Europe’s most popular carnivals are a great excuse to get away in February. Where do you fancy going? Cadiz, Tenerife, Venice, Basel...

This large square was made famous around the world when television channels broadcast the final moments in power of Rumanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu on 21 December 1989. 
It was here, on the balcony of the old Communist Party Headquarters, that Nicolae Ceausescu looked out in amazement on how the people gathered in the square turned against him and he fled the angry crowd in his white helicopter, only to be captured outside of the city a few hours later.

The importance of the square dates much further back than the dramatic events of the 1989 Revolution. It is a central location where a bit of all the city’s history can be found. On the other side of the square is the oldRoyal Palace, now the headquarters of the National Art Museum, the impressive Romanian Athenaeumand the historic Athenee Palace Hotel. The small and beautiful Kretzulescu Church can be visited at the southern end of the square.

What better way to discover a city than aboard this colourful tram? The Ebbelwei-Express will take you to all the most interesting sites of Frankfurt on a psychedelic vehicle that could well have been inspired by the Beatle’s yellow submarine.
While enjoying the journey, passengers will listen to music and be served cider (the city’s traditional beverage) and the typical pretzels (savoury biscuits in the form of a knot).
The journey lasts about one hour. Departing from the zoo, the route passes by the Modern Art Museum, the Cathedral, St Paul’s Church and the central station before ending up at the municipal library – Der Portikus.
Passengers can get on and off the Ebbelwei-Express as they please along the way, meaning that the fun is guaranteed.
