Overview

Globus

Like the world’s most beloved tapestries hanging in Europe’s most famous museums, this 14-day tour of Europe intertwines stunning scenery, centuries-old culture, and the timeless stories of seven countries to present an unforgettable experience. From the canals of Amsterdam to the casinos of Monte Carlo, we’ve stitched together an exciting array of sights and scenes to truly capture the big picture of Europe. In addition to the stunning imagery of the castle-dotted Rhine Valley, the snow-dusted Swiss Alps, and the olive-clad Tuscan hills, you’ll be introduced to the artful subjects who help tell the tales of time-the woodcarvers of the Black Forest, the glassblowers of Venice, and the beer makers from Rhineland. A perfectly woven itinerary of fascinating cities, charming countryside, and creative cuisine, this multi-country tour threads together the most memorable sights and experiences of Europe.

Don’t miss a stitch after your European Tapestry tour as a high-speed train weaves its way to London. Walk down the aisle where the endless train on Princess Diana’s wedding gown followed her to the altar at St. Paul’s Cathedral. Raise a pint in a pub or lift your gaze on the lofty London Eye with free time to spare as Big Ben chimes. A jolly good time!

Rome

Rome

<p>Sprawled across seven legendary hills, romantic and beautiful Rome was one &#x0D; of the great centers of the ancient world. Although its beginning is shrouded &#x0D; in legend and its development is full of intrigue and struggle, Rome has always &#x0D; been and remains the Eternal City.</p>&#x0D; <p>Rome enjoyed its greatest splendor during the 1st and 2nd centuries when art &#x0D; flourished, monumental works of architecture were erected, and the mighty Roman &#x0D; legions swept outward, conquering all of Italy. These victorious armies then &#x0D; swept across the Mediterranean and beyond to conquer most of the known world. &#x0D; With Rome's establishment as capital of the western world, a new ascent to glory &#x0D; began.</p>&#x0D; <p>Today's Rome, with its splendid churches, ancient monuments and palaces, spacious &#x0D; parks, tree-lined boulevards, fountains, outdoor cafes and elegant shops, is &#x0D; one of the world’s most attractive and exciting cities. Among the most famous &#x0D; monuments is the Colosseum. As you walk its cool, dark passageways, imagine &#x0D; the voices that once filled the arena as 50,000 spectators watched combats between &#x0D; muscled gladiators and ferocious animals.</p>&#x0D; <p>Stop to see the remains of the Forum, once the city's political and commercial &#x0D; center. In later times, Rome's squares were enhanced with such imposing structures &#x0D; as the Vittorio Emanuele Monument and grandiose fountains like the Fontana di &#x0D; Trevi. Join the millions who stand in awe of Christendom’s most magnificent &#x0D; church and admire the timeless masterpieces of Michelangelo's frescoes in the &#x0D; Sistine Chapel.</p>&#x0D; <p>Rome jars the senses and captures the soul. Grasp all you can during the short, &#x0D; precious time you have available in the Eternal City. With so much to see and &#x0D; do, a day or two will only allow you a sampling of the city's marvelous treasures.</p>&#x0D; <p><i>Caution: As in many big cities and tourist destinations purse snatching &#x0D; and pickpocketing is common. Valuable jewelry and excess cash are best left &#x0D; in a safety deposit box in your hotel.</i></p>&#x0D; <p> <b>Shopping </b>For most visitors shopping for beautiful Italian leather articles, &#x0D; designer shoes, fashions for men and women, linens, knitwear, silk scarves and &#x0D; ties is a favorite pastime. Except for tourist-oriented shops, the majority &#x0D; of stores are closed on Sundays. Some of the department stores, such as Rinascente, &#x0D; open in the late afternoon on Sundays.</p>&#x0D; <p><b>Cuisine</b> Rome's choice of restaurants is mindboggling as is the variety &#x0D; of cuisine. Whether your meal is at a top-rated restaurant or a rustic trattoria, &#x0D; you can be sure that you will enjoy your food, especially when accompanied by &#x0D; wines from the hill towns surrounding Rome.</p>&#x0D; <p><b>Other Sights</b> Rome's attractions are endless, and depending on how much &#x0D; time you have at your disposal a careful selection has to be made about what &#x0D; to see. Be aware of horrendous traffic conditions and major construction work &#x0D; all around the city in preparation of Jubilee 2000, the Holy Year. Some of the &#x0D; sights not to be missed:</p>&#x0D; <p>Piazza Venezia - This busy square is easily recognized by its imposing Vittorio &#x0D; Emanuele II Monument. The white marble structure was inaugurated in 1911 as &#x0D; a symbol of Italy’s unification.</p>&#x0D; <p>The Forum - Once the civic heart of ancient Rome, today the remains include &#x0D; a series of ruins, marble fragments, isolated columns and some worn arches.</p>&#x0D; <p>Colosseum - No visit to Rome is complete without a stop at this awe-inspiring &#x0D; theater, which is among the world’s most celebrated buildings. Here ancient &#x0D; Rome flocked to see gladiatorial contests and numerous other spectacles.</p>&#x0D; <p>Trevi Fountain - Take a stroll to Rome's famous fountain. A spectacular fantasy &#x0D; of mythical sea creatures and cascades of splashing water, the fountain is one &#x0D; of the city's foremost attractions. Legend has it that visitors must toss a &#x0D; coin into the fountain to ensure their return to Rome.</p>&#x0D; <p>St. Peter's Square - Part of Vatican City, this square created by Bernini &#x0D; is considered one of the loveliest squares in the world. Twin Doric colonnades &#x0D; topped with statues of various saints and martyrs flank either side of the square. &#x0D; In the center stands an 84-foot obelisk, brought from Egypt in 37 A.D.</p>&#x0D; <p>St. Peter's Basilica - At the head of the square stands Christendom's most &#x0D; magnificent church, which was begun in 1452 on the site where St. Peter was &#x0D; buried. Throughout the following 200 years, such Renaissance masters as Bramante, &#x0D; Michelangelo, Raphael and Bernini worked on its design and created an unparalleled &#x0D; masterpiece. Of special note are Michelangelo's Pieta and the bronze canopy &#x0D; over the high altar by Bernini. The immense dome was designed by Michelangelo.</p>&#x0D; <p>Vatican Museum - To see this museum's immense collection would take days. &#x0D; As you enter, there are special posters that plot a choice of four color-coded &#x0D; itineraries. They are repeated throughout the museum and are easy to follow. &#x0D; It is a good idea to pickup a leaflet at the main entrance and concentrate on &#x0D; exhibits of major interest. Of course, the Sistine Chapel is a must. Most likely &#x0D; you may have to wait in line to enter. </p>&#x0D;
