Paris
Paris, art and river light An art-filled morning, a table worth lingering over and Paris unfolding from the water. Give the grand sights enough space to become part of a holiday.Paris, neighbourhoods and small pleasures Food shops, sheltered passages and the sound of a canal lock. A Paris holiday built around everyday discoveries, with the city’s stories close at hand.
Barcelona
Barcelona, colour and extraordinary buildings Mosaic curves, stained glass and a hillside garden above the city. Give Barcelona’s architecture time to surprise you, then step away for an ordinary neighbourhood lunch.Barcelona, from table to sea A market roof full of colour, art in the old town and a long breath of Mediterranean air. Find the pleasure in how the day unfolds, not how much fits into it.
Lisbon
Lisbon, rooftops to river Look across terracotta roofs, find lunch down a narrow street and leave a whole afternoon for the Tagus. Lisbon rewards a little direction and plenty of room.Lisbon, gardens and art-filled afternoons A museum beside a lake, a neighbourhood garden and contemporary art by the river. Follow Lisbon’s quieter cultural rhythm, with lunch given proper space.
Algarve
Lagos, golden coves and long lunches Sculpted headlands, a broad sweep of sand and evenings back in a proper town. Settle into the western Algarve instead of trying to see the whole coast at once.Tavira, island sands and lagoon life A river town, low white houses and the changing channels of the Ria Formosa. Discover the eastern Algarve through small places and afternoons that need not hurry.
Madeira
Madeira, gardens and the sea A garden above the bay, a fishing-town lunch and afternoons measured by the Atlantic. Let Funchal be your comfortable starting point.Madeira, the wilder coast Volcanic pools, forest air and villages beneath green ridges. This is an island journey with time to stop, rather than collect viewpoints.
Tenerife
Tenerife, gardens and old towns Wooden balconies, a garden morning and the Atlantic beyond a town square. Discover the greener north, at a pace that leaves room for lunch.Tenerife, sea and volcano A bright beach morning, a harbour lunch and one day in a landscape shaped by lava. Keep a southern base and give each outing its own space.
Vienna
Vienna, art and coffeehouses Choose a painting worth lingering over, then a table with time to spare. Grand Vienna becomes more personal when you stop trying to see it all.Vienna, Advent and small streets A museum in the morning, paper-wrapped gifts in the afternoon and the city glowing after dusk. Give each market a place in the day, not the whole itinerary.
Prague
Prague, the river and old stories Cross the river slowly, look up in the old lanes and give one museum a whole morning. Prague’s familiar skyline has quieter chapters close by.Prague, neighbourhoods and gardens An Art Nouveau street, a gallery in a former factory and a hilltop view at the end of the day. Find a Prague that reaches beyond the postcard.The original Paris & Barcelona itineraries
