7 Nights Rome to Monte Carlo

Such astonishing outpourings of artistic inspiration could only have happened here, at the crossroads, where Eurasian traders and invaders have met and melded for thousands of years. Guided by the North Star, they sailed the Black Sea to the Mediterranean, and even as far north as the Baltic. But Europe is not only the heartland of civilization. It is also a playground for the senses, for temporal pleasures have always followed conquest and subjugation. The finest vineyards in the world ripen on sun-browned soil where Roman legions once camped. Maze-like bazaars brimming with gold and hand-woven silk rugs stand alongside the glorious monuments of the Ottomans. And from the Cote d'Azur to the vacation meccas of the Crimea, lavish European resorts have entertained the elite since time immemorial. From the sensual to the sublime, you can explore life in all its forms along these legendary shores. Europe's allure is irresistible. And no matter how many times you've Òhopped across the pond,Ó it never seems enough.
