Ten Landmarks That Tell London’s Story

London should be on everyone’s bucket list for its unique blend of history, culture, and modern vibrancy, offering everything from ancient landmarks and royal palaces to world-class museums, theatres and diverse cuisine in one of the world’s most iconic cities.

London is a city with a past stretching back over 2,000 years. Founded by the Romans in AD 43 as Londinium, it became a key center for trade and government. Over the centuries, London has witnessed invasions, plagues, fires, and wars, yet it has always emerged stronger

Around the World

A Natural Rock Arena

"Creux du Van", a natural rock arena of immense proportions, is located at the border of the cantons of Neuenburg and Vaud. Impressive 160 meter high vertical rock faces surround a four kilometer long and over one kilometer wide valley basin

Lauterbrunnen Valley

Lauterbrunnen is a spectacular Alpine valley in Switzerland, famed for its dramatic U‑shaped landscape framed by towering rock faces and dotted with dozens of cascading waterfalls that have inspired travellers and poets for centuries

Hike to Famous Cliff Restaurant

A Spectacular Footbridge

The Trift Bridge is one of the most spectacular pedestrian suspension bridges in the Alps. At 100m high and 170m long, it is poised above the region of the Trift Glacier, with spectacular views guaranteed for those with a head for heights

Sphinx Observation Deck

Travellers of antiquity who could not solve the riddle of the Sphinx were strangled by the monster. Visitors of the eponymous rock formation on the Jungfraujoch need not worry about this

Ireland’s Sacred Cathedral Route

There’s something timeless about stepping into an Irish cathedral. These sacred spaces are far more than places of worship—they are keepers of Ireland’s most powerful stories. From ancient monastic settlements and Viking strongholds to Gothic masterpieces and post-Emancipation triumphs, each cathedral marks a chapter in the island’s spiritual and cultural history. Walking through their echoing naves and weathered cloisters, you’ll encounter saints and scholars, bishops and builders, all woven into the very stones beneath your feet
