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…
