European Vacations to Nice, France

The museums of Nice are great places to visit during the summer if you're on European vacations. The Muse dArt Moderne et dArt Contemporain features contemporary art with its huge permanent collection of Pop Art, New Realism, and pieces from the Nice School. Galerie Jean Renoir highlights new, young local talent, and is free. Set on a quaint 17th century villa, the Muse Matisse features a mind-boggling number of personal effects, engravings, drawings and paintings to the delight of fans of this beloved artist. Challenge your senses at the Muse National Message Biblique Marc Chagall, where the strong biblical-themed paintings are a stark contrast to its bare structure that belies the color within.

Russian Orthodox influence shines prominently on the architecture of Cathdrale Saint Nicolas, while Chapelle de la Misricorde is a striking example of French baroque religious architecture.

Learn About Ancient Greece on European Vacations

During your European vacations, look back at the past with a tour to ancient Greece. In the center of Athens, on your way to the Acropolis, watch out for the Hadrians Arch, a structure spanning an ancient road leading to the complex of structures on the citys east side. This complex included the Temple of Olympian Zeus, said to have been built to celebrate the arrival of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, to honor him for his many significant contributions to the city. From Athens, you can drive through the fertile plains of Boeotia and arrive at Delphi. It is the center of the ancient world, found on the slopes of the majestic Mount Parnassus. From this spot you will be able to see the ruins of the Temple of Apollo and the Sanctuary of Apollo Pythios. Visit the Treasury of the Athenians, and imagine the wealth of that time. Visit the museum where you can learn about ancient Greek masterpieces such as the world renowned bronze Charioteer.

Fun European Vacations to Dublin

End your European vacations with a visit to Dublin, where you can order drinks at any time of the day. Locals report that Kehoes is the best place to head to for the perfect pint of Guinness. The friendly bar staff keeps your mugs full even on busy nights and the crowd huddles around the stairs for conversation. An old microbrewery pub in Dublin is the Porterhouse which sells its own label; apparently, its lagers, ales and stouts are the best you can find at any store. The pub's excellent Irish stew is a great complement to your drink, filling you up at very affordable prices. Do not miss out on the charming Temple Bar neighborhood, which features architectural marvels, eco-friendly schemes, and cobblestone streets lined with art galleries, cafes, and bars. The best day to be in Dublin is March 17 -- St. Patrick's Day -- when there is no need for an excuse to drink. The parade exhibits some of the continents best street performers during a four-day gala. Wear any color but green and be prepared to be pinched by the locals!

Honeymoon European Vacations to Monaco

Continue your wedding to the fairy-tale setting of Monaco, a popular honeymoon destination and travel spot for European vacations. The Principality of Monaco is less than two square miles, but is definitely not short on elegant offerings -- the royal House of Grimaldi, the Paris Opera House, and the Monaco Grand Casino which is lavishly decorated with baroque-style rococo turrets, verdigris cupolas, and golden chandeliers. The city-state overlooks the Mediterranean Sea, and is an ideal harbor for the worlds longest, most expensive yachts. In the Old Town, the architecture dates back to the medieval times. Navigate through the vaulted passageways and narrow streets branching off the main avenues. Visit the Rock of Monaco, where his Serene Highness Prince Rainier III fell in love with Grace Kelly. Stop and smell the flowers -- all 7,000 of them -- at the Jardin Exotique, where the exquisite Princess Grace Rose Garden is well kept.
