Jump into the colour and chaos of the city’s famous souqs, see the Koutoubia Mosque or kick back in Djemma el-Fna and watch jugglers, palm readers and teeth pullers all vie for attention.

Spend time admiring Morocco's Moorish architecture in Casablanca and perhaps visit the Hassan II Mosque or Jewish Museum.

Travel north by train to Tangier. Experience old-world sights and sounds in the medina or rub shoulders with locals on the seaside promenade.

Cross the Strait of Gibraltar and travel to Seville, a flamboyant city renowned for fiestas, tapas and an enormous Gothic cathedral. Maybe take the steps to the top of the cathedral's tower before an evening flamenco performance.

Discover Islamic architecture around every corner in Granada. Explore the old Arab quarter of Albayzin, climb the city's steep streets to Mirador San Nicolas or visit the ancient palace and fortress of Alhambra.

Board a train to the jewel of the French Riviera and relax amid the superb coastal surrounds.

Weaving past olive groves and vineyards, the walking trail that links these five hillside villages offers breathtaking views over a stunning stretch of coast. Walk the entire path or catch a train between the towns.

Head to the Campo dei Miracoli to see the Torre de Pisa, Baptistry and Cathedral before travelling on to the artisans’ haven of Florence. Then, enjoy a day trip to the enchanting city of Siena.

Arrive in Rome, home to religious treasures like the Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s Basilica. Before heading home, perhaps head to the Spanish Steps, find a cafe and reflect on an amazing tour.
