A journey into the heart of Southeast Asia that reveals the scale and beauty of one of humanity’s greatest architectural achievements.

Machu Picchu

Perched at nearly 2,400 metres in the Peruvian Andes, Machu Picchu is a sanctuary where architecture merges perfectly with nature. Built in the 15th century under the Inca emperor Pachacútec, its precisely cut stones, mortarless construction and alignment with astronomical events make it a marvel of ancient engineering and a testament to the Incas’ profound cosmic connection.

Venice

Built in the middle of a lagoon, Venice is a city that has inspired artists across the world. Known for its mystical masked carnival, romantic elegance and incredible beauty, this journey takes you to the most iconic landmarks and hidden gems, the Rialto Bridge, St. Mark’s Basilica, the Teatro La Fenice, and a boat ride along the Grand Canal. An entire city that is itself a World Heritage treasure.

Porto

Portugal’s second-largest city sits on the banks of the Douro and is famous for its UNESCO-listed historic centre. With traces of human occupation dating back to the 4th century BC, Porto has a long and fascinating history. Today it’s an important cultural and economic hub, renowned for its dynamic art and music scene and, of course, its world-famous port wine produced in the nearby Douro Valley.

Florence

Considered the birthplace of the Renaissance, Florence is one of the most beautiful and historically significant cities in the world. Marvel at the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore on the Piazza del Duomo, experience Florence after dark, discover where Dante Alighieri was born, and cross the famous Ponte Vecchio. A city of palaces, churches and timeless artistry.

Dubrovnik

The Pearl of the Adriatic, Dubrovnik’s magnificent walled old town is a UNESCO treasure that has captivated visitors for centuries. Travel through its history, feel the city’s vibrant pulse and enjoy spectacular views of the Croatian coastline. For Game of Thrones fans, follow in the footsteps of kings and queens through the streets that became King’s Landing.

Kinderdijk

Home to a world-famous network of windmills, Kinderdijk has protected the low-lying Netherlands from flooding for centuries. Together with the heritage villages of Zaanse Schans and Giethoorn, these places tell the remarkable story of how the Dutch learned to live with water and turned that challenge into ingenuity recognised around the world.

Córdoba

Founded by the Romans in the 2nd century BC, Córdoba became one of the most important cities in the world during its Moorish golden age when it served as capital of the medieval emirate. Today, this Andalusian city’s rich history and cultural heritage still reflect centuries of Roman, Moorish and Spanish influence, a fascinating tapestry of civilisations preserved in stone.

A UNESCO-listed cultural landscape shaped by water, royalty and centuries of art and ambition. Follow the Loire as it winds past historic towns like Saumur, Chinon, Amboise and Blois. Admire medieval fortresses, elegant Renaissance châteaux, vineyards and world-famous gardens, from the refined patterns of Villandry to the extraordinary scale of the Château de Chambord. A journey through French history at its most magnificent.

Edinburgh

Scotland’s proud capital has a history stretching back to at least the 7th century, with its first settlement around Castle Rock. Every step is a journey through time, walk along Victoria Street, said to have inspired Diagon Alley in Harry Potter, and stand beneath the majestic Scott Monument. Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns together form one of the most remarkable urban World Heritage Sites anywhere.
