Though Italy has been primarily associated with fashion, the country also offers an old-world charm that would make any traveller to Europe swear to come back. Their return is assured, according to tradition, if they toss a coin into Rome’s Tre vi Fountain, which was designed by Nicola Salvi. Travelling to Europe, particularly to Rome will of course not be complete without a visit to the Pantheon, considered as one of the few surviving ancient temples in the world. Equally impressive is the Colosseum, the gigantic amphitheater that witness the combats of gladiators. Though already partly destroyed, the Colosseum continues to fascinate travellers in the country. Known as the shopping and fashion haven in Italy, Milan is also a major center of arts and architecture. Any traveller to Europe will certainly enjoy traversing Piazza del Duomo, at one of which stands the Duomo, a huge Gothic Cathedral made of white marble.

Travelling to Europe is like Travelling through time. Each country will take you from the triumphs of the past centuries to the discoveries of the present. Elaborate palaces, gothic churches and other great structures reflect the beauty that is Europe. Your travels to Europe can start off with a visit to the Tower of London. Formerly used as a prison house, the Tower now holds the crown jewels of England, making it one of the country’s most popular tourist spots. Another feature that any traveller to Europe should not miss is the Yeoman of the Guard, known as Be efeaters, who still wear the uniforms that date back from the rule of the Tudors. Another place that travellers to Europe should look into while in England are the Houses of Parliament. Collectively called New Palace of Westminster, this seat of the British legislature is composed of several buildings, including three towers: Victoria Tower, Middle Tower and the very popular Saint Stephen’s or Clock Tower, which houses the Big Ben.
