Italy, France, Spain, extension to Portugal

Three magnificent capital cities; three distinctly different flavors of Europe.

In bold and colorful Madrid, indulge your appetite for art, music, and, of course, tapas. In elegant and enlightening Paris, majestic architecture and charming boulevards compete for your attention (along with the crepes). While in the well-chiseled landscape of Rome, ancient history springs to life at the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, complemented nicely by world-famous gelato.
