Day 1

london (tower bridge),uk

Departure: 16:00

Of all the European capitals, London resonates most profoundly in the minds of travellers. We soak up London before we even realise it exists and when we finally approach the city, it doesn't let us down. There are the red double-deckers, the bobbies and stoic guards at Buckingham, Westminster Abbey, and the chimes of Big Ben, sounding familiar, as we've heard them before. We see these things with a sense of satisfaction. Yet there's plenty to surprise. London isn't quaint. London isn't a museum, though you could spend all your time hopping from one to the next. It's a bustling, urban sprawl, with traffic jams, shops, and a remarkable international population. Visit the many monuments with nearly a millennium's worth of history, from Chaucer's grave to the pub where the captain of the Mayflower had a pint to Piccadilly Circus, one of London’s most snapped sights. But don’t overlook modern London, with its intensely active theatres, international cuisine, political protests, the latest in music and fashion, punks and peers, and everyone in between. In 1777, writer Samuel Johnson said when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, and the phrase still rings true. There's something different to experience every day in London.

Day 7

lisbon, portugal

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 16:00

Lisbon is known as the city of seven hills due to its location, the city spreads across steep hillsides that overlook the River Tagus. Romantic and cosmopolitan, the city presents its typical red roofs to the visitors that want to get to know its every inch. Lisbon surprises with its natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere. The Portuguese capital offers lots of museums, libraries, a massive port, churches and palaces and stunning views of the River Tagus. Lisbon was once considered a poor and chaotic city. Currently it has experienced a resurgence in the style of the 14th and 15th centuries, when it was part of that vast empire stretching from Brazil to India. The reason for this was the World Expo held in 1998, a new bridge over the Tagus was built and the city's underground network was remodelled. The resurgence of the city then continued to host several matches during Euro 2004, also held there the MTV Europe Music Awards in 2005. Many of its most beautiful buildings date from the 14th and 15th centuries, especially the ones located in the Belem district. There are also many buildings from the 18th century, which are located mostly in the Baixa area of central Lisbon and were reconstructed almost completely after a devastating earthquake that hit the town in 1755. The historic centre of the city, standing on The Seven Hills, presents steep streets and picturesque alleys. On the west side of the city, there is Monsanto Forest Park, Lisbon’s lung, with an area of 10 km and one of the largest in Europe. The capital’s majestic port has 3 docks commonly used for several cruises and it is, currently, the busiest port on the European Atlantic coast. Lisbon is a city with centuries of history and with an ambitious attitude, marrying the historic with the modern, the traditional with the cutting edge. Strolling through the old quarters one can hear the traditional Fado sung and played in small restaurants in town. In the hilltop district of Bairro Alto, dozens of restaurants and bars line the narrow streets, with jazz, reggae, electronica filling the air and revellers partying until dawn. Nightclubs scattered all over town make fine use of old spaces, whether on riverside docks or tucked away in 18th-century mansions. Lisbon presents itself to the world as a cosmopolitan and lively city, with alternatives for every taste, especially in the summer months when its many bars, terraces and restaurants are crammed with people.

In the interior, the popular White Villages Route comes highly recommended. It hosts three festivals of International Tourist Interest: the prestigious Carnival of Cadiz, the unique horse racing events on the beach at Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and the elegant Horse Fair in Jerez de la Frontera. Part of the province also falls within the Doñana National Park, and there are also another five nature reserves in Cadiz's exceptional natural environment. Cádiz is also renowned for its delicious cuisine, particularly its “pescaíto frito” (perfectly-fried platters of assorted fresh fish) and shellfish, ideally paired with the wines found on the Wine and Brandy routes in the Marco de Jerez region.

Palma de Mallorca is the only true city on the island. A city located on the island of Mallorca, one of the Balearic Islands off the east coast of Spain. The city has become a destination in its own right, rather than simply a stop-over for package holidaymakers on their way to the many beach resorts on the island, thanks to its increasingly cosmopolitan atmosphere, its cutting-edge galleries and museums, a thriving cultural scene and an ever-growing number of chic boutiques, trendy bars, nightclubs and restaurants. Palma de Mallorca is a fantastic place to visit. It boasts a rich architectural diversity as the city has many different styles all blended together. The remnants of Arab and Jewish cultures, the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture of its churches, convents and manor houses, in addition to its comprehensive infrastructure of cultural attractions, make Palma a unique cultural destination. Don't miss the chance to stroll down the narrow streets, take a good look at the interior courtyards and look up to see the impressive architecture on the heights of the various buildings where Gaudi and his disciples left their mark. The city's heritage is a faithful reflection of the peoples and cultures that have passed through the island over the centuries. As a versatile, cosmopolitan city on the beachfront, Palma, the capital of the Balearics, has something for everyone.
