The climate is amazing and cherry on the top being the delicious and authentic national cuisine. The country has great history lying within – although the infrastructure of the country is not eye appealing at all but still it has an aura that would want you not to leave the place.
Italy is one of the most favourite tourism spots in the world, Italians are more loyal to their region than to their nation – something that is apparent in its cuisines, dialects, landscapes and often varying standards of living. Hundreds of local festivals take place in the country, either celebrating a saint or a harvest day, enjoying good food or their obsession with clothes and images and in the daily ritual of the collective evening stroll or passeggiata – a sociable affair celebrated by young and old alike in every town and village across the country.

France
Return Ticket for 2 (approximate): 250,000 PKR
Per night average hotel rate: 10,000 PKR
Places to visit in France range from the fretted coasts of Brittany and the limestone hills of Provence to the canyons of the Pyrenees and the half-moon bays of Corsica, and from the lushly wooded valleys of the Dordogne and the gentle meadows of the Loire valley to the glaciated peaks of the Alps. The physical diversity of France is way too much attractive for you to be honeymooning in France. Each region looks and feels different, has its own style of architecture, its own characteristic food and often its own dialect.
The importance of the land reflects throughout French culture. Perhaps the most striking feature of the French countryside is the sense of space. There are huge tracts of woodland and undeveloped land without a house in sight, and, away from the main urban centres, hundreds of towns and villages have changed.

South Africa
Return Ticket for 2 (approximate): 250,000 PKR
Per night average hotel rate: 8,000 PKR
South Africa is a large, diverse and incredibly beautiful country. The size of France and Spain combined, and roughly twice the size of Texas, it varies from the picturesque Garden Route towns of the Western Cape to the raw subtropical coast of northern KwaZulu-Natal, with the vast Karoo semi-desert across its heart and one of Africa’s premier safari destinations, Kruger National Park, in the northeast. It’s also one of the great cultural meeting points of the African continent, a fact obscured by decades of enforced racial segregation, but now manifest in the big cities.
South Africa’s excellent infrastructure surprises many visitors and draws favourable comparison with countries such as Australia or the United States. Good air links and bus networks, excellent roads and a growing number of first-class B&Bs and guesthouses make South Africa a perfect touring country. For those on a budget, mushrooming backpacker hostels and backpacker buses provide cost-efficient means of exploring the vast number of places to visit.

Greece
Return Ticket for 2 (approximate): 180,000 PKR
Per night average hotel rate: 12,000 PKR
Greece remains a premier-league travel destination, despite its economic destination. It has superb beaches and mountainous interior. Yet perhaps its greatest riches are the islands, ranging from backwaters where the boat calls twice a week to resorts as cosmopolitan as any in the Mediterranean.
Minoans, Romans, Arabs, Latin Crusaders, Venetians, Slavs, Albanians and Turks have all left their mark, and almost every town or village has a link to the past, whether it’s a delicately crumbling temple to Aphrodite, a forbidding Venetian fort or a dusty Byzantine monastery decorated with exquisite frescoes. Museums are stuffed to bursting with Classical sculpture and archeological treasures.
Places to see: Cape Sounion, Thessaloniki, Zagori, Halkidiki, Peloponnese, Delphi, Meteora, Crete, Athens, Santorini
Prague (Czech Republic)
Return Ticket for 2 (approximate): 180,000 PKR
Per night average hotel rate: 12,000 PKR
Historical, fanciful, self-indulgent and cynical, Prague amazes its visitors and charms them.
Flowing from the east towards Germany, the Vltava divides Prague in the centre. Hradčany and Malá Strana, once home to the Austro-Hungarian elite, sit primly on the left bank, faced by the noisier commercial quarters, Staré Město, Josefov and Nové Město. Hradčany, which houses the castle and St Vitus’ Cathedral, tumbles into Malá Strana (Little Quarter), a maze of cobbles, carved doorhandles and stickleback roofs. Over the river is Staré Město (Old Town), a delicate web of alleys and passages running towards Staroměstské náměstí, the old market square. Within Staré Město is the old Jewish quarter, Josefov, which now encloses a luxury shopping district. Nové Město (New Town), the most central part of the modern city, spans the largest area of old Prague, with blocks stretching south and east of the old town in long strides.
Places to see: Powder Tower, Dancing House, Old New Synagogue, Tyn Church, Mala Strana, Wenceslas Square, Prague Astronomical Clock, Prague Castle, Old Town Square, Charles Bridge
Spain
Return Ticket for 2 (approximate): 150,000 PKR
Per night average hotel rate: 9,000 PKR
Spain is a country that fast becomes an addiction. You might intend to come just for a beach holiday, a walking tour or a city break, but before you know it you’ll find yourself hooked by something quite different – the wild celebration of some local fiesta, perhaps, or the otherworldly architecture of Barcelona. Even in the best-known places to visit – from the capital, Madrid, to the costas, from the high Pyrenees to the Moorish cities of the south – there are genuinely surprising attractions at every turn, whether it’s hip restaurants in the Basque country, the wild landscapes of the central plains, or cutting-edge galleries in the industrial north. Soon, you’ll notice that there is not just one Spain but many – and indeed, Spaniards themselves often speak of Las Españas (the Spains).
You might think you are on holiday in Spain – your hosts may be adamant that you’re actually visiting Catalunya, and will point to a whole range of differences in language, culture and artistic traditions, not to mention social attitudes and politics.
Places to see: Toledo, Cordoba, San Sebastian, Valencia, Seville, Madrid, Spanish Islands, Granada, Barcelona
