful atmosphere with wonderful Swedish architecture and the natural beauty of the surrounding sea.


The city is made up of fourteen islands and has countless things to see (powered by GetYourGuide) and do between the museums, parks, and historic streets & buildings.


Swedish cuisine might be best known for its meatballs and pickled herring, but in recent years Stockholm has made huge gastronomic leaps. In Stockholm you will find award-winning chefs and restaurants serving fresh local ingredients and leading the way in food sustainability.

Tallinn is the capital of Estonia and an ideal vacation destination (powered by GetYourGuide) if you want to combine the comforts of the modern world, diverse nightlife and the historic and cultural scene.

Tallinn's Old Town is one of the world's best-preserved city centers from the Hanseatic era. Just a stone's throw away you willl find the city's business center with modern skyscrapers and luxury hotels, trendy neighborhoods and large shopping malls.
