European Vacations to London

All European vacations must include a stop at the great city of London. Hear mass at the St. Pauls Cathedral, an iconic London landmark that was designed by Sir Christopher Wren and completed in 1708. The beautiful mosaics on the walls have captured the admiration of many guests. In the financial district, you can see the Bank of England and the Lord Mayors residence at the Mansion House. No visit to the British capital is complete without seeing the Tower of London. This medieval fortress is almost 1,000 years old; in old times it used to be a prison, a mint, a zoo, and a royal palace. A selection from the Crown Jewels of the royal family is on display, including the Kohi-i-Noor and the Cullinan diamonds. You can take the Thames river cruise for a really enjoyable afternoon seeing an array of attractions from the water. Once you are on land, stroll along the river banks and head to the London Eye; this iconic Ferris wheel used to be the highest in the world at 135 meters.

Monaco Honeymoon European Vacations

The fairy-tale setting of Monaco is a top destination of choice for honeymooners on European vacations. The Principality of Monaco is less than two square miles, but is definitely not short on elegant offerings -- the royal House of Grimaldi, the Paris Opera House, and the Monaco Grand Casino which is lavishly decorated with baroque-style rococo turrets, verdigris cupolas, and golden chandeliers. Overlooking the vast Mediterranean Sea, this tiny city-state is an excellent harbor for the world's most luxurious yachts. A great architectural find, the Old Town has buildings that date back to the medieval times. Narrow walkways and vaulted passageways branch off from the main streets. Visit the Rock of Monaco, where his Serene Highness Prince Rainier III fell in love with Grace Kelly. A must-see attraction is the Jardin Exotique which houses 7,000 different types of flowers grown at the exquisite Princess Grace Rose Garden.

Kids are not left out, as activities targeted to different age groups are also available. Celebrate Barcelona and have a taste of local cooking.
