In Paris, he visits many of the city's famous landmarks, including the Louvre, Notre Dame, and the Eiffel Tower. From Paris, Gage travels to Switzerland, where he spends time in the Alps and visits the city of Geneva. After Switzerland, Gage travels to Italy, where he spends time in Rome, Florence, and Venice. In Rome, he visits the Colosseum, the Vatican, and other famous landmarks. In Florence, he visits the Uffizi Gallery and other museums. In Venice, he takes a gondola ride through the city's canals. From Italy, Gage travels to Greece and then to Turkey. In Greece, he visits Athens and the Acropolis. In Turkey, he visits Istanbul and the Hagia Sophia. Throughout the book, Gage provides detailed descriptions of the places he visits, as well as insights into the culture and history of each location.
