A European city break is the perfect excuse to pack your bags and check another charming destination off your bucket list.

A European city break is the perfect way to encounter some of the continent's most popular destinations, like the quirky German capital Berlin, or Bordeaux, the wine capital of France. And with Riviera Travel, all the planning is done for you, including handpicking hotels, organising overseas transfers and planning insightful guided tours and free time to explore. Imagine walking through Saint-Emillion's picture-perfect countryside and coming across a chateau with rows upon rows of grapevines. Or, if you are more of a romantic, taking your loved one (and a camera!) to Paris to capture memories in front of the Eiffel Tower. 

Wandering around a foreign city is fascinating, especially with experts to provide you with insightful knowledge. But don’t worry, you’ll get plenty of free time too, so take the time to learn about city culture when it suits you. Each city break is filled with carefully selected visits to give you the very best of every destination, like Parma, where you can try some of Italy’s finest cuisine (Cappelletti and the infamous gelato are coming to mind right now). You could even treat yourself to beer from one of Bruges’ oldest pubs and then top off your day by relaxing on a canal boat as you meander between Belgium’s medieval architecture. 

Not to mention that you’ll have the industry’s best Tour Managers escorting you on your visit. We can’t think of a better way to explore the heart of Europe. The only question is, where will you go first?
