If these walls could talk, what a story they’d have to tell. From cathedrals to municipal buildings, European architecture instantly transports you back in time and gives you a glimpse of the Europe of yesteryear.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With decades of experience (our longest serving European Travel Director has been with us for 39 years) Trafalgar Travel Directors are architecture aficionados in their own rights. They’ve seen it all from the ‘must-see’s to the ‘never-heard-of’s and want to share their favourite edifices in some of the top destinations on the continent.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cSo many people flock to the Vatican when they visit Rome, but there are so many incredible churches you can visit for free. One of my favourites?\u00a0Santa Maria Maggiore. According to legend, snow fell on the site telling the then Pope in a dream where to build a church. Whether or not that’s true, its interior is an amazing example of church\u00a0architecture.\u201d \u2013 Dean, Travel Director<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cVienna for many is an unexpected assault on the senses: beautiful classic architecture, stunning historic interiors and a cuisine born from the influences of the former nations of the empire. This is the entrance hall of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, even without the world class pieces of art, the price of admission would be worth it simply for the amazing interior decoration.\u201d \u2013 Dean, Travel Director

\u201cHagia Sophia, Istanbul’s most emblematic monument, under a dramatic sky. Built as a Byzantine Christian Church in 6C AD, then the Greek Orthodox patriarchal Cathedral; later an eastern Roman Cathedral till 1453; then a mosque for four centuries; and, since 1935, a museum. The building won’t leave you indifferent, inside, outside, it is majestic as a whole, the dimensions and height of its central dome still impress.\u201d \u2013 Isabelle, Travel Director<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
