Our brochure range

REGARDING OUR BROCHURES: Please read these terms and conditions carefully as they incorporate the basis upon which bookings are accepted by Flight Centre Limited (ABN 25 003 377 188) trading as Infinity Holidays (‘Infinity Holidays’, ‘we’ or ‘us’).

BROCHURE: This brochure was submitted for print on 16 November 2009. Infinity Holidays has exercised reasonable care and skill to ensure that the contents of this brochure are correct, accurate and up-to-date at the time of printing. Please note that the contents of this brochure are based on information supplied to us by third-party suppliers and we do not have, and cannot be reasonably expected to have, personal knowledge about all of the facilities or services provided by each supplier; and facilities or services may change after the date of printing. Prior to making a booking, you should ask your travel consultant about any changes to the published information of which we may be aware. You should also make sure that if we are advised of changes that occur after booking, we can contact you.

PRICES: The prices in this brochure are valid for travel from 1 November 2009 to 31 October 2010. Please note that prices quoted here are subject to change. This may occur due to matters outside our control which increase the cost of the product or service. Such factors include (without limitation) adverse currency fluctuations, fuel surcharges, taxes and airfare increases. Please contact a Infinity Holidays travel consultant for up-to-date prices. Unless otherwise stated, prices are inclusive of taxes and charges that apply as at 28 August 2009 but they do not include any fees that may be imposed directly by third parties. Prices are in Australian dollars and are valid for travel departing Australia (unless otherwise stated).

AGENCY: Infinity Holidays puts together holiday packages but is not itself a transport, tour, event or accommodation provider: it acts only as an agent for those service providers. It is therefore important for you to obtain and read the service providers’ terms and conditions applicable to the products in your package. Also, make sure you are aware of any exclusions or limitations of liability imposed by the service providers, some of which may limit or exclude liability in respect to death, personal injury, delay and loss or damage to baggage. Infinity Holidays has no responsibility for the products or services provided by these service providers, nor does it make or give any warranty or representation regarding the standard of those products or services. All bookings are made subject to the terms and conditions, and limitations of liability imposed by those service providers. Your legal recourse is against the specific provider and not Infinity Holidays. If for any reason any travel service provider is unable to provide the services for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against the provider and not with Infinity Holidays.

LIABILITY: To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude all liability of whatever nature, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, for the acts, omissions or default, whether negligent or otherwise, of third-party providers over whom we have no direct control, and for any loss or damage whatsoever (including but not limited to physical and psychological injury and loss or damage to property of whatever nature) that may arise in any way in connection to the offer or supply of products or services through Infinity Holidays or any third parties, or in connection with the supply of such products or services. Under circumstances where liability cannot be excluded, such liability is limited to the value of the purchased travel arrangements. We do not accept any liability in contract, tort or otherwise for any injury, damage, loss (including consequential loss), delay, additional expense or inconvenience caused directly or indirectly by force majeure or any other event that is beyond our control, which is not preventable by reasonable diligence on our part.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS: Travel documents include (without limitation) airline tickets, hotel vouchers, tour vouchers or any other document (whether in electronic form or otherwise) used to confirm an arrangement with a service provider. Travel documents may be subject to certain conditions and/or restrictions including (without limitation) being non-refundable, non-date-changeable and subject to cancellation and/or amendment fees. All travel documents are non-transferable. All airline tickets must be issued in the name of the passport/photo identity holder; some carriers will deny carriage if the name varies and the booking may be cancelled. It is your responsibility to collect all travel documents prior to travel.

TRAVEL INSURANCE: Travel insurance is strongly recommended by the Department of Foreign Affairs and

Trade for all overseas travel. Your travel consultant can provide information to you about travel insurance. For details of the services they provide, including a quote, please refer to their Financial Services Guide.

PASSPORTS & VISAS: It is your responsibility to ensure you have valid passports, visas and re-entry permits that meet the requirements of immigration and other government authorities. Any fines, penalties, payments or expenditures incurred as a result of such documents not meeting the requirements of those authorities will be your sole responsibility. All travellers must have a valid passport for international travel and many countries require at least six months validity from the date of entry. If you need information regarding visa and other travel document requirements for your trip, please ask your travel consultant.

TRAVEL ADVICE: Infinity Holidays makes no representations as to the safety, conditions or other issues that may exist at any destination. For travel advice, please contact the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade or visit their website at <www.smartraveller.gov.au>.

HEALTH: It is your responsibility to ensure you are aware of any health requirements for your travel destinations and to ensure that you carry all necessary vaccination documentation.

TAXES: Certain taxes are mandatory in various countries. There may also be an additional local tax charged at some airports. All taxes are subject to change without notice. All prices and charges in this brochure include Australian GST where applicable.

DEPOSITS & FINAL PAYMENTS: A non-refundable deposit of $165 per person for international bookings and $55 per person for domestic bookings is payable within seven days of confirmation of your reservation. You will be notified at the time of your reservation if any additional deposit requirements apply. All deposits are non-refundable. Full payment for your holiday package is required at least 30 days prior to departure, or by the sale end date or payment deadline specified in individual package conditions, whichever is earliest. If for any reason we do not receive the deposit or your balance by the due date, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled and to apply the appropriate cancellation charges. A deposit holds services requested but does not guarantee prices. Bookings made within 30 days of departure will only be accepted if full payment is received by Infinity Holidays at the time of reservation. The price of your holiday may change at any time until the full payment is received and airline tickets are issued. Tickets will be issued within one business day of receiving full payment. If we have to change any part of your booking for reasons beyond our control, for example if an airline changes its schedules, if a hotelier overbooks hotel accommodation or if there are any changes in applicable taxes or charges, we will notify you. If any such changes result in your holiday costing more or otherwise being materially different from that originally booked, then you may cancel the holiday and we will refund any monies already paid less any charges levied by suppliers.

CANCELLATION FEES: Cancelled bookings will incur charges. These charges can be up to 100% of the cost of the booking, regardless of whether travel has commenced. Fees will also apply where a booking is changed or tickets are re-issued. Without limitation, the following cancellation fees will apply as a minimum and are subject to change – International: after full payment, the cancellation fee on packages will be the non-refundable deposit of $165 per person plus any supplier fees on the land portion of your booking and any airline cancellation fees on the air portion. Domestic: after full payment, the cancellation fee on packages will be the non-refundable deposit of $55 per person plus any supplier fees on the land portion of your booking. Domestic airfares are non-refundable.

AMENDMENTS: An amendment is a change to an existing booking with the same inclusions. Any supplier or airline amendment fees will be charged. A transfer to another package may be treated as a cancellation and operator cancellation fees may apply. If the new package is of greater value and no operator fees apply, there will be no amendment/reissue fee.

REFUNDS: To the extent permitted by law, no refund is available for cancellations after the holiday package has commenced or in respect of any tours, accommodation, meals or any other services not utilised. Requests for refunds received more than six months after the departure date for travel will not be accepted.

NOT INCLUDED IN PRICE OF HOLIDAY: All passengers are responsible for the cost of their own travel arrangements to and from their departure point (as set out in the brochure). The cost of anything not specifically noted as being included in the holiday package is at the passenger’s expense.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS: Product descriptions featured in this brochure are based on current international hotel guides and information provided by hotels and suppliers. Any facilities shown as included are subject to change at any time. The standard of accommodation and other services is based on various factors, which are generally accepted as indicative of a certain class. However, Infinity Holidays does not guarantee the standard, class or fitness for purpose of that accommodation or service.

MAPS & PHOTOGRAPHS: Maps are shown for general information and may not necessarily reflect actual routings, locations or services provided. Photographs show places in the geographic areas, but are not necessarily included in the holiday. Hotel room photographs are representative only, and the actual rooms occupied may vary in decor and inclusions from those shown. Many images are supplied courtesy of tourist bureaus, hotels and tour operators.

CREDIT CARD TRANSACTIONS: The prices shown are for payment by cash. A credit card surcharge will apply when paying by credit card.

PRIVACY POLICY: Infinity Holidays is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of personal information. Our Privacy Policy is available for viewing at <www.flightcentre.com.au>, or ask your travel consultant for details.

BAGGAGE: Carriers publish baggage allowances applicable for carriage over their own services. Allowances include cabin baggage and checked baggage. These allowances tend to be based on a weight allowance or a piece system. We recommend you check your baggage allowance carefully as you may incur a charge for the carriage of baggage in excess of their free baggage allowance. Carriers also publish baggage safety notices, which detail items that cannot be carried or can only be carried in checked baggage. Again, we recommend you ask your chosen carrier about the applicable baggage safety requirements.

PRE-DEPARTURE CONTACT: Please ensure your travel consultant advises Infinity Holidays of a telephone number or address where you can be reached within 24 hours prior to your departure from Australia.

BOOKING ARRANGEMENTS: To make a booking, select the holiday of your choice and then contact your licensed or AFTA travel consultant who will request a reservation for you. All reservations are subject to availability at the time of booking. Any verbal quote given is an estimate only and can only be confirmed when the reservation is confirmed and the deposit is received. When a booking is made, the person effecting the booking is deemed to have accepted these terms and conditions on behalf of all people named in the booking. The contract will be governed by and subject to these terms and conditions. No variations to these terms and conditions will be of any effect unless made in writing and with the authority of Infinity Holidays. All communications from us will be sent to your travel consultant. Your travel consultant will, on receipt of any holiday monies, hold such monies for each and every person named in the booking until that booking is confirmed, at which time those monies shall be promptly remitted by your travel consultant to Infinity Holidays.

MONIES NOT HELD ON TRUST: All monies paid by you to us will be the property of Infinity Holidays and will be a debt due and payable to the relevant supplier (contingent on availing) once the services to which the money relates have been availed or the relevant booking is cancelled (subject to cancellation fees). You agree and acknowledge that such monies will not be held by Infinity Holidays on trust for or on behalf of you.

GOVERNING LAW: The terms and conditions contained within this brochure are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. Flight Centre Limited (ABN 25 003 377 188) trading as Infinity Holidays. Licence numbers QLD 3124259, NSW 2TA002547, VIC 32360, WA 9TA 1362, SA TTA192799, ACT 18800566.

You may be seeking total relaxation or a full-tilt adventure; you may want to immerse yourself in history or to experience new cultures, customs and beliefs; or you may simply hope to feast on gastronomical delights that are renowned the world over. Whatever your desire, indulge yourself with a holiday to europe and you will leave with a whole new outlook on life.

FranceFrance is the most visited country in europe, which is no surprise, as it seems to have received an extra helping of beauty – from its soaring mountain ranges to gorgeous beaches and cosmopolitan cities. and there’s no city more cosmopolitan than Paris, a city renowned not only for its beauty, but for its impeccable style, love of art and distinctive cuisine.

the fabled French riviera (côte d’azur) is renowned for its glamorous nightlife, exposed beaches and chic resorts, such as cannes and st tropez. along with neighbouring monaco, the 160 kilometre-long côte d’azur attracts the rich and famous, as well as artists drawn by the inspiration of its hillside beauty and sultry climate.

the city of nice is renowned as the hub of the French riviera. relax with a cool drink, just metres from the mediterranean, then explore the lovely art deco facades. Further into regional France, medieval avignon invites you to tour its maze of narrow streets and wander along the low fortified wall that runs unbroken for nearly five kilometres. in beautiful aix-en-Provence, stroll the majestic tree-lined cours mirabeau into fountained squares crowded with 16th-century architecture and explore a labyrinth of tiny lanes lined with cafes, restaurants and shops. in Lyon, stroll the narrow cobblestone streets of ‘Vieux Lyon’, now a designated unesco World Heritage site and wander past 17th and 18th-century mansions and museums to the Basilique de notre-dame.

Italyit’s hard to resist the appeal of beautiful italy. there are so many aspects to the country, the hard part will be deciding what you love most. the art and culture, the delicious food, the wonderful scenery, or the sheer magnitude of italy’s history – how could anyone be expected to make a choice?

the city of rome is simultaneously romantic, historic and vibrant. it is timeless with its ancient history, art and architecture, containing more historic treasures than anywhere else in the world.

Built on 117 small islands, the intriguing city of Venice holds 150 canals, connected by an amazing 409 bridges. it’s the perfect city to ‘get lost’ in. away from the main streets you’ll discover mysterious alleyways leading off from the city, endless mazes of backstreets and deserted squares – the perfect place to explore for hours on end.

Florence is one of the most beautiful and ancient cities in italy. it is the birthplace of many of the people who have profoundly influenced the course of human history in every field of art, literature and philosophy. Known as the ‘city of Flowers’, it is the place where the renaissance grew and embraced enlightenment. its striking buildings, formidable galleries and treasure-crammed churches attest to the Florentine love of display and with its skyline, all russet rooftops and lofty domes, it is indeed picturesque.

Beyond the cities there are even more delights. explore emilia-romagna, tuscany and umbria, naples and other regions, each famed for their splendid food and wine specialties.

Central Europetravel deep into the heart of the continent and discover yet another side to fascinating europe. central europe offers enough intriguing sights, beautiful scenery and exciting events to last a lifetime.

austria has little competition as a year-round holiday destination, with plenty of winter sports in the alps, some of the most impressive architecture in europe and an unrivalled musical tradition. Vienna is austria’s capital city, hub of the country’s musical life and dotted with beautiful buildings, while music, art and architecture reach Baroque perfection in salzburg, mozart’s birthplace.

switzerland evokes images of towering mountain peaks, alpine villages and lofty pastures, but there’s much more to this country than its stunning landscapes: its cities are also first class when it comes to holiday photo opportunities. First impressions of Zürich, switzerland’s largest city, show a small metropolis with church steeples towering above a crystal-blue river and lake, but it is also home to europe’s largest annual street party and radiates a year-round lively atmosphere. Further south you’ll find Lucerne, a beautiful small city boasting invigorating mountain views, lake cruises and a picturesque old quarter.

Germany is a feast for the senses, over and above the bratwurst and beers. it is a country with a thousand different characters, one for each immaculate city and town awaiting exploration between the soaring southern alps, across the beautiful Bavarian plain and along the course of the mighty rhine, all the way the Baltic coast. architecture, art, cuisine and even local traditions vary so dramatically from Frankfurt to munich and to duplicitous Berlin, that every day promises brand new discoveries.

the netherlands, a lush, liberal land, was famous for its windmills, dykes and tulips well before it was coveted for its effervescent party scene, so it manages to keep every traveller spellbound. amsterdam is both a haven of history and a miracle of modern society, full of friendly people keen to share its secrets. the excitement of the city streets, the casual cafe culture, the postcard quality of the canals and the serenity of the surrounding countryside ensure it is totally unforgettable.

the czech republic is too often left out of standard european tours, but it is a shame to miss the fascinating history and culture that seems to seep from the very pavement in Prague. Gorgeous Gothic palaces, majestic churches, castles and synagogues, amazing museums, bustling theatres and thriving music halls combine to create a city adventure that’s nothing short of inspirational.

France is one of the most visited countries in europe, and it’s no surprise. this is a country overflowing with history, art and culture, all in one very beautiful package. From dazzling beaches, soaring mountains and majestic coastlines to city sophistication and rustic splendour, everything is right here in France. and there’s no place like Paris, one of the world’s most renowned cities, filled with a plethora of holiday treasures.

CultureFrance is a treasure trove of art and culture. majestic and priceless palaces, churches, chateaux and other monuments housing magnificent collections of art, and are more than often works of beauty themselves.

one of the country’s finest examples is the Palace of Versailles, filled with sumptuous furnishings and elaborate murals. France also

boasts a vast number of historic religious buildings, from Paris’ notre dame and sacre coeur Basilica to normandy’s mont st-michel and the amazing 13th-century cathedral of chartres. Paris is an art lover’s delight: some of the world’s finest and most famous art galleries, museums and monuments, such as the Louvre and the famous eiffel tower, are found throughout the capital.

Lifestylethe French way of life is famous the world over. relaxed and family-oriented, with a love of fine food and wine, the French love a regular aperitif with family or friends. settling into one of the many outdoor cafes in the early evening, locals enjoy a wine and a chat as the sun goes down. the French are also an affectionate bunch, known for their greeting of a quick peck on either cheek. relaxed and sociable, the French lifestyle does not just encourage an easy-going holiday ambience, it lives it, seven days a week.

Natural wondersFrance is a great land filled with many natural assets. the Loire Valley is one of the most beautiful regions in the country. the picturesque landscape is dotted with historic towns and villages, monasteries, monuments and elaborate grand chateaux.

the beautiful French riviera is the place of dreams. stretching along the mediterranean coast, the region is dotted with seaside towns, all with famous names: nice, monaco, cannes, st tropez – they all conjure up visions of movie stars and glamorous beauties.

Diningtraditionally, the French have treated food with great respect. a reverence for food and a bounty load of the finest ingredients are combined with care and love. the result is French cuisine, considered to be the best in the world.

all over France you will discover and succumb to the sublime flavours of some of the most delicious food you’ve ever tasted. Let your tastebuds lead you through Burgundy, normandy, Périgord, the Loire Valley, Provence and alsace – France’s celebrated food regions, each with their own distinctive specialities and traditions.

all that beautiful food will be accompanied by some of the world’s finest wines. make your way through the world-acclaimed vineyards of alsace, Languedoc-roussillon, Burgundy, the Loire Valley and rhône regions, Bordeaux and champagne, discovering the specialties of each region. Be prepared to indulge in long, lingering lunches and seemingly endless dinners enjoyed well into the twilight.

ShoppingFrance is a shopoholic’s dream! Great local buys include lace, crystal glass, cheeses, coffee and, of course, wines, spirits and liqueurs. However, no shopping trip is complete without a taste of Paris’ world-famous fashion. Located next to the Louvre, the Faubourg saint-Honore district is the pulse of Paris design and fashion, boasting such designers as Versace, Hermes and Yves saint Laurent.

avenue montaigne and avenue des champs-elysees form one of the city’s hottest fashion junctures with legendary designers like chanel, dior and Louis Vuitton lining the street.

it’s very easy to fall in love with italy. there are so many wonderful aspects to the country that the hard part will be deciding what you love the most. the art and culture, the delicious food, the beautiful scenery, the charming locals, the sheer magnitude of italy’s history – the list is endless!

History and cultureit’s impossible to be unaware of italy’s immense sense of history: the country has 41 World Heritage-listed sites – more than any other country.

some of the world’s most valued and famous artworks are found in italy. art is such an intrinsic

part of some italian cities that they are known as ‘citta d’arte’, or ‘cities of art’.

each of italy’s cities has its own distinct character and appeal, shaped by centuries of geographical location, historical chance and regional traditions and style. rome’s imperial roots are still evident, elegant Florence still resonates with the renaissance, naples is full of colour and chaos and there’s just nowhere else in the world quite like Venice. Visit them all and find your favourite.

Lifestyleitaly’s greatest wealth is its people; the gregarious, charming italians seem to know how to do everything bigger and better. they love their food, their families, their music and their heritage, and they display a passion for everything they do. they also love to laugh and talk, usually emphasising everything with hand gestures, and are quick to welcome strangers into their towns and homes, ready to share a meal, a story or a good joke. the italian’s love of the good life is so contagious you’re bound to throw up your hands, declare ‘when in rome’ and indulge in a leisurely cafe sojourn or simply settle down for an afternoon siesta.

Natural wondersthe green hills of tuscany are synonymous with visions of rustic villas, charming hill towns and wine from local vineyards. if skiing and alpine trekking is your thing, the dolomites are for you, or head north to the Lakes district at the foot of the alps.

if you’re dreaming of white sandy beaches, blindingly blue water and stunning coastlines, italy can provide. choose from the sandy coves of sardinia, the dramatic cliffs and vistas along

the breathtaking amalfi coast, the enticing isle of capri or the sheltered bay of santa margherita.

Diningone of the greatest passions for all italian people is food. While italian cuisine is very familiar to the western palate, mealtime in italy is less about extinguishing hunger and more about the experience. the main meal of the day is lunch and it may last several hours. it’s not unusual to have four courses – antipasti (starters), primi piatti (pasta or soup), secondi piatti (meat or fish) and dolci (desert). topped off with several bottles of wine and completed with coffee or grappa, it’s no wonder the locals need a siesta!

each city or region will serve up a new take on your favourite dish, while proudly declaring it to be the most authentic version, better than all others. For a more hands-on experience, there are cooking courses and tours available throughout the country, particularly in umbria, emilia-romagna and tuscany.

Shoppingif you love to shop, you’ll love italy. this place was designed for shopping; in fact, in some parts of rome the traffic is banned on saturdays to make way for the window shoppers! in milan, the best fashion gazing is to be done along four adjoining streets, known collectively as the Quadrilatero d’oro (Golden Quadrilateral). the main artery of this shopping heartland is Via montenapoleone, lined with chic boutiques and elegant fashion outlets. tuscany’s montalcino is the perfect stop to purchase a delicious local wine, while rome’s Via dei coronari is an antique collector’s dream.

Tuscany

knowˇ Get in the know ...to market, to market! When in rome, join the locals at some of the city’s wonderful markets and be reminded of a more traditional way of life. You’ll usually be greeted with an overwhelming display of fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and seafood stalls, delicatessen produce and often clothing, shoes and bric-a-brac. the prettiest of rome’s markets, but probably the most expensive, is the daily campo de’ Fiori. But you’ll find the trastevere locals shopping at the Piazza san cosimato market, an excellent and very traditional neighbourhood market adjacent to Via natale del Grande, one of the best food-shopping streets in rome. another good place to shop is the covered Piazza dell’ unita market near the Vatican or the testaccio market on Piazza testaccio.

1. navigate the roman ruins

Palatine Hill offers a glimpse into how the emperors once lived. the colosseum stands at the apex of the entire city, its once imposing circular walls still housing the legends of those who fought and died on its arena floor.

2. climb the tower of Pisa

immediately noticeable, the tower of Pisa is one of the most famous places to visit in italy. construction began in 1173 and took 250 years to finish.

3. Party at carnevale, Venice

this is the city’s last big party before easter fasting begins on ash Wednesday. For eight days, revellers dress up in cloaks, wigs and distinctive traditional masks to hide their identity, then go out to celebrate and be seen.

4. Bicycle through tuscany

the best way to immerse yourself in the beauty and culture of this region is to simply get on a bike and pick a direction. a highlight of any trip to italy are the roads connecting Florence and siena which run along scenic hills and through beautiful vineyards.

5. make your own pasta!

the words ‘italy’ and ‘pasta’ really are synonymous, so why not make your italian holiday experience a very authentic one by learning how to make pasta from scratch? Join a handmade pasta course in Florence and wow your friends and family at your next dinner party.

6. explore the amalfi coast

the gorgeous stretch of coastline from sorrento to salerno is among the most beautiful in europe. the winding, cliff-top road trip along the coast is an experience in itself with superb ocean views.

7. eat in the trastevere district

italy is well know for its delicious and exhaustive menus, but top chefs from all over the country have declared this district in rome as their home.

8. see red in Bologna

red is everywhere in the Bologna region. From the rust-coloured bricks of the buildings and monuments, to the deep red of Parma’s prosciutto, it’s the dominant hue. and of course the best colour for a Ferrari is red! drool over these dream machines at the Galleria Ferrari in maranello.

9. shop ‘till you drop in milan

it’s no mistake that milan is known as the most fashionable city in italy. the Golden Quad, milan’s fashion precinct, is teeming with designer boutiques, a haven for fashionistas. think Gucci, moschino, Prada, dolce & Gabbana and Versace, as well as their local son, Georgio armani.

10. Visit Florence’s accademia Gallery

the marble statue of michelangelo’s David is the signature attraction of the accademia Gallery and one of the lasting images of Florence.

Venice, Milan & Regional Ital

Top 5 things to dothe old traveller’s motto about getting off the beaten track to really experience a destination

has never been more true than in italy. coasting along the canals of Venice, lingering over the designer labels in milan or strutting along cobblestones on the amalfi coast are all quintessential, unforgettable italian experiences.

there’s nowhere quite like Venice. the opulent renaissance facades, faded grandeur and poignant beauty have appealed to travellers for centuries. For more than 1000 years, Venice was a major sea port and trade hub, but these days there’s more than a touch of wistful opulence and romantic charm that proves Venice will stand the test of time.

milan, the capital of fashion, designer furniture, devoted football fans and delicious gelato, is an adventure all on its own. Boutiques are bursting at the seams with famous home-grown names like armani, Versace and Gucci.

Venice

The flavour of Italy

1. stroll through st mark’s Basilica

enjoy relics from the world over, including the icon of the madonna of nicopeia.

2. tour Venice on a gondola

3. see The Last Supper in milan

4. shop milan’s fashion strips

5. try some naples pizza

You really need a couple of lifetimes to fully explore all the fabulous attractions of central europe. magnificent scenery, tonnes of history, great food, superb architecture and wonderful people; it’s all waiting!

History and heritageit’s impossible to see this part of europe without seeing living history – it’s part of the cultural fabric. rising and waning fortunes, military might or defeat, art and culture have all shaped the region and the evidence is everywhere.

aristocratic Vienna has such jewels as the Hofburg Palace and the museumsquartier. Gorgeous salzburg is filled with elaborate 17th-century buildings leaning over narrow cobbled streets.

Beautiful Prague isn’t known as the ‘Golden city of a Hundred spires’ for nothing! this medieval

city is graced by historic fairytale architecture and elegant bridges over the Vltava river.

Berlin is perhaps one of the most historically significant places in the region. events that took place here in the first half of the 20th century dramatically changed not just the region, but the entire world. another German favourite filled with history and heritage, munich was founded by Henry the Lion in 1158 to eventually become the cosmopolitan capital city of Bavaria.

Zürich boasts Gothic and Baroque churches and an overdose of museums, including the Zürich Kunsthaus, founded in Victorian times. the history of the beautiful city of Lucerne saw the town become a focal point for switzerland’s tourism industry. it was also the setting for the most memorable part of the legend of William tell.

Natural wondersthere’s something romantic about mountains, and there’s certainly no shortage of them in central europe. so it’s not surprising that the region attracts keen hikers in the summer and skiers in the winter months.

the danube Valley is another of central europe’s natural wonders. the most beautiful stretch of europe’s mightiest river lies between melk and Krems an der donau. the surrounding countryside is filled with picturesque towns, ruined castles and vineyards. to really appreciate the area’s beauty, take to the water on a cruise. or, for the more active, it’s possible to ride the danube cycle Path. the complete journey covers 305 kilometres between Vienna and Passau on the German border. the stretch, known as the Wachau, is flat, scenic and very popular.

Diningthere are food specialities all over central europe. try everything from delicious strudel in austria to the many kinds of wurst in Germany, tasty bread dumplings in the czech republic and apfelküchlein (deep-fried apple cookies) in switzerland. then wash it all down with a Viennese coffee or one of the many fantastic beers that the whole of central europe is famous for.

Shoppingeach country in central europe offers its own traditional specialities and curiosities. and each city has its shopping highlights. stroll down the famous ‘Bahnhofstrasse’, Zürich’s ‘rodeo drive’ and one of the most beautiful shopping streets in europe. For an exclusive shopping experience in Berlin, head to the Quartier 206 in Berlin mitte. don’t miss munich’s schwabing district, with its arty atmosphere, smart boutiques and antique shops.

Vienna’s trendiest shopping area is the mariahilfer strasse, located between the city centre and Westbahnhof, where hundreds of shops offer clothing, jewellery and accessories. Head to salzburg’s old town for a great choice of goods set in a picturesque and unique atmosphere.

in amsterdam, walk the 1 kilometre strip of shops in the pedestrian nieuwedijk-Kalverstraat area for clothing, music and gift shops with that special amsterdam vibe. Visit the second-hand shops of the Zizkov area in Prague, where bargain hunters and antique collectors can discover a gold mine of dusty communist-era regalia and interesting used clothing.

ˇ Heading hereSalzburg, Austria

knowˇ Get in the know ...When in Holland, do as the dutch do and jump on a bicycle! cycling is the country’s most popular form of transportation by a long shot. the country’s 16.4 million inhabitants own 17 milliion bikes. in fact, bikes are legally entitled to right of way – bikes go first! and there is no better way to get to know amsterdam than by leisurely riding your bicycle through the waving canalside roads. Be warned however, bike theft is rampant in the netherlands, so lock up well.

1. sip a brew at oktoberfest, munich

Hailed as the world’s largest public festival, this is when all of munich kick back and relax with a very large volume of beer!

2. Visit Potsdam, Berlin

one thing you won’t want to miss while in Berlin is a visit to Potsdam, just outside the city, and san souci, Friedrich the Great’s ‘pleasure palace’.

3. see the Van Gogh museum, amsterdam

this excellent museum is dedicated to Vincent Van Gogh, amsterdam’s favourite son. Here you will find an extensive collection of the troubled artist’s work.

4. take the sound of music tour, salzburg

the famous and beloved movie was filmed in and around beautiful salzburg more than 40 years ago. Yet, touring the movie’s locations is still very popular today. Feel free to waltz around listing off your favourite things just like the Von trapp children did with maria.

5. admire Prague castle

the castle is the residence of the czech president and is the largest medieval castle complex in europe. Lined on three sides by palaces, there are a number of galleries and gardens to visit. the changing of the Guard takes place every hour, on the hour, and at noon expect an elaborate ceremony.

6. explore Zürich’s town squares

Weinplatz is Zürich’s oldest town square, dating back to the 1600s when it was used as a corn exchange. Hike through narrow alleys to Lindenhof square, with a quaint neighbourhood setting.

7. tour schönbrunn Palace, Vienna

don’t miss out on a tour of the residence itself and a chance to admire the magnificent apartments of maria theresa, her sitting rooms, bedroom and the parlour in which six-year-old mozart used to play for the empress.

8. View the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin

this immense monument is perhaps the most well-known landmark in Germany’s capital. Looming over the city since 1791 when it was erected as a symbol of peace, the gate of peace was ironically incorporated into the hated Berlin Wall.

9. enjoy römer square, Frankfurt

spend some time in römer square, with its distinctively shaped buildings, historic city hall, gorgeous church and beautiful old houses. enjoy the atmosphere from a beer garden.

10. Walk the Kapellbrucke in Lucerne

the Kapellbrucke, or chapel Bridge, in Lucerne has become a symbol of the city. Built in 1333, it is the oldest and longest roofed bridge in europe. Lined with paintings of the history of the city, it was rebuilt in 1993 after nearly burning down.

REGARDING OUR BROCHURES: Please read these terms and conditions carefully as they incorporate the basis upon which bookings are accepted by Flight Centre Limited (ABN 25 003 377 188) trading as Infinity Holidays (‘Infinity Holidays’, ‘we’ or ‘us’).

BROCHURE: This brochure was submitted for print on 16 November 2009. Infinity Holidays has exercised reasonable care and skill to ensure that the contents of this brochure are correct, accurate and up-to-date at the time of printing. Please note that the contents of this brochure are based on information supplied to us by third-party suppliers and we do not have, and cannot be reasonably expected to have, personal knowledge about all of the facilities or services provided by each supplier; and facilities or services may change after the date of printing. Prior to making a booking, you should ask your travel consultant about any changes to the published information of which we may be aware. You should also make sure that if we are advised of changes that occur after booking, we can contact you.

PRICES: The prices in this brochure are valid for travel from 1 November 2009 to 31 October 2010. Please note that prices quoted here are subject to change. This may occur due to matters outside our control which increase the cost of the product or service. Such factors include (without limitation) adverse currency fluctuations, fuel surcharges, taxes and airfare increases. Please contact a Infinity Holidays travel consultant for up-to-date prices. Unless otherwise stated, prices are inclusive of taxes and charges that apply as at 28 August 2009 but they do not include any fees that may be imposed directly by third parties. Prices are in Australian dollars and are valid for travel departing Australia (unless otherwise stated).

AGENCY: Infinity Holidays puts together holiday packages but is not itself a transport, tour, event or accommodation provider: it acts only as an agent for those service providers. It is therefore important for you to obtain and read the service providers’ terms and conditions applicable to the products in your package. Also, make sure you are aware of any exclusions or limitations of liability imposed by the service providers, some of which may limit or exclude liability in respect to death, personal injury, delay and loss or damage to baggage. Infinity Holidays has no responsibility for the products or services provided by these service providers, nor does it make or give any warranty or representation regarding the standard of those products or services. All bookings are made subject to the terms and conditions, and limitations of liability imposed by those service providers. Your legal recourse is against the specific provider and not Infinity Holidays. If for any reason any travel service provider is unable to provide the services for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against the provider and not with Infinity Holidays.

LIABILITY: To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude all liability of whatever nature, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, for the acts, omissions or default, whether negligent or otherwise, of third-party providers over whom we have no direct control, and for any loss or damage whatsoever (including but not limited to physical and psychological injury and loss or damage to property of whatever nature) that may arise in any way in connection to the offer or supply of products or services through Infinity Holidays or any third parties, or in connection with the supply of such products or services. Under circumstances where liability cannot be excluded, such liability is limited to the value of the purchased travel arrangements. We do not accept any liability in contract, tort or otherwise for any injury, damage, loss (including consequential loss), delay, additional expense or inconvenience caused directly or indirectly by force majeure or any other event that is beyond our control, which is not preventable by reasonable diligence on our part.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS: Travel documents include (without limitation) airline tickets, hotel vouchers, tour vouchers or any other document (whether in electronic form or otherwise) used to confirm an arrangement with a service provider. Travel documents may be subject to certain conditions and/or restrictions including (without limitation) being non-refundable, non-date-changeable and subject to cancellation and/or amendment fees. All travel documents are non-transferable. All airline tickets must be issued in the name of the passport/photo identity holder; some carriers will deny carriage if the name varies and the booking may be cancelled. It is your responsibility to collect all travel documents prior to travel.

TRAVEL INSURANCE: Travel insurance is strongly recommended by the Department of Foreign Affairs and

Trade for all overseas travel. Your travel consultant can provide information to you about travel insurance. For details of the services they provide, including a quote, please refer to their Financial Services Guide.

PASSPORTS & VISAS: It is your responsibility to ensure you have valid passports, visas and re-entry permits that meet the requirements of immigration and other government authorities. Any fines, penalties, payments or expenditures incurred as a result of such documents not meeting the requirements of those authorities will be your sole responsibility. All travellers must have a valid passport for international travel and many countries require at least six months validity from the date of entry. If you need information regarding visa and other travel document requirements for your trip, please ask your travel consultant.

TRAVEL ADVICE: Infinity Holidays makes no representations as to the safety, conditions or other issues that may exist at any destination. For travel advice, please contact the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade or visit their website at <www.smartraveller.gov.au>.

HEALTH: It is your responsibility to ensure you are aware of any health requirements for your travel destinations and to ensure that you carry all necessary vaccination documentation.

TAXES: Certain taxes are mandatory in various countries. There may also be an additional local tax charged at some airports. All taxes are subject to change without notice. All prices and charges in this brochure include Australian GST where applicable.

DEPOSITS & FINAL PAYMENTS: A non-refundable deposit of $165 per person for international bookings and $55 per person for domestic bookings is payable within seven days of confirmation of your reservation. You will be notified at the time of your reservation if any additional deposit requirements apply. All deposits are non-refundable. Full payment for your holiday package is required at least 30 days prior to departure, or by the sale end date or payment deadline specified in individual package conditions, whichever is earliest. If for any reason we do not receive the deposit or your balance by the due date, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled and to apply the appropriate cancellation charges. A deposit holds services requested but does not guarantee prices. Bookings made within 30 days of departure will only be accepted if full payment is received by Infinity Holidays at the time of reservation. The price of your holiday may change at any time until the full payment is received and airline tickets are issued. Tickets will be issued within one business day of receiving full payment. If we have to change any part of your booking for reasons beyond our control, for example if an airline changes its schedules, if a hotelier overbooks hotel accommodation or if there are any changes in applicable taxes or charges, we will notify you. If any such changes result in your holiday costing more or otherwise being materially different from that originally booked, then you may cancel the holiday and we will refund any monies already paid less any charges levied by suppliers.

CANCELLATION FEES: Cancelled bookings will incur charges. These charges can be up to 100% of the cost of the booking, regardless of whether travel has commenced. Fees will also apply where a booking is changed or tickets are re-issued. Without limitation, the following cancellation fees will apply as a minimum and are subject to change – International: after full payment, the cancellation fee on packages will be the non-refundable deposit of $165 per person plus any supplier fees on the land portion of your booking and any airline cancellation fees on the air portion. Domestic: after full payment, the cancellation fee on packages will be the non-refundable deposit of $55 per person plus any supplier fees on the land portion of your booking. Domestic airfares are non-refundable.

AMENDMENTS: An amendment is a change to an existing booking with the same inclusions. Any supplier or airline amendment fees will be charged. A transfer to another package may be treated as a cancellation and operator cancellation fees may apply. If the new package is of greater value and no operator fees apply, there will be no amendment/reissue fee.

REFUNDS: To the extent permitted by law, no refund is available for cancellations after the holiday package has commenced or in respect of any tours, accommodation, meals or any other services not utilised. Requests for refunds received more than six months after the departure date for travel will not be accepted.

NOT INCLUDED IN PRICE OF HOLIDAY: All passengers are responsible for the cost of their own travel arrangements to and from their departure point (as set out in the brochure). The cost of anything not specifically noted as being included in the holiday package is at the passenger’s expense.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS: Product descriptions featured in this brochure are based on current international hotel guides and information provided by hotels and suppliers. Any facilities shown as included are subject to change at any time. The standard of accommodation and other services is based on various factors, which are generally accepted as indicative of a certain class. However, Infinity Holidays does not guarantee the standard, class or fitness for purpose of that accommodation or service.

MAPS & PHOTOGRAPHS: Maps are shown for general information and may not necessarily reflect actual routings, locations or services provided. Photographs show places in the geographic areas, but are not necessarily included in the holiday. Hotel room photographs are representative only, and the actual rooms occupied may vary in decor and inclusions from those shown. Many images are supplied courtesy of tourist bureaus, hotels and tour operators.

CREDIT CARD TRANSACTIONS: The prices shown are for payment by cash. A credit card surcharge will apply when paying by credit card.

PRIVACY POLICY: Infinity Holidays is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of personal information. Our Privacy Policy is available for viewing at <www.flightcentre.com.au>, or ask your travel consultant for details.

BAGGAGE: Carriers publish baggage allowances applicable for carriage over their own services. Allowances include cabin baggage and checked baggage. These allowances tend to be based on a weight allowance or a piece system. We recommend you check your baggage allowance carefully as you may incur a charge for the carriage of baggage in excess of their free baggage allowance. Carriers also publish baggage safety notices, which detail items that cannot be carried or can only be carried in checked baggage. Again, we recommend you ask your chosen carrier about the applicable baggage safety requirements.

PRE-DEPARTURE CONTACT: Please ensure your travel consultant advises Infinity Holidays of a telephone number or address where you can be reached within 24 hours prior to your departure from Australia.

BOOKING ARRANGEMENTS: To make a booking, select the holiday of your choice and then contact your licensed or AFTA travel consultant who will request a reservation for you. All reservations are subject to availability at the time of booking. Any verbal quote given is an estimate only and can only be confirmed when the reservation is confirmed and the deposit is received. When a booking is made, the person effecting the booking is deemed to have accepted these terms and conditions on behalf of all people named in the booking. The contract will be governed by and subject to these terms and conditions. No variations to these terms and conditions will be of any effect unless made in writing and with the authority of Infinity Holidays. All communications from us will be sent to your travel consultant. Your travel consultant will, on receipt of any holiday monies, hold such monies for each and every person named in the booking until that booking is confirmed, at which time those monies shall be promptly remitted by your travel consultant to Infinity Holidays.

MONIES NOT HELD ON TRUST: All monies paid by you to us will be the property of Infinity Holidays and will be a debt due and payable to the relevant supplier (contingent on availing) once the services to which the money relates have been availed or the relevant booking is cancelled (subject to cancellation fees). You agree and acknowledge that such monies will not be held by Infinity Holidays on trust for or on behalf of you.

GOVERNING LAW: The terms and conditions contained within this brochure are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. Flight Centre Limited (ABN 25 003 377 188) trading as Infinity Holidays. Licence numbers QLD 3124259, NSW 2TA002547, VIC 32360, WA 9TA 1362, SA TTA192799, ACT 18800566.
