Trip Summary
3 nights in Amsterdam

Easygoing, liberal Amsterdam is 'different.' Its citizens, bubbling along happily in their multiracial melting pot, are not so easily poured into the restrictive molds of trade and industry. More important, you can enjoy Amsterdam, its culture, history, and beauty, without stretching the limits of your credit cards. Few skyscrapers mar the clarity of the sky, and the populace mostly walks or bikes from place to place. The historic center recalls Amsterdam's Golden Age as the command post of a vast trading network and colonial empire, when wealthy merchants constructed gabled residences along neatly laid-out canals.

Visit Dam Square, Anne Frank House, Bloemenmarkt, Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Canal Belt, Jordaan, Red Light District and so much more!



3 nights in Paris

Paris is regarded as one of the most dynamic cities in Europe, and for good reason: the city assaults the senses; demanding to be seen, heard, touched, tasted, and smelled. Gaze at impressive monuments and savor its gourmet cheeses, chocolates, wines, and seafood. Paris is relatively small as capitals go, with many of its major sights and museums within walking distance of each other. A world of discovery awaits in every hidden corner and at all the famous sites, there is so much to explore.

Visit the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame Cathedral, Jardin des Tuileries, Latin Quarter, Avenue des Champs Elysees, Musee d'Orsay, Place de la Concorde, Arc de Triomphe and so much more!



2 nights in Arles

This beautiful town on the Rhône has been called 'the soul of Provence,' by art lovers, archaeologists, and historians. Van Gogh has painted luminously many delightful of its scenes. Arles has kept most of its antique charm. Its first-rate museums, excellent restaurants, and summer festivals (such as the early June international photography festival) make a visit rewarding.

Explore The Roman Amphitheater, Alyscamps, Cloisters of Saint-Trophime, Roman Theater, The Departmental Museum of Ancient Arles, The Foundation Vincent Van Gogh, Musee Reattu, Thermes de Constantin, Place de la République, and so much more!



3 nights in Provence - The Alpilles

The Alpilles boasts some of Provence`s most famous tourist sites, surrounded by fields of olive trees that stretch as far as the eye can see. Here and there you will glimpse landscapes of cypress trees, leading to lovely renovated country houses or ancient drystone farmhouses. Several typical Provencal villages encircle the foothills of the Alpilles range. With little stone houses gathered together around the Romanesque church, quaint fountains here and there, and the open squares shaded be trees and charming cafes.

Explore Saint Remy de Provence, Alleins, Les Baux de Provence, Mallemort, Maussane les Alpilles, Noves, Orgon, Tarascon, Beaucaire, and so much more!



1 nights in Marseille

Marseille is the second-largest city in France and its premier port. The Vieux Port, is still at the center of city life, with fishing boats, yachts and cabin cruisers all moored together, though larger ships. Ancient remains, early modern buildings, and twentieth century office and housing blocks make up the physical fabric of a thriving city. Urban infrastructure, Mediterranean climate and a convenient location make it an attractive center for vacations and conventions.

Explore MuCEM, Villa Mediterranee, Musee Regards de Provence, Vieux Port (Old Port), Cathedral of Saint Mary Major, Le Panier, Musee Cantini, Chateau d`If, Calanques National Park, Le Canebiere, Basilique Notre Dame de la Garde, and so much more!
