A city break sounds good. But a succession of cities sounds even better. And this is exactly what you can look forward to when you get on board an A-ROSA ship. The best crêpes in the city? Shopping streets that will set your heart racing? Or how about that quirky museum you’ve heard so much...

    The boat tour was great, staff fantastic my only problem is one of the markets they took us to was not open. But the boat announcer did not let us know that so we got Off at 7pm walking around on a rainy night looking for xmas markets that were not Open. If you want to be sure all markets are Open go a few weeks later.
