In terms of the number of tourists who visit the city on weekends, Lyon can easily overtake even Paris - but with one small advantage: you don’t have to drag your feet in search of attractions from one capital district to another. From May 2015, Eurostar will launch a direct train service between London and Lyon, so if you want to get to France bypassing Paris, we recommend taking advantage of this offer.

Not far from the Old Town is the Savamala district, which has become a haven for those who profess creativity as a religion - artists, sculptors, musicians... in short, everyone who devotes themselves to art. The two largest art complexes “KC Grad” and “Mikser House” are adjacent to a huge number of bars, restaurants and cafes, so you definitely won’t get bored. Be sure to visit the famous 20/44 nightclub, located on the ship, and the trendy Drugstore, where techno fans can have a blast.
When to go?
Summer in Belgrade is often quite hot, so floating clubs are more popular here than in any other city. If the purpose of your visit is mainly educational walks, we recommend visiting the city in autumn or spring.
Now the crowds of tourists, interfering with sightseeing and shouting down your own thoughts, will not prevent you from relaxing and enjoying European culture in all its diversity.
A lot of time has passed since the traditional educational trips to Europe for young people from wealthy families became a thing of the past. It used to be that fencing was studied in Paris, art in Florence, and the picturesque Swiss Alps were chosen as a place to take a break from science. Today the situation has changed.
Initially, the Grand Tour or “Grand Tour” (from the French Grand Tour) was the prerogative of aristocrats, whose sons, starting from the 17th century, went on a long trip to neighboring countries after graduating from university, choosing the most culturally significant places. Life experience, improvement of foreign languages, acquaintance with the customs of other countries - this is a small list of what these young gentlemen received after the end of the tour (most of the travelers were from England). Although the concept of “Grand Tour” has disappeared from life, the craving for new places remains. Below are European cities, a kind of “must-see” list, or “Grand Tour” for fans of exciting trips. The duration of the trip is about three weeks.
London
Two days is not so much time for a city with so many entertainment options. However, it is worth leaving time to explore the local, iconic sights of London: the Tower, Tate Gallery, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace. You should also definitely attend a theater performance by one of the West End troupes and get acquainted with the ethnic cuisine of the East End.
Paris
The London High Speed Train takes you through the Channel Tunnel straight to Paris. A few hours on the road and you will be able to see the geometrically correct streets from the height of the Arc de Triomphe, the world-famous Louvre, the royal residence of Versailles and the beautiful Parisian churches. You should definitely have lunch at one of the places in Montmartre.
A train ride at night, and here before your eyes is a colorful and bright city, amazing its guests with its vibrant modernist architecture and the Sagrada Familia, the Church of the Sagrada Familia, built according to the design of Antoni Gaudi. Catalan cuisine will satisfy the tastes of any gourmet. The last look at Barcelona - the first plane flight is ahead.
The eternal City. As the locals say, a lifetime is not enough to get to know him. While sightseeing, it's worth spending two days exploring the monumental works of architecture: the Colosseum, the Vatican, the Pantheon, the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain. Evenings are best spent somewhere in the Trastevere area.
Vein
Another night train ride, and Imperial Vienna is at your feet. Like many city dwellers, it’s worth staying over a cup of coffee in one of the establishments in Vienna. Then pay attention to the famous Lipizzaner horses, a special breed bred in Austria on the basis of Spanish and Neapolitan individuals. After that, all that remains is to get lost in the pedestrian shopping streets and attend an opera performance.

After exploring the rest of the sights of the old city, a vacation on the coast on one of the beaches is a must.
Athens
The Greek capital is a real treasure for history buffs. Ancient ruins, beautiful buildings with the Acropolis towering above it all will leave an unforgettable mark on your heart. Just below, the bustling markets filled with tavern-goers provide a taste of modern Athenian life.
Istanbul

While traveling through the old part of the city, be sure to see the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia. You can dine and buy souvenirs in Beyoglu, the European district of Istanbul, which is also the center of nightlife. Sailing on the Bosphorus, the strait separating Asia and Europe, will give you a unique opportunity to take a last look at the Western world before you set foot in the East.
