Architecture
Rome was not built in a day. Neither was Bangkok. Royal Adventures’ architectural tours invite travelers to appreciate not only the immensely diverse architectural styles across the globe but also the cultural narratives that shaped them. From New York City’s soaring skyscrapers to Kyoto’s eloquent spiritual shrines, each structure reveals a story of cultural heritage, technological innovation, and human ingenuity. Our programs help travelers discover the aesthetic and engineering details evident in renowned structures but also, by focusing on the symbiotic relationship between these buildings and the communities they serve, how distinctive architecture is inevitably greater than its contents. Special arrangements can allow for guided discussions with local architects, private visits to architecture studios, and behind-the-scenes tours. From classical Greek ruins to lavish French palaces to the simple lines of contemporary Japanese houses, architecture reveals much about its cultural origins.
