EUROPE'S ARCHITECTURAL TAPESTRY
Central Europe is steeped in history and architectural splendour, with each city telling its
own unique story. From imperial palaces to medieval towns, the architecture of this region
offers a fascinating journey through time.
In Budapest, the Parliament Building stands as a testament to Hungary's national pride and
Gothic Revival architecture, while Cologne's Cathedral, with its towering spires, represents
centuries of faith and resilience. Vienna's skyline is a harmonious blend of imperial opulence
and modern sophistication, epitomised by the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palaces, the
heart of the Habsburg Empire. Meanwhile, Amsterdam's iconic canals and gabled houses
reflect the Dutch Golden Age, with landmarks like the Rijksmuseum and Anne Frank
House offering profound insights into the city's rich artistic and historical heritage.
