DESTINATIONS:

BARCELONA

Offering a heady mix of Catalan culture, history and architecture, Spain's second largest city Barcelona is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. Marvel at the splendour of the soaring Sagrada Familia and discover the hidden alleys of Las Ramblas, or simply enjoy some of the finest restaurants and nightlife Europe has to offer.
Barcelona tourism has taken off since the city hosted the 1992 Olympics and this burgeoning metropolis welcomes millions of visitors to its fabulous beach-hugging cityscape each year. So dust off your phrasebook and book your flights to Barcelona to discover what all the fuss is about.

PARIS

Whether you call it the 'City of Lights,' the 'Fashion Capital of the World' or simply the most romantic town on the planet, there's a reason Paris is the world's most popular tourist destination. Its attractions are world famous, from the Louvre to Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe.
Setting for countless movies and home to a colourful cast of artists, entrepreneurs and long-term visitors seduced by its alluring atmosphere, Paris tourism offers the chance to get swept away in the charm of this intoxicating city. Flights to Paris open the door to a breathtaking new world; whether you ever decide to return home is up to you.

MADRID

Madrid is a city of contrasts with grand, serene cathedrals and a vibrant, music-filled nightlife. The crowded streets of Spain's capital pulse with energy – you will always hear music and passionate conversation breezing through the main thoroughfares.
Amidst the hustle and bustle there are small pockets of tranquility, revealing Madrid's historical side. The beautifully worn arches and balconies of the Plaza Mayor allow you to catch a glimpse of the city's past, once playing host to bullfights, symphonies and public executions. With a culture embedded with royalty from the Spanish Empire, ornate buildings stand strong, hugged by new, modern architecture.
