Not many cities are as enchanting as the capital of the Netherlands. With its maze of canals, crooked houses and hundreds of bridges, Amsterdam captures the imagination like nowhere else. The city has more bikes than people, so the canals are littered with Dutch bikes, tied on every railing and tree, acting as a unique backdrop to your holiday photos. Take a walk down Brouwesrgracht, just west of Amsterdam Centraal to see one of the most picturesque waterways in the city. Stop off at Toki, our favourite coffee shop in Amsterdam for a flat white and a slice of cake before continuing your amble around this stunning destination.

The French Riviera is a glamorous enclave in France that plays host to movie stars, models and millionaires come summer.

The canals of Venice are so photogenic that you’ll actually have to stop yourself taking too many photos. Take a gondola ride back in time as you travel through the aptly named Grand Canal.

In the evenings, live out your Venetian fantasy and stay in a luxury villa just outside Venice and wake up every morning feeling like royalty.

The island of Hvar off the coast of Croatia is the the country’s answer to the French Riviera.

The sunniest spot in the whole country (2724 hours of sunshine each year) also happens to be very photogenic. Away from the glitz and glamour of Hvar Town, you’ll find isolated coves, quaint villages, ancient hamlets and acres of vineyards and lavender fields just begging to be photographed.
