Garden of Luxembourg - The Pantheon of Paris

Take the time to walk through the Jardins de Luxembourg (Garden of Luxembourg) created in 1612 surrounding the Luxembourg Palace, this beautifully sculpted garden, is known for its lawns, tree-lined promenades, and fabulous flowerbeds. Still on the left bank, in the 5th arrondissement, you can visit the Pantheon which overlooks the entire city. Admire the stunning detailed architecture dating back to the 18th century, why not stop for a moment and sit on its steps.

 

Sacré Coeur Basilica - Montmartre

Perhaps you prefer making your way to the right bank in the 18th arrondissement to visit the stunningly beautiful Sacré Coeur Basilica, built entirely of travertine; you can make your way up via the funicular. After that take, the time to browse through Montmartre, where you will find a wide array of artists at work, surrounded by cafes and bistros.

Our suggestions for the day:

 

Bateau-Mouche

The Seine River which divides Paris into the Left Bank (Rive Gauche) and the Right Bank (Rive Droite), is an indispensable stop. Take a ride in one of the “bateau mouche” or riverboats with a guide ($), describing the various monuments and sites surrounding the river. Have a typical Parisian lunch on any park bench with a delicious baguette, some fine French cheese, and even wine.

 

Rue Mouffetard

Spend your evening browsing on one of the most infamous and animated streets in Paris, the Rue Mouffetard in the 5th arrondissement. Bistros, specialty shops offering fine cheeses and chocolate, fragrant flower shops and so much more. A favorite for tourists and locals alike. A truly Parisian thing to do!

Our suggestions for the day:  

 

Colosseum

A great place to start is the Colosseum, possibly one of Rome’s most iconic monuments and an absolute must. See where centuries ago, crowds gathered to cheer on as gladiators collided in historic battles. Though partially in ruins, the Colosseum remains one of the most visited sites in Rome.

 

The Pantheon of Rome

You can then make your way to the Pantheon, one of the most remarkable examples of the greatness of ancient Roman architecture. Unclear as to the original purpose of this structure, though listed as a temple, it is used today as a Christian church.  

 

Via Giulia - Via Margutti

Piazza di Spagna - Via Condotti - Piazza Navone

You can spend the rest of your day browsing around the Piazza di Spagna or take a seat on the infamous Spanish Steps, before making your way up to the cathedral. Memorable! Once you're done make your way back down to head to Via Condotti in case you’re looking to spoil yourself with a luxury fashion item. Later on, why not head out to Piazza Navone, the largest of its kind, where bistros and coffee shops welcome you and give you a glimpse of what a coffee break in Rome is like. Spoil yourself to a delicious lunch and cappuccino.

 

Fontana di Trevi

In the evening make sure to make your way to the Fontana di Trevi (Trevi Fountain), even more, mystical when illuminated.

You’ll see wonderful views of the bay of Naples before continuing to a local restaurant for lunch*. After lunch, you can take advantage of some free time to explore Capri at your leisure or to go shopping.
