|  | | Holland’s largest city is alive with culture and attractions. Set against a backdrop of impressive waterways and architecture, the whole city is a living, breathing museum. Open-minded and cosmopolitan, bicycles and trams rule the city streets, making it ideal to explore the sites, such as the Van Gogh Museum, Anne Frank House and Heineken Museum by foot. The impressive nightlife includes some of Europe’s best nightclubs, bars (and cafes) not to mention the unmentionable world-famous red light district!
| |  | | At first glance Athens appears to be by engulfed by modern development, but further exploration reveals ancient temples, neoclassical town houses, Byzantine churches and a hedonistic late-night party scene. Athens is both ancient and modern, with a city skyline dominated by the 2,500-year-old temples of the Acropolis. The 2nd-century Odeon of Herodes Atticus and Lykavittos Theatre play host to a stream of entertaining open-air concerts and festivals throughout the summer months.

|  | |  | | The capital of a reunified Germany, Berlin is one of Europe’s most vibrant cities. Laden with historical charm and modern grand architecture such as the Reichstag, home to the Federal German Parliament, the city’s museums and memorials recognise what happened in the past. Yet Berlin certainly celebrates the here and now with its colourful carnivals, festivals and concerts. Berlin has it all, including a surprisingly laid-back attitude and some of the liveliest nightlife in Europe, with everything from authentic beer halls to Latino nightclubs.

You’ll find masterpieces by Magritte, Rubens and Bruegel at the BOZAR's art museums, opera performed at La Monnaie, and concerts taking place in Ancienne Belgique and La Botanique. But don’t forget to sample some of the tasty local beers before you leave.
