0 EUR | Name: MONA LISA'S SMILE AND THE LOUVRE MUSEUM Location: PARIS Details: "Open to all since 1793" The Louvre Museum has embodied the concept of a truly "universal" institution. The priceless artworks housed in the Louvre are held for the benefit of present and future generations. The 35 000 works of art include such famous master pieces as the Mona Lisa, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, the Venus de Milo. Our local expert will bring them to life as we have a look at the most important pieces of the various collections. |
0 EUR | Name: AN EVENING AT THE MOULIN ROUGE Location: PARIS Details: The Moulin Rouge Theatre is the epitome of French cabaret shows. Enjoy a dinner at the Moulin Rouge before you admire the colourful show "Feerie" featuring more than 100 artists and dancers, and more than 1000 costumes. |
0 EUR | Name: AN EVENING IN THE ARTIST'S QUARTER OF MONTMARTRE Location: PARIS Details: Join our local expert on a short walking tour of the lanes and squares around Sacre Coeur Church. Admire a spectacular view over the roofs of the City of Light and love. Listen to the stories, and admire the artwork of the artists at Place du Tertre where some of the French impressionists started their career. There is free time for dinner, and you'll be spoilt for choice by the many restaurants in the area. On the way back to the hotel your local experts provides a short orientation of the city. |
0 EUR | Name: SALZBURG - MOZART'S SOUND OF MUSIC Location: LINZ Details: True, Salzburg is the birth-place of Mozart and you will find the face of the city's most famous son everywhere. Salzburg is also the setting for the Sound of Music Movie, which has shaped the city's perception in the minds of generations. But Salzburg is much more. It is a city with history based on the salt trade from the nearby Alpine Mountains, it is a city of beautiful baroque buildings, and a city perched between the mountains and green waters of the Salzach river. It is a city with a long cultural heritage and in the small busy lanes like the "Getreidegasse" with its wrought iron signs you might get a feeling, how busy this city always was. Today we would like to show you Salzburg and its past, we will show you the Austrian Lake district and our local experts will talk about what it makes to be Austrian and to live in this country today. And who knows perhaps this excursion will give you also wings. |
0 EUR | Name: JEWISH BUDAPEST Location: BUDAPEST Details: The success of modern Budapest was significantly due to the diligence and organisational skills of Jewish industrialists. There are still many memories of the period. The Jewish Museum reminds of the religious traditions, while the Holocaust Centre, which was opened in 2004, reminds of the terror. After 1990, a real Jewish cultural Renaissance began in Budapest. The city has the most populous active Jewish community in Central Europe, who cherish their religious, artistic and historical heritage. Listen to our local expert explaining, why there is a much larger population of Budapest inhabitants with Jewish origin, who consider themselves Hungarian and do not practice their religion, but are interested in the history of their ancestors. Visit the largest synagogue in Europe, the Jewish Museum and hear about the tree of life. |
