Paris
France
A must-visit capital: museums, Michelin-starred dining and characterful hotels in Le Marais, Saint-Germain or Montmartre. Favour weekends from November to March for negotiated rates and unique light on the monuments.
European capitals
A weekend at the heart of Europe's most beautiful capitals: design hotels, well-placed, steps from the must-sees.
Design hotels in the heart of Europe's finest capitals: Paris, Rome, Lisbon, Barcelona, Vienna. Same hotels, better price.
Resapass negotiates rates directly with hotels — same rooms, 15% to 30% cheaper than public prices, with free cancellation on most bookings.
Rome
Italy
Three thousand years of history in the open air: the Colosseum, the Vatican, Trastevere. Stay near Piazza Navona to do everything on foot, and book your skip-the-line tickets 15 days ahead.
Barcelona
Spain
Gaudí, urban beaches and tapas until late: Barcelona is lived outdoors. The Eixample district gathers the modernist hotels; the Gòtic quarter holds the medieval soul.
Lisbon
Portugal
Hills, azulejos and fado: Lisbon charms with its atmosphere and easy pace. Allow at least 2 nights to enjoy Alfama, Belém and a day trip to Sintra.
Vienna
Austria
Imperial palaces, Viennese cafés and opera: Vienna is the capital of refinement. Aim for December for the Christmas markets, or May for the Prater terraces.
Amsterdam
Netherlands
UNESCO-listed canals, bikes everywhere and world-class museums (Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh, Anne Frank). Stay in Jordaan or De Pijp for a more authentic feel away from the tourist trail.
