Rome

Founded in 753 B.C., Rome grew into one of the most powerful cities in European history. Visitors can still see the remains of ancient Rome at sites such as the Colosseum, where up to 50,000 spectators used to watch gladiatorial games, and the Roman Forum.

• The Vatican is the world’s smallest sovereign state. Among the innumerable works of art onsite, the hands-down showstopper is the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, nearly every inch of which is decorated with Michelangelo’s astounding frescoes.
• Have lunch in the Trastevere neighborhood: Located across the Tiber River, this area’s cobblestone streets are lined with medieval houses and restaurants serving paper-thin pizzas.

Florence

Michelangelo’s marble sculpture of David is just one of many Renaissance masterpieces you can see in Florence’s world-famous museums.

• Uffizi Gallery: Built in the 16th century, this museum showcases iconic works by Botticelli, da Vinci, and Giotto.
• Brunellecshi’s Dome: spectacular topper on the city’s central cathedral. Inside you’ll find frescoes depicting heaven and hell.
• San Lorenzo Market: Browse for Tuscan cheeses, leather accessories, and other souvenirs.

Venice

Venice is pleasantly devoid of screeching tires and honking car horns—instead of roads, there’s a network of placid canals where you can travel by gondola.

• Peggy Guggenheim Collection: set alongside the Grand Canal and packed with Cubist, Surrealist, and Abstract Expressionist works Picasso, Jackson Pollock, and other modern masters
• St. Mark’s Square: site of Saint Mark’s Basilica, the Doge’s Palace, and a clock tower built between 1496 and 1506
• Classic Venetian fare: Sample oca in onto (goose in its own fat) or freshwater lagoon fish at a restaurant on the Grand Canal. Wash it down with a cocktail at Skyline Rooftop Bar.

Munich

Even though Munich rivals Berlin as a modern metropolis, it feels a lot like an old-world village in many places. Traditional Bavarian buildings resemble gingerbread houses, and it’s not uncommon to see locals walking around in festive lederhosen and dirndls.

• Grab a stein of beer at Hofbräuhaus, one of Munich’s oldest breweries.
• Travel back to medieval times via a tour of Alter Hof, a 12th-century castle that served as the residence of the Bavarian ruling family.
• See how a BMW is made with a guided tour of BMW Welt, a futuristic facility showcasing the company’s upcoming line.

Paris

The Villa Royale Montsouris, where you’ll be staying, is located in the 14th arrondissement, a largely residential neighborhood that includes part of the Montparnasse district. Home to a fashionable arts and literature scene in the Roaring Twenties, it contains landmark sites such as the Catacombs.

• Free activities: Tour Parc André Citroën, a garden with glass houses, computerized fountains, and themed gardens wired with sound. Then check out experimental work from resident artists at 104 near Montmartre.
• Shopping: Try lesser known retail gems such as Mi-Prix, which sells discounted designer shoes, and French Touche, a concept store stocked with vintage clothing and one-of-a-kind trinkets.
• Seine River cruise features views of the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and the Louvre.

London

Famous landmarks in England’s 2,000-year-old capital city along the Thames include Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace. After a day of sightseeing, check out the theaters of the West End and the dazzling billboards in Piccadilly Circus.

• Take the Museum Road Challenge: Visit South Kensington’s three iconic museums—the Science Museum, the Natural History Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum—all in one day.
• Within walking distance of the hotel: Kensington Palace, the official residence of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Parts of the building are open to the public.
• Must-do experience: Ride the London Eye, a massive observation wheel that offers overhead views of the city from inside a glass pod.
