Day 1

A tour of the historical part of the city (in the price of the tour) will be an opportunity not only to see numerous monuments of history, architecture, culture, but also to immerse yourself in the history of the city, Saxony, Germany; to get acquainted with its characters and, first of all, with the most popular Saxon of all time, the hero of numerous legends and adventures, the favorite of women, the brilliant Augustus the Strong.

In your free time, we offer a choice of excursions:

One of the most beautiful excursions is the Incredible Saxon Switzerland (adults - 1,442 hryvnias; children under 13.99 years - 1,030 hryvnias), which allows you to get to know the mysterious border region of Bohemia and Saxony, which, due to its unique nature, bizarre rocks, waterfalls, rivers, stunning fortresses, observation decks and cozy villages, was not accidentally named Saxon Switzerland.

Green Vaults Museum - Royal Treasury in Dresden (742 hryvnias + entrance ticket). Enjoy royal treasures and jewels in the vault of Augustus the Strong. The historic Green Vaults are known as one of the richest treasuries in the world. The museum is located in the premises of the Palace-Residence, which were built specifically for the storage of royal treasures.

A walk along the Seine (adults - 18€, children under 13.99 years - 10€). River excursions on the Seine on pleasure boats are one of the most favorite pastimes of tourists in Paris.

Its chic cafes, street artists and stunning views of Paris make Montmartre a popular destination for tourists, many of whom climb the stairs to the main square in front of the Basilica. Another, the oldest church on the hill is the church of Saint-Pierre de Montmartre, where the Jesuit Order was founded. Many famous artists painted here, including Salvador Dali, Amadeo Modigliani, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Vincent Van Gogh.

First, we will visit Rouen - the capital of Upper Normandy, a city on the banks of the Seine, which is part of the Paris agglomeration. Rouen is rightly considered the pearl of Northern France with incredible architecture and a rich past: the Old Market square witnessed the execution of Joan of Arc, and the beautifully preserved medieval houses are considered a European example of the half-timbered style. Rouen served as a source of inspiration for many artists: Gustave Flaubert wrote "Madame Bovary" here, and Claude Monet created a famous series of impressionist landscapes. Next, we move to the amazing beaches of the twin resorts of Deauville and Trouville. The resorts became well known thanks to the water hospital opened in Deauville in the 1860s, which began to attract the Parisian elite here. Later, many elegant mansions and villas, casinos, hotels in the Norman style, as well as bars and restaurants appeared here. Wealthy Parisians still love to come here on weekends to relax, play golf, tennis, ride horses and enjoy the endless beaches of Normandy. Finally, we will visit one of the most beautiful cities in Normandy, Etretat. It is widely known for its picturesque landscapes. Because it is here that there are unusual rocks washed by the ocean.

Millions of tourists come here to admire the palace, the word park, the fruits of dreams and the imagination of Louis XIV - the most "long-reigning" French king, also known as Louis the Great or the Sun King. It was he who had the idea to move the royal residence from the Louvre to a country palace;

The Montparnasse Tower (adults - 742 hryvnias, children under 13.99 years - 412 hryvnias) stretches far not only into the sky, but also deep underground - several subway lines cross directly under it. The entire structure rests on large concrete piles. Most of the above-ground premises are occupied by offices. There are various cafes and souvenir shops on the upper floors.
