Europe in Winter or Early Spring is our Best Kept Secret!

Christmas shopping in London...
April in Paris...
Tulip time in Amsterdam...

European cities have their own special uncrowded ambience in winter and spring! When you think about it, so little of reason to visit Europe has anything to do with the weather... Museums, Galleries, Theatre, Historic Castles, Fine Dining, Shopping.
And, when you are outside, the cool air can be truly invigorating. The smell of Chesnuts being roasted by the street vendors in London evoke a Dickens-inspired feeling that you'll never get in summer. Shopping and sightseeing without the humid, sweltering heat of summer is something dear to most of our hearts.
"While in Rome"... don't stand in long lines! Do you want to visit The Vatican? The summer lines are hours long - if you can get in at all! In winter, you'll be in within about a half hour! The same story for visiting the Louvre in Paris or the Ann Frank House in Amsterdam! Here are some compelling reasons to go...

• Value! The summer airfares of $1,000 to $1,300 can be as low as $700 in the winter. Hotel rates are 30% to 50% lower in 'low season'. Our 'packaged vacations' oftentimes present price reductions that even surpass those shown above.
• Comfort. The hotels are not filled to capacity so you receive much more personal service. And because they are not full the ambiance is quieter and more relaxed. You can usually get a reservation at the finest restaurants just hours before you wish to dine. The Galleries and Museums are well-attended but certainly not crowded.

Special Events not possible in "High Season". Example: One of our featured River Cruises takes travelers on a 9-day Holiday Cruise from Vienna to Prague in December and includes a private performance by the Vienna Boys Choir.
