�London
There are numerous museums and attractions to see whilst in London. We recommend a walk on the London Millennium Footbridge. Initially nicknamed the“ Wobbly Bridge” by Londoners, Millennium Bridge was initially opened in June 2000. It was closed later on opening day, as pedestrians noted an unexpected swaying motion. After limited access for two days, it was closed for two years to eliminate the motion. Millennium Bridge was reopened in 2002. It stretches across the Thames in the heart of the city and is considered as one of London’ s top attractions.

The Victoria Falls is easily one of the most popular attractions in Zambia. There are, however, other rich pleasures that can be experienced while visiting. Why not go for a luxurious ride on The Royal Livingstone Express? Enjoy fine dining on this unique all-inclusive luxury rail rooted in the nostalgia of a bygone era, elegance and romance.

�Romania
Prince Mikhail Cantacuzino founded the Sinaia Monastery in the late 17 th Century after his pilgrimage to Mount Sinai. Designed to serve as a monastery, it was also a fortified stronghold, and home to several monks. If you are a history buff and enjoy exploring ancient architecture, this monastery is perfect. Take the rails and hop off at Sinaia Railway Station located just below the monastery.
