Europe is Beautiful in the Winter

Europe - Lonely Planet (PDF) >

1. Sardinia - "Cagliari & the Sarrabus" (PDF) Lonely Planet

Built around a rocky citadel, Cagliari basks in southern sunshine and looks proudly back on almost 3000 years of history, while the mountainous hinterland of the Sarrabus is an untamed, silent wilderness.

2. Norway - "Oslo" (PDF) Lonely Planet

To the rest of the world, Norway is where Mother Nature has created one of her finest works of art. Against such a wonderful natural canvas, it’s easy to forget that man can also be artistic, and many a visitor has been left surprised to discover that Oslo is home to world-class museums and galleries rivalling anywhere else on the European art trail.

3. Paris - "Eiffel Tower & Western Paris" (PDF) Lonely Planet

Home to very well-heeled Parisians, this is where you can get up close and personal with the city’s symbolic tower as well as striking new architecture in the high-rise business district of La Défense just outside central Paris.

4. Finland - "Helsinki" (PDF) Lonely Planet

Though Helsinki can seem a younger sibling to other Scandinavian capitals, it’s the one that went to art school, scorns pop music and works in a cutting-edge studio. Nevertheless, much of what is lovable in Helsinki is older: its understated yet glorious old buildings are all part of the city’s quirky charm.
