6: NORTH
Pay a visit to Copenhagen’s Little Mermaid, then rail past Scotland’s picturesque glens. Drive around Ireland’s lovely Ring of Kerry, dine in Gordon Ramsay’s much-lauded London restaurant, or hop across all five British Isles at once.

26: SOUTH
Do you prefer a romp around Rome and the spectacular Cinque Terre, or a luxury-yacht cruise around the Greek Isles? You might taste fine wines in Tuscany, tapas in Barcelona, or a Sicilian cannoli that’ll make you swoon.

56: EAST
Visit a traditional Turkish bath and the "Black Madonna" in Poland. Watch a "Swan Lake" performance in St. Petersburg, wander Moscow’s Red Square, or cruise between the two along the scenic Volga. And speaking of scenic rivers, few compare to the storied Danube…

66: WEST
Stay in a Parisian palace, an ancestral Loire château with the count and countess, or an opulent hotel with views of Versailles. Waltz your way around Vienna, tiptoe through the tulips in Holland, and dine in an authentic GDR restaurant while in Berlin.
