London, Paris and the Alps
In London and Paris, the monuments and landmarks at every turn recall the long history of two continental powers.
Head from the big cities into the scenic countryside of Burgundy and the beautiful landscapes of Lucerne and the Swiss Alps. In Germany, storybook sights like Neuschwanstein Castle and Munich’s Marienplatz add a folkloric quality to the experience.
