Vienna is the capital, hub of the country’s musical life and littered with beautiful buildings. Music, art and architecture reach baroque perfection in Salzburg, Mozart’s birthplace. Innsbruck’s snow-capped peaks frame its fascinating historic buildings. The rhythm of daily life throughout Austria has a musical beat and music festivals fill its calendar. |

| Visitors to the Czech Republic spend their time in its near mythical capital, Prague. Granted, the Golden City does exert a siren pull, and you could spend endless hours there by roaming through the maze of old town, discovering its back street secrets, getting to know each stone saint on the Charles Bridge. The country highlighted with its stately old spa towns, fanciful castles, spruce forests and subterranean caves. The Czech Republic is a feast of art and history. |

| England is where world-renowned institutions and symbols remain cherished and intact, from Big Ben at Westminster to Canterbury Cathedral, Enton College to the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Wembley Stadium to Lord’s Cricket Ground, Stonehenge to Tower Bridge. But the load is carried with panache as this tiny entity strides in to the 21st century offering designer fashion, cutting edge clubbing, and fine wining and dining as never before. England’s presence on the global stage remains large, one of the many legacies of an empire long gone but not quite forgotten. |

| Having exported chaos, drama, tragedy and democracy before most nations stayed up late enough, Greece boasts an unrivalled legacy. From smoggy Athens to the blindingly bright islands dotting the sea, ancient fragments abound- the belly button of the cosmos at Delphi, fallen columns galore on sacred Delos, frescoed Minoan palaces on Crete and even, quite possibly, the remnants of Atlantis at Santorini. |

| Winston Churchill famously described Russia as a ‘riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma’, and this remains an apt description of a place most outsiders know very little about. A composite of the extravagant glories of old Russia and the drab legacies of the Soviet era, Russia is a country that befuddles and beguiles but never bores. |

| Norway, Denmark and Sweden are called as Scandinavian countries. Cute and compact, Denmark is a harmonious blend of the old and the new. Ancient castles and Viking ring forts exist side-by-side with lively cities and the sleekest modern design you’ll ever see. Norway has a ruggedly beautiful frontier character, with easy access to wild outdoor country and forested green belts circling even the largest cities. Sweden is a land of contradictions that make an unexpectedly pleasing whole. Starkly beautiful lake and forest landscapes contrast with stylish, modern cities. |
