For famous names from rockers to royals, this summer's destination of choice – with its sandy beaches, cosmopolitan cities, fascinating architecture and diverse cultures – is Europe.

Citiscapes set the scene for Brad Pitt and wife Jennifer Aniston, who took time out to stroll arm-in-arm through Rome while the heart-throb was on a break from filming his newest movie, Ocean's Twelve. The Hollywood couple also relaxed with Brad's co-star George Clooney and his on-off flame Lisa Snowdon on Italy's Lake Como, where the ER hunk owns a home.

Perennial hotspot St Tropez was the location for Naomi Campbell's star-studded birthday bash, but it was football that drew billionaire Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovitch to Portugal, where a pair of his luxury yachts tied up in Lisbon harbour prior to the European Championships.

Island life, meanwhile, is the preferred holiday for a slew of celebs. Music legend Rod Stewart and his model girlfriend Penny Lancaster made waves in Sardinia, style icon Claudia Schiffer enjoyed the shores of Majorca, while Sarah Jessica Parker soaked up the sun in Capri.
