1 October 15 2023 BASEL, SWITZERLAND Embark PM 5:00 PM
VIBRANT & PICTURESQUE
Even with its international flair and reputation as an
iconic center for progressive art and design, Basel’s medieval town
center invites exploration by foot with an abundance of museums and
galleries. While antiquity may be Basel’s strong suit, two of its native
sons – architects Herzog & de Meuron renowned design London’s Tate
Modern Beijing’s Bird’s Nest – bring a modern flair to the city’s design
along with other notable architects including Frank Gehry 2 October 16 2023 STRASBOURG, FRANCE 9:00 AM 10:00 PM
THE CAPITAL OF EUROPE
The seat of the European Parliament, Strasbourg is one
of the world’s most photogenic towns. It boasts a breathtaking Gothic
cathedral and a remarkable charm that oozes from virtually every cozy
corner of Grande Île, or “Large Island,” the first city center to be
named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 3 October 17 2023 MANNHEIM, GERMANY 9:00 AM -
WHERE INNOVATION FLOWS
The name Benz is synonymous with automotive
innovation, and here is where this legacy began. Also born here was the
“man-powered running machine” (or bicycle), the Lanz Bulldog tractor and
first rocket-powered aircraft, firmly establishing the city as the place
for innovation and industry. The university town is also alive with hubs
of diverse food, drink and shopping, as well as a thriving art and
musical culture. 4 October 18 2023 MANNHEIM, GERMANY - 1:00 AM

SCENIC CITY OF PARKS & HISTORY
Located where the Rhine and Moselle rivers and three
mountain ranges meet, Koblenz’ scenery is unmatched. Add to that the
city’s 2,000-year-old history, hilltop fortress and squares lined by
classic Germanic architecture and you have a place ready made for
photos. Ambling along the town’s narrow lanes and river promenade, you
might encounter medieval churches, flower-filled parks, sidewalk cafes
and perhaps a weinstube, or wine tavern, ideal for sipping Riesling and
drinking in the atmosphere. 5 October 19 2023 COCHEM, GERMANY 7:00 AM 10:00 PM
A STORYBOOK VILLAGE
With its half-timbered buildings, steep terraced
slopes, lush vineyards and a picturesque castle overlooking the Moselle
River, this charming town’s riverside promenade allows a chance to savor
the atmosphere of a fairytale come to life. Take in the beauty of the
surrounding hills, sometimes laced with mist, and see bridges spanning
the lazy waters of the river. Perhaps you will feel somewhat lazy
yourself, reluctant to move too quickly through a town seemingly stopped
in time. 6 October 20 2023 TRIER, GERMANY 1:00 PM 11:30 PM
SECOND ROME
Germany’s oldest town was founded by Romans and still
bears remarkably preserved evidence of the culture – Roman baths,
amphitheater and the imposing Porta Nigra gateway. It has since become
synonymous with the rolling wine vineyards of the Rhineland that follow
the Moselle, with the commanding 12th-century Eltz Castle standing
guard. 7 October 21 2023 BERNKASTEL, GERMANY 7:30 AM -
HEART OF THE MOSEL VALLEY
A well-preserved medieval town, Bernkastel’s colorful
Market Square is among the most authentic and lovely of those that line
the riverside, with a Renaissance-era Town Hall and the bustling
activity of shops and cafés. Don’t miss the Spitzhaüschen (pointed
house) that famously towers above the other rooftops. With its ground
floors built narrower than the upper floors, the building appears to
wobble off balance, but has stood strong since 1416. 8 October 22 2023 BERNKASTEL, GERMANY - 1:00 PM

GOTHIC FILIGREE & BEAUTY
Germany’s most visited landmark – the UNESCO-listed
Cologne Cathedral – dominates the skyline here, its magnificent Gothic
twin-spires reaching toward the heavens. Peel your eyes away from the
Kölner Dom, its local name, to see the space needle-like Rhine Tower,
ancient Roman ruins, a modern museum, cozy beerhalls and the arches of
the Hohenzollern Bridge, reconstructed after the war. 10 October 24 2023 AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS 8:00 AM -
CULTURE & CANALS
Everyone has an image of Amsterdam. For some, it’s
small boats gliding on the canals and locals two-wheeling on bikes to
work and, as frequently, to meet friends for drinks. For others, it’s
gabled buildings leaning, seemingly precariously, over cobbled streets
and cozy taverns illuminated by candles. Still others imagine tulips in
bloom and the paintings Vermeer, Van Gogh and Rembrandt. Each vision is
even more beguiling when experienced in person. 11 October 25 2023 AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS - 9:00 PM

EDGY & SOPHISTICATED
Much of Rotterdam’s edgy, sophisticated personality is
a result of the destruction of much of the city by the WWII blitz, which
left it to be rebuilt with a contemporary approach to design. Modern,
eye-catching buildings of concrete, glass and steel stand in stark
contrast to the few remaining “old city” areas of Delfshaven, or Delft
Harbor, and Oude Haven, or Old Harbor, and outstanding museums, hotels
and restaurants consistently earn Rotterdam top rankings for best places
to visit. 13 October 27 2023 ANTWERP, BELGIUM 8:00 AM 10:00 PM
ANTWERP, BELGIUM
What Milan is to Italy, Antwerp is to Belgium, a
historic city that is on-trend with a finger on the pulse of fashion,
art and entertainment. A dynamic energy fills Antwerp’s old squares,
gorgeous with cobbled centers and edged, like a cake with decorative
icing, by ornate buildings. High-reaching church towers and fountains
with cherubic sculptures add to the feeling of antiquity, while the port
- the largest in Belgium and one of the largest in the world - brings a
sense of purpose and prosperity. Surely, you associate Antwerp with
diamonds. More than 70 percent of all diamonds are traded through this
sparkling city, one that also shines under the light of celebrated
painter Peter Paul Rubens, who lived and worked in an Italianate city
manse, now a museum. 14 October 28 2023 GHENT, BELGIUM 7:00 AM 6:00 PM
WARM SPIRIT OF IDEAS & IDEALS
Buildings with stair-stepped gables, the meeting of
the rivers Scheldt and Leie, intact and well-preserved medieval
architecture, a brooding castle, the famed Ghent Altarpiece. Ghent is a
welcoming center of industry with a lively cultural scene. Walk along
pretty canals, wander into stunning churches, and appreciate the flowers
adorning squares and alleyways as you explore what was once one of
Europe’s richest cities and continues to enrich travelers. 15 October 29 2023 AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS 12:00 PM -
