Kyiv

Golden domes and shimmering spires peek out from the wooded hills rising above the wide Dnipro River. Leafy-green Kyiv, with its traffic-packed boulevards, shopping malls, countless churches, brilliant music and lively nightlife, has embraced capitalism, yet held firmly to its heritage. The Caves Monastery is the spiritual heart of Ukraine, and nearby, a gigantic Brezhnev-era Motherland statue bearing sword and shield casts her all-encompassing eye over the city, the river, and its island beaches.

Cape Verde

Cape Verde's unique geographic location, tumultuous history of slavery and invasion, and fascinating mix of transatlantic cultures have given rise to a place unlike any other on the globe. A place as joyful as it is full of longing, a fact perhaps best reflected in Cape Verdean music and the hauntingly beautiful 'morna'. The sometimes harsh, drought-prone conditions of this mid-Atlantic scattering of islands have seen the flourishing of a fascinating Creole culture and the most stable democracy in Africa.

Rijeka

Straddling the Adriatic Sea where it plunges deepest into Europe, Rijeka boasts a rich maritime history. Croatia's third largest city and the heart of Primorsko-Goranska County, its charm lies in its hospitable spirit and diverse cultural heritage. As you amble along the Habsburg-era Korzo promenade, peek into the 19th-century National Theatre, graced with Klimt's artwork. Soak up the sweeping views of Kvarner Bay's islands from Trsat Castle. A cosmopolitan harbour of coexistence, welcome to Rijeka.

Milan

Milan is famous as one of the world’s most influential fashion capitals, so make some room in your wardrobe and get ready for a makeover. Milan is a major cultural centre in Italy, with world-class museums and galleries, the Duomo Cathedral, ancient churches, and impressive architecture of opulent Italian villas. After viewing da Vinci’s Last Supper, try Lombardi specials like ossobuco and risotto alla Milanese in one of the neighbourhood restaurants. Milan is the perfect starting point for exploring the prettiest landscapes of northern Italy.

This harmonious city allows you to travel through time, from prehistory to the present day, before following in the tracks of the Princes of Savoy and eating next to the purest lake of Europe, while enjoying the numerous festivals and cultural animations. The city is also turned towards sports: the ski resorts are near the city and accessible by bus, and a biking trail goes all around the lake and lets you explore the shores.

Sundsvall

Sundsvall, a dynamic urban centre in northern Sweden, offers a unique blend of modern vibrancy and rich neo-Renaissance architectural charm. Encircled by lush forests and towering mountains, this city is a gateway to outdoor adventures.
