The past 20 months have certainly taught us that travel is a precious gift and privilege we can’t take for granted but I have also realized that my desire – even urge – to travel has never been stronger. I also firmly believe that COVID-19 is here to stay, it will eventually transition from a pandemic to being endemic, but it is absolutely possible to coexist with the virus (governments working together on a unified approach would certainly be helpful but the advent of Omicron has yet again shown that every country, or sometimes even region is determined to put their own random measures in place, so this remains wishful thinking on my part).

Are you passionate about history, architecture and beautiful destinations? Then we at Luxury Gold recommend that you make one of these beautiful walled cities and towns part of your next vacation. For centuries, civilizations across the globe have protected their people with walls. Steeped in history and beautifully preserved for future generations, these charming, fortified cities and towns now offer travelers the chance to experience a bygone era.

Europe is ready to open its sun-dappled arms to overseas visitors. After a long pause, successful vaccine programs and warmer weather mean large parts of Europe are anticipating a much more open summer.  Turn your travels into gold with a luxury guided vacation to explore more of the world.
