20. Veer over to Vermeer
Take advantage of a priority ticket and head into Amsterdam’s most popular shrine to art and home to works by Rembrandt, Hals and — of course — Vermeer, at the Rijksmuseum.

19. Hit the Hogwart’s Express
No owl ever arrived with your Hogwart’s acceptance letter? No problem! Just head over to the Harry Potter Studios on a day trip from London and see the magical world of the “boy who lived” come to life.

18. See the Pride of Prado
Drop in to Madrid’s Prado Museum to immerse yourself in some of classical art’s greatest pieces, including works by Goya and Velasquez.

17. Go below the surface in Paris
If the classic City of Love experiences are too middle-of-the-road for you, then head underneath that same road and discover the catacombs. Here thousands of former Parisians rest and are a true sight to behold for anyone with a taste for the macabre.

16. Indulge in palatial pastimes
Skip the line and head inside the Doge’s Palace for some of the most extra interior designs ever. After you’ve explored the royal rooms, head across the Bridge of Sighs for the perfect photo opp.

15. Travel back in time
Famous for the remnants left behind from the nearby Vesuvius’ explosion, Pompeii is the perfect place to step into history and walk the (well-preserved) streets of the past.

14. Dine with a view in Berlin
Rising above the Berlin cityscape, the TV tower is an icon of GDR architecture as well as a great spot to visit and enjoy a snack with views.

13. Cruise Amsterdam’s canals
Discover Amsterdam from the winding viewpoint of the canals and enjoy the romance of the city under the moonlight.

12. Say szia to spa day
Head to Budapest’s thermal spas and enjoy a full day of splashing around one of Europe’s biggest city pools, with 3 outdoor and 15 indoor to choose from.

11. Don’t lose your head at the Tower of London
Skip the lines and make your way straight into the inner-city open-air museum that is the Tower of London. With over 1,000 years of history and the Crown Jewels onsite, it’s one of London’s must-dos.

10. Duck into the Duomo
Explore Milan’s incredible cathedral with the assistance of an audio guide. With so much history, it’s a great way to ensure you don’t miss anything important.

9. Venture to Versailles
The only thing more intense than the generous use of gold leaf at Versailles is the lines during popular visiting hours. Lose the line and enjoy immediate access to this incredible landmark.

8. Keep an eye on London
There aren’t many better photo opp locations than the London Eye, where you can get amazing shots of the city’s landscape with ease. Your Instagram feed will love it almost as much as you do.

7. Say buenos dias to Barcelona
The jewel of Barcelona has to be the Sagrada Familia and it’s for good reason. This architectural wonder from Gaudi bridges the gap between old-world values and exciting modernist architecture.

6. Discover Disney en Français
As Europe’s only Disney-themed resort, Disneyland Paris is the perfect destination for fans young and old. With rides, fun park fare and, of course, souvenirs, this is a classic theme park experience.

5. Capture the castle in Edinburgh
With a history matched only by the incredible views, Edinburgh Castle should be on every visitor to Scotland’s to-do list.

4. Take a break at Park Guell
If you need a break from the hectic Barcelona streets, head over to the stunning landscape that is Park Guell. With art and cultural spaces dotted throughout, this is a great spot to relax and soak up the local atmosphere.

3. When in Rome…
Do as the ancient Romans did and make your way into the Colosseum. Here you can skip the line and step directly into the past to discover more about the exciting history of this ancient city.

2. Have a real Roman holiday
Of course, you can’t miss the must-sees like the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, too. Pro tip: stretch your neck before an intense session of gazing at the amazing ceiling.

1. Enjoy no lines at the Louvre
You’ve made it all the way to Paris but come face to face with the winding line outside the museum? No thanks! Save time and see the Mona Lisa without delay by grabbing a priority ticket in advance.
