European Vacations to Amsterdam

When booking European vacations to Amsterdam, expect a very colorful journey. The area is rife with clogs, cheeses, tulips and windmills. Eight windmills remain in Amsterdam, the most famous of which is De Gooyer, the perfect place to have a beer since its right next to prize-winning brewery Brouwerij t IJ. Travel to the Singel and pick out the best tulips at the Bloemenmarkt or taste the flavorful cheeses you can bring home from the Wegewijs emporium. There is a clog-making museum just outside the city called Klompenmakerij De Zaanse Schans where visitors can learn about the history and symbolism of the clog. More on the theme of colorful shoes, Amsterdams Historisch Museum displays objects like 700-year-old footwear pairs, demonstrating the urban evolution of the past eight centuries. Explore the 165 canals that encircle the city and keep the sea at bay. The most beautiful canal is probably Prinsengracht with its fun houseboats and wide green shades. If you walk in this area you will be able to spot the house of Anne Frank.

Royal Honeymoon European Vacations in Monaco

With less than two square miles to its name, the elegant little country in Southwestern Europe has the House of Grimaldi, its own royal family, the Paris Opera House, and the Monaco Grand Casino with its verdigris cupolas, rococo turrets and golden chandeliers that date back to the baroque period. The city-state overlooks the Mediterranean Sea, and is an ideal harbor for the worlds longest, most expensive yachts. A great architectural find, the Old Town has buildings that date back to the medieval times. The main streets are connected to narrow walkways and arched passageways. His Serene Highness Prince Rainier III fell in love with the late Grace Kelly in the Prince's Palace within the Rock quarter. For the heady fragrance of over 7,000 types of flowers, visit the Jardin Exotique where the exquisite Princess Grace Rose Garden continues to flourish.

See Lovely Edinburgh on European Vacations

Your European vacations cannot go wrong with a visit to Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland since the 15th century. The city has two main segments: the medieval fortress of Old Town and the neoclassical New Town which has had strong influences on European urban planning since the 18th century. Stretching across a ridge from the Castle to the Palace of Holyrood is the medieval Old Town. It includes many 16th and 17th century houses of nobles and merchants, distinct tenement buildings, and significant early public buildings such as the St. Giles Cathedral and Canongate Tolbooth. The Georgian New Town, built between 1767 and 1890, is a collection of seven new towns to the north of the Old Town. Taking advantage of its lush topography, neoclassical buildings in New Town are decorated with beautiful gardens. In the Age of Enlightenment it was a major center of thought and learning, and today continues its cultural and political links with mainland Europe. This unique blend of old and new has earned for Edinburgh the distinction of being named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
