If Europe were a book,
it would be a hardcover
page-turner. Its riveting
historical plot would tell
stories of famous musicians,
sculptors and genius
painters; of vintners, bakers
and farmers; of war heroes
and resistance fighters;
of royals and boundary
breakers; of irreverent
architects, scientists and
seafarers. Its pages would
overflow with alpine peaks,
endless patchworks of
farmed fields and bustling
cities, and there would be
a whole chapter on castles
overlooking meandering
rivers.
From the Danube to the
Rhine, the rivers of Europe
and the countries through
which they run are as scenic
as they are spellbinding.
In Amsterdam, marvel at
the iconic windmills and
picturesque fields of tulips.
Explore Prague — 'the city
of a hundred spires' — and
sample some of the world's
finest beers. Experience the
healing thermal waters and
flamboyant architecture
of Budapest. Take in the
vast musical heritage
and magnificent imperial
palaces of Vienna.
If Europe were a book,
you would never tire of
reading it…
