Western Europe is a close-to-home holiday destination, featuring ancient traditions, rich architecture and fascinating history.

In Western Europe, you can have the pleasure of a holiday entrenched in history. From the walled fortress-citadel Carcassonne of France to Northern Ireland’s Titanic Belfast exhibition, you can dive deeper than ever before. What’s more, there’s scenery for miles, just think of the vibrantly green Scottish highlands, the Netherlands’ colourful bulbfields, or Ireland’s dramatic Cliffs of Moher. For relaxation and luxury, Monaco has that in spades, with the casinos and boutiques of Monte Carlo.
