Fly with the World’s Best Airline to Europe
Qatar Airways, winner of the Skytrax's award for 'Airline of the Year' for multiple years continues to be one of the world’s fastest growing airlines. Check out the following new destinations under Qatar Airway’s expanding network of more than 150 destinations worldwide - waiting to be explored by you.
1. Nice, France
Just the name Cote d’Azur conjures up images of sunshine, seafood and glamour with the likes of Cannes and St Tropez. But it is Nice that is the mainstay, and flights to Nice are constantly full as travellers seek a spot away from their humdrum lives to live it up with the beautiful people. In Nice, you can experience verdant hills, sparkling seas, and beaches you will never want to leave. The city has an air of charm, with a mesmerising mix of old and new, clutter and space, businessmen and beach bums. Make sure to check out the Chagall museum, the Mamac house and try a salade niçoise.
2. Skopje, Macedonia
The capital of the Republic of Macedonia offers a mix of Balkan and Mediterranean cultures and a legacy of many empires. Roman ruins dot the countryside and beautiful Ottoman mosques share the city with onion domed Orthodox churches. Even though Skopje features all the modern conveniences found in most European capitals, it is easy to stumble upon a 2000 year old Roman aqueduct or a medieval stone bridge leading to an old Bazaar. While you’re there, explore the city’s old quarter and visit the Kale Fortress, which offers the best views of the city and of the entire Skopje valley.
3. Prague, Czech Republic
The city of Prague is 1,000 years old, and over the centuries, Prague has seen it all. From kings to composers and Nazis to revolutionaries, there has always been something afoot in this historic city. The city is dominated by its castle which sits on a hill overlooking the city centre and was once the seat of the Kings of Bohemia. Create lifelong lasting memories in the Czech capital and don’t neglect spending time exploring the medieval gem. Discover the shopping area close to the Wenceslas Square, walk through the Jewish Quarter and take in the beauty created by the river flowing majestically through the city with its countless bridges.
4. Kyiv, Ukraine
The capital of Ukraine is a fascinating city bursting with its own unique personality; fiercely protective of its modern standing as the capital of an independent state, but proud of its past, the people of this city are welcoming, happy and in possession of a notoriously thriving nightlife. Kyiv is full of fascinating, proud and enigmatic attractions. The multitude of historical and religious buildings makes it hard to choose which ones to visit. Make sure you don’t miss the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, St Sophia’s Cathedral and the Mariyinsky Palace and park. For a shopping session you can go to the Ocean Plaza, which offers 400 shops, 40 restaurants, cinemas and an aquarium.
