London, Paris and Madrid
As you witness the shared bonds and unique identities of these iconic destinations, you’ll also experience how the language, landmarks, and culture change from city to city.
Monuments to their key roles in history are present everywhere, from Buckingham Palace to the Louvre. Madrid has gained in stature more recently—it was named the capital of Spain in the 16th century. Today Madrid is a world center of art, and it’s also one of the world’s greenest cities.
