Europe: It's easy as 1-2-3: Landmarks that are a must in Europe and how to plan it
Have you had that nightmare vacation, or recurring nightmare that you get lost in a foreign country and can't find your way? I've helped many clients figure out what, where and how they want to travel to get the best experiences out of their vacation. And not have the stress or anxiety of researching or planning it.
Here are a few of the things I've helped clients plan and enjoy through their Europe travels.
Landmarks are landmarks for a reason. Europe, with its centuries of rulers, wars, artwork, and more, as well as the wealth and opulence that came with the colonial power, has more than its fair share of landmarks that are recognized not just in their native nations but around the world, and I've put together 3 of them you need to make sure you see.
With its many dynasties, past and present, Europe’s landmarks are often dominated by castles and palaces. Europe is a continent whose history, art, and architecture have made a deep impression on the rest of the world. The world cannot complete its school education without studying the achievements of the ancient Greeks and the Roman Empire. One has found himself to be deeply influenced by the artistic achievements of the renaissance painters and architects. So, it is natural when travelers decide to go to Europe to see the wonders of the Antiquity and Renaissance Age firsthand. That said, Europe has got so many such destinations that it becomes important for one to prioritize as it is not possible to cover all the heritage destinations in one go. So, here are some of the major heritage destinations in Europe worth visiting.
ATHENS –
The capital city of Greece was one of the oldest and the most critical city-states during the Antiquity period. Its citizens included Aristotle and Plato. Some of the major attractions amongst monuments over here include the Acropolis (which includes the Parthenon, the Temple of Zeus, Hadrian's Arch, the Theatre of Dionysus, etc.). Athens has some of the best museums in the world and the museum at Acropolis, the National Archaeological Museum, and the Byzantine and Christian Museum are some of the famous museums in Greece.
ROME –


The capital of Italy presently and the capital of the almighty Roman Empire earlier, this old city has got history flowing through its veins. As the political capital of the Roma Empire and later as the Spiritual Center of the Christian World Rome has always occupied center stage in Human Civilization's consciousness. This makes a trip to the city a must, a place that would never run out of attractions. From the Colosseum to the Pantheon, from the mausoleums of Augustus and Hadrian to the Forums Rome has many remains from the Roman Empire. These are some of the popular draws for millions of tourists worldwide.
PARIS –
The capital city of France this historical city has heritage sites spanning from the Middle Ages to the French Renaissance and from the French classical period to the Modern Era. Landmark monuments like the Cathedral of Notre Dame and the Cathedral of Saint Chappelle, the Palais de Louvre, the district of Marais, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Eiffel Tower are just some of the numerous monuments present in Paris. One can also not forget that Paris is also the home of arguably the world's best painting, the Mona Lisa.
These three cities are just three of the many well-preserved historical centers that one can visit in Europe. Cities like Prague, Krakow, London, Barcelona, etc. are also among some of the most highly rated heritage sites in Europe. They are frequented by many visitors from across the world. The best part about these sites in Europe is that they are easily accessible by Air and there are plenty of options available for hotels.
