Venice

Venice defies description. Many have tried, from Goethe to Brodsky, but it has to be seen, felt and wandered through to be believed. Don't just stick to the tried, true and obvious. Sure, the Basilica di San Marco, Palazzo Ducale, Peggy Guggenheim Collection and Gallerie dell'Accademia are all important. But 'lesser' sights like Ca' Rezzonico, Ca' Pesaro, the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute and Arsenale all give special insight into the city. A city for meanderers, Venice rewards every minute devoted to penetrating its cat's cradle of intertwined lanes. And while millions stream into this tiny city, it's easy enough to find peace and discover the extraordinary: after all, barely a building here isn't a unique monument of some sort. Lose yourself in the labyrinth - that's part of the fun!

The charming canals of Venice have been synonymous with romance since long before Shakespeare and the Renaissance. Local legend maintains that lovers will find eternal happiness if they share a kiss while passing beneath the Bridge of Sighs on a sunset gondola ride. Rather unromantically, the bridge’s name came about because it connected a courtroom and a prison, and criminals would often sigh as they took a final look at the beautiful city before being locked away.

Few cities in the world glide so effortlessly between the present and the past like Vienna. Its splendid historical face is easily recognised: grand imperial palaces and bombastic baroque interiors, museums flanking magnificent squares and, above all, the Hofburg - where the Habsburg rulers lived, loved and married into empires. One of Europe’s most dynamic urban spaces. Just a stone’s throw from Hofburg, the MuseumsQuartier houses some of the world’s most provocative contemporary art behind a striking basalt facade. Outside, a courtyard buzzes on summer evenings with throngs of Viennese drinking and chatting. Nearby, restaurants brim with imbibers enjoying the pleasures of wine and food, while across the yard a museum cafe pulsates with beats.It’s also a place where sushi and Austro-Asian fusion restaurants stand alongside the traditional Beisl.

Ideas For your Incentive:
The Beautiful Blue Danube:
Enjoy an excursion up the beautiful blue Danube to the Wachau region. To the strains of waltz music played by the ship’s band, you steam past a landscape steeped in legend – little winegrowing villages, baroque towns and terraced wineyards. In the evening your ship berths in Vienna again, where you can enjoy an exhilarating shipboard party – complete with music, dancing, and the Viennese specialities of your own choosing.

Dining on divine desserts:
If you have always wanted to know how the wafer-thin pastry for strudels is made, and the secret of the filling that makes an apple strudel taste so divinely Viennese, why not watch a top chef at work? Leading Viennese restaurants give you an opportunity to learn the art of strudel making. Once your work is done, you double your enjoyment when you eat the fruit of your labours!

An evening out Viennese Style:
An evening spent eating, drinking and singing at a heuriger – a typically Viennese wine tavern – passes all too fast. The fun really starts after a trip on an old-time tram where they serve wine and pretzel: the waiters bring delicious local specialities – washed down by wine, of course – and for your entertainment, sentimental Viennese songs performed by original “Schrammel” musicians. Romantic walks by torchlight through the vineyards at night are particularly popular, as are wine tastings and the grape harvest in autumn.

Gala Evening in an exquisite setting:
Just like bygone times: guests are driven to the palace in so-called fiacres (a horse-drawn carriage), where they are welcomed by performing magicians and musicians, and a “Knight of the Rose” presents each lady with a rose. In these magnificent rooms, the waiters are dressed in baroque costumes, a Master of Ceremonies grandly announces each course of a gala dinner, and the guests are entertained by singers and dancers. There are no limits to this display of splendour – how about an exclusive performance by the Vienna Boy’s Choir followed by fireworks at midnight in the palace gardens?

Vienna is all this and a lot more... Make it a lifetime experience in Vienna...

Paris

Paris, the city of light, has many of the world's most visited attractions,. Among them, the Eiffel tower, the Louvre palace, the Notre-Dame cathedral and the near-by Versailles palace are truly unique. The business district of La Defense with the Grande Arche from Danish architect Otto von Spreckelsen testifies to the economic and artistic vitality of Paris.

Paris probably has more familiar landmarks than any other city in the world. As a result, first-time visitors often arrive in the French capital with all sorts of expectations: of grand vistas, of intellectuals discussing weighty matters in cafés, of romance along the Seine, of naughty nightclub revues, of rude people who won’t speak English. If you look hard enough, you can probably find all of those. But another approach is to set aside the preconceptions of Paris and to explore the city’s avenues and backstreets as if the tip of the Eiffel Tower or the spire of Notre Dame wasn’t about to pop into view at any moment.

Our Top Picks for Paris

Paris' new museums
Introduce yourself to one of Paris’ new museums: the architecturally stunning (and content-rich) Musée du Quai Branly or the Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine

The Seine
Enjoy the views of the timeless Seine from the banks or on an evening cruise
The Marais
Check out the stately hôtels particuliers (private mansions) in the Marais by day and the district’s throbbing bars and clubs after dark
