More About Rest of Europe

This section of our website highlights other areas of Europe that offer luxury hotels and resorts. Europe is a fantastic choice if you don‘t want to travel too far from home and there‘s a diverse range of countries you can visit. You can return to a country you know and love or explore somewhere new and exciting - the choice is yours! Taking our featured destinations one by one: Denmark is a fascinating country rich in history. Copenhagen is ideal for a lively city break but there are other options to consider such as a Holland to Denmark cycling holiday perhaps...? Sailing is a popular choice too so we can price up a sailing holiday if that's what interests you. France has the ever-popular and romantic city of Paris - where you can take a hop-on hop-off sightseeing cruise down the Seine, visit the famous Louvre, tantalise your tastebuds with gastronomic delights, take a trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower and much much more. The French Riviera is chic and sophisticated with glamorous resorts including Cannes and St Tropez. For those seeking a more laid-back and relaxing beach holiday, travel to Brittany, Aquitaine, or Normandy. Malta is a pretty island lying just south of Sicily. With cobblestone streets, a rich history, and colourful countryside, it is an easy-reach destination that feels a world away from normal life. Montenegro isn't on most people's radar when it comes to planning a trip to Europe, but it's an amazing destination with spectacular scenery, great beaches, and lively resorts. Pair it with a visit to Croatia and you've got a memorable holiday right there! Switzerland delivers dramatic scenery, beautiful lakes, and impressive mountains.

Leisure Activities

Eiffel Tower

One of the most famous landmarks in the world, the Eiffel Tower was constructed between 1887 and 1889 as the magnificent entrance to the World Fair in 1889. At a height of 324m, it’s the tallest structure in Paris. There are three levels for visitors and it has restaurants on the first and second level.

The Rock of Gibraltar

Standing 426m high on the tip of the Iberian Peninsular, The Rock of Gibraltar offers magnificent views of the African coastline, the convergence of the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean as well as views of the city and Costa Del Sol.

Norweigan Fjords

Incredibly, there are more than one thousand fjords all along the coast of Norway. If you’re interested in spectacular scenery and stunning photographic opportunities, the Norweigan Fjords are a perfect destination. Probably the best way to visit the area is by one of the many cruise lines that offer cruises from many UK ports.
