Europe is a continent of incredible contrasts and ancient cultures, and this month-long extravaganza brings you the very best it has to offer. From the eternal city of Rome, with its rich history, to sun-drenched Limassol in Cyprus; from Istanbul, where east meets west in a glittering array of minarets and street bazaars, to impossibly ancient Athens; and from the majestic pyramids of Cairo to the proudly British high-rise exclave of Gibraltar, Europe will become a colourful and absorbing pageant that will delight and thrill.
