Explore Stockholm on European Vacations

Since Stockholm was founded more than 750 years ago, there has been a settlement in the Old City of Gamla Stan. As early as 1252, pillaging raids have been spotted ravaging the narrow medieval alleys, old churches, town squares, and of course, the Royal Palace. Nowadays, instead of horses or donkeys with carriages on the streets, you can find bus tours galore with tourists from all over the world. You can easily avoid them by keeping off the main streets and instead taking the quaint side streets during your European vacations. Celebrate how far the country has gone by visiting the Stadshuset, the City Hall. Stadshuset is Stockholm's most prominent landmark and one of the most important too, as it hosts the Nobel Prize banquet every year. See the 10,000-piped organ, the impressive Golden Hall where Swedish history is depicted on wall mosaics with 18 million pieces in gold leaf, and the Council Chamber, which resembles the open roof of a Viking longhouse.

European Vacations to Charming Lisbon

One of the most popular destinations for travelers on European vacations is the city of Lisbon. It is Portugals very small capital city, but truly charming and picturesque. A port city, its shores are lined with cobblestone streets, sidewalks accented with mosaics, rolling hills, and pastel-colored houses. Take a relaxing ride on an antique wooden streetcar or hang out at one of the many Art Nouveau cafes. Head up to Barrio Alto for breathtaking views of the city; you can get there via a 1902 street elevator -- the Elevator de Santa Justa -- that departs from Baixa. Another place to hit for equally breathtaking scenes is the viewing platform at the Padro dos Descobrimentos, a stunning 179-foot monument that commemorates the Age of Discoveries. After visiting the museum inside, head to the Belm Tower -- a four-storey, 100-foot 16th century tower built from lioz limestone, which played a considerable role in the Portuguese maritime achievements of that time.

European Vacations to Ancient Greece

Take a trip back to the old times by including a tour to ancient Greece on your European vacations. At the heart of Athens is a massive structure called Hadrians Arch which spans an ancient road leading to the Acropolis and a complex of structures on the eastern side of the city. On this complex once stood the Temple of Olympian Zeus, rumored to have been built to honor the arriving Roman Emperor Hadrian who made many significant contributions to the city of Athens. From Athens, you can drive through the fertile plains of Boeotia and arrive at Delphi. The center of the ancient world, it is located along the slopes of the imposing Mount Parnassus. Here you can see the ruins of the Sanctuary of Apollo Pythios and the Temple of Apollo. Marvel at the wealth of the ancient times with a visit to the Treasury of the Athenians. Visit the museum where you can learn about ancient Greek masterpieces such as the world renowned bronze Charioteer.
