Spain holiday packages generally include a visit to Alhambra. This structure acts as both a palace and a fortress, and has beautiful sprawling gardens that you can explore in a leisurely manner. The structure was built on a plateau and today overlooks the city of Granada. Another must see is the Sagrada Familia – an unfinished structure started by Antoni Gaudi. He worked on it for forty years till his death. It is not expected to be finished for another decade, though that doesn’t stop people from flocking to see it. Be sure that you don’t miss out on the ‘Aqueduct of Segovia’ – one of the few functional aqueducts that are relics of the Roman Empire. Using only large granite blocks and without the use of mortar this aqueduct is presumed to have been built sometime around 50 AD; it still provides water to Segovia.

While you’re taking in the culture, don’t forget to relax at La Concha – possibly one of the best beaches to be found in Europe, let alone Spain. Surfing is a popular activity here, or you can simply take a long walk along its promenade as you enjoy the scenery. Another sight to take in is the ...
... Real Palacio, or the Royal Palace of Spain. It is the official residence of the king of Spain, but it is now mostly used for special state ceremonies. While Spain certainly has its charms, Paris is not without its own beauties. The first place that you can find on the list of travel packages for Paris is the Eiffel Tower. Restaurants found on the Eiffel Tower offer you the chance for a romantic meal with a breathtaking view of Paris. You can gaze upon the Palace of Versailles – which is counted as one among the largest and grandest palaces of the world.

You can also visit the Louvre museum for a treat to the eyes. Many classic and contemporary art pieces can be found in this museum, which means that no art lover would give this museum a miss. And once you’re done with that, take a relaxing boat ride down the river Sienne in the evening. The boat ride allows you to get acquainted with most of the landmarks in Paris – such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral and the French National Assembly building. It also takes you through the Pont Neuf, which is the oldest bridge in Paris. Remember to look at travel packages for Paris between May and September – that’s the best time for an open deck boat ride in the river Sienne.
