European Horizons
When you travel down through Europe, every country, city, and street offers something new.
In Paris and London, experience all the classic sites and cultural icons (and don’t forget to indulge in a French patisserie and crispy plate of fish and chips). In Spain, a range of influences creates an eclectic landscape—Madrid’s traditional Spanish culture gives way to Moorish and North African impressions in the south.
