4 Nights in Paris

4 Nights in Paris

Paris is situated in the northern part of France. The city sprawls over both banks of the Seine River and on two islands: the Îles Saint Louis and the larger Île de la Cité. The historical city center is built around the Seine, and it has been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991. For a glimpse into the oldest part of Paris, take a stroll along the Seine and around the 1st and 4th districts to admire iconic landmarks, such as the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris or the Louvre Museum, among others. But leave some space and time for the rest of the city's districts, as each of Paris' 20 arrondissements possesses incredible treasures to discover.

Shopping in Paris

Suggested activities for an additional cost, depending on your choice

In Paris, fashion and shopping are at the core of the city's culture. During your trip to the French capital, we recommend spending at least a few hours roaming around the city's main shopping districts to feel what it's like to be a true Parisian. From luxury shopping at high-end fashion brand stores along the Champs-Élysées or window shopping at the shiny department stores that line Boulevard Haussmann, such as the famous Galeries Lafayette, to mingling with locals at the small boutiques of the most off-the-beaten-path neighborhoods, like Canal Saint-Martin, Paris offers endless opportunities to indulge in this favorite French pastime. For a more immersive experience, consider combining shopping with a private tour of one of the city's most picturesque neighborhoods; either Saint-Germain-des-Prés or Le Marais, probably the best neighborhood for shopping in Paris.

3 Nights in Rome

3 Nights in Rome

The capital of Italy is a vibrant, energetic and stylish city. While thoroughly modern in sensibility, Rome is also home to some of the world’s most important works of classic art and architecture. This city has been an epicenter for culture, politics and religion for more than 2,500 years. From the Spanish Steps to the Vatican, there are more than enough sights to keep even the most active tourists busy and even somewhere as popular as Rome you can find places just off the tourist trail and bustling with locals. But it’s also nice to slow down and enjoy Rome’s famous cafes and restaurants, which can be just as beguiling as the buildings. Lounge with an espresso on the Campo de Fiori and watch the changing light on the fountains and the facades. Visit the Vatican and explore some of the world’s most beautiful churches. Rome really comes alive at night, when restaurants and wine bars bring a renewed vitality to the city. You’ll also have opportunities for day trips to local vineyards, olive groves, and other places producing regional delicacies. No matter what your interests, or what kind of holiday you’re looking for, Rome will be an enjoyable destination.
