Amsterdam

Amsterdam, the capital city of the Netherlands, sits along a network of UNESCO-listed historic canals in the province of North Holland. Also known as the ‘Venice of the North’, this picturesque city with its gabled facades and cultural heritage holds the promise of a memorable vacation. Numerous museums and important landmarks scattered across the city provide a substantial dose of history. Music buffs can look forward to attending performances by world-class virtuosos at one of many renowned concert halls. Sprawling fields filled with colorful tulips as well as other blooms and ancient windmills by the water beckon you to explore open spaces. Biking and canal cruises are ideal ways of enjoying a unique perspective of this city by the water. While there is plenty to keep you busy in this cosmopolitan hub, find time to explore Amsterdam’s culinary scene for a taste of authentic Dutch cuisine. The city’s vibrant nightlife scene is underscored by a large number of discotheques and excellent jazz clubs. Typical bruine kroegs or brown cafes offering artisanal beer see packed terraces during the summer months and are not to be missed!

Paris

Paris, standing by the romantic River Seine, by any other name would have been just as enigmatic and iconic. The city conjures up visions of cafés, wide tree-lined avenues, riverside promenades and a proverbial night life set to a background score of lively accordions playing Edith Piaf’s La Vie en Rose. A city of lovers, artists and fashion alike, Paris has set the tune for avant garde movements down the centuries. The city has always been at the vanguard of social and creative revolutions for generations – whether in art, fashion, gastronomy and cinema or with passionate ideals of liberty and equality. The city is peppered with quintessential museums like the Louvre with their equally celebrated displays of Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People, Rodin’s Thinker or Monet’s Impression, Sunrise. Stroll down its streets or sit down with a coffee and croissants at a corner café. Watch artists sketching the iconic Arc de Triomphe, fashionistas walking down the avenue des Champs-Élysées, and lovers sailing down the Seine. Peopled by towering maestros like Pablo Picasso and Modigliani to Salvador Dali and Coco Chanel, this is in Voltaire’s words: ‘the best of all possible worlds’.
