If you are planning a vacation in Europe, here are a few things you must do as you wander across the continent:

Venice: Take a Gondola ride

How can a trip to Europe be complete without a gondola ride along the serene Grand Canal of Venice? Sit back and relax as the gondola glides along the inviting waterways. Simply gaze at the buildings that line the canals of Venice and marvel at their architecture on your Europe tour.

Rome: Into the Vatican City

The walled independent state within a city is a marvel in itself. Vatican is sublime, most noted amongst tourists for the Vatican Museums that house numerous paintings, sculptures, religious artefacts and lots more. Michelangelo’s startling Sistine Chapel is also housed in the city.

United Kingdom: Try to figure out the theory behind Stonehenge

Who put them here? And why? These are the first two questions that strike you when you see oddly shaped stones put alongside in an even more odd way. Nobody has ever been able to answer the question, but who knows, you just might be the person who unfolded one of the most intriguing mysteries of all times.

Dubrovnik: Walk the walls

The Walls of Dubrovnik are a series of walls within a spectacular fortification system that has stood sturdy since the medieval era. The walls are open to public daily from 9am to 5pm and from May-mid to October, until 7 pm. Walk around the walls marveling at the architectural grandeur as you explore the gates, towers, fortresses and the walls on a memorable Europe holiday.

Paris: Climb to the top of Eiffel Tower

This wish probably makes it to every travel bucket list in the world. Climbing up the iconic Eiffel Tower is one of the topmost things to do in Europe. Use the lifts or climb the steps, that’s up to you as long as you get up there. And when you reach there, you will pause for a moment, stand in awe, staring into the horizon. That phenomenon is ‘clicking a mental picture’ because it is a view you would never want to forget.

Florence: Admire the sunset from Piazzale Michelangelo

The famous Florentine square Piazzale Michelangelo offers the most captivating panoramic views in Italy – if not the world – and the sunset from here is simply awe-inspiring. It is located at just twenty minutes’ walk from the city centre.

Edinburgh: Conquer Arthur’s Seat

One of the seven hills of Edinburgh, Arthur’s Seat looms over the city and without a doubt, bedazzles you with stunning vistas that you will never forget. Looking towards the west, the magnificent Edinburgh Castle along with the Old Town and the New Town look captivating. On a really clear day, you can even see the majestic Ochil Hills from up here.

Prague: Watch the clock do its thing

The Astronomical Clock in the Old Town Hall is around 600 years old and still running perfectly. When it strikes an hour, people gather around the clock to watch the amazing Procession of the 12 Apostles, which lasts a few minutes and ends with a rooster crowing and a cockerel flapping its wings.

Milan: Go shopping

The city is noted amongst the fashion capitals of the world. Whether you are a connoisseur of fine luxury, a bargain hunter or an average shopaholic, Milan ha got it covered. Even a simple stroll down the streets of Milan seems as if you have walked into an ongoing fashion photo shoot.

Switzerland: Stand on top Europe at Jungfrau Mountain

Referred as the Top of Europe, the mountain lies in the Bernese Alps and is the highlight of most Swiss holidays. This 4,158 metre tall mountain is particularly appreciated for its 360 degree panorama, offering you glimpses of the Plateaux, the Sphinx, the Aletsch Glacier and the regions towards the Swiss Midland.

Paris: Visit Mona Lisa

Mona Lisa, the masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci, graces the walls of the Louvre, where it is visited by millions of people annually in the museum. Be inspired by the curious smile and the mysterious expression on her face.

Naples: See the ruins of Pompeii

Rome is not the only place showcasing the remains of the Roman Empire. Visit Pompeii and be flattered and aggrieved at the same time. In AD 79, the volcano at Mount Vesuvius erased the city of Pompeii from the face of earth, burying it under a thick cover of volcanic ash. Centuries later, the city was discovered intact under the layers of debris. Skeletons, ruined buildings and destructed artefacts can be seen here.

Brussels: Take a delectable tour of the Chocolate Museum

Located close to the Brussels’ main market square, this small museum gives an insight into making of the mellow, heavenly tasting Belgian chocolates. And at the end of the tour, you get samples also.

So set off on a joyous and incredible journey of exotic locales presented to you on a Europe holiday tour.
