Amsterdam, Haugesund, Nordfiordeid, Alesund, Rotterdam

The Port of Amsterdam is one of the most impressive harbors of Europe. Its industrial appearance turns it into a mysterious spectacle. The city is the economic and cultural center of the Netherlands. It is an "open museum", with beautiful canals, bridges, endless walkways and bike lanes.

Haugesund is a town in Rogaland county, Norway. The town is situated on a strategically important sound, the Karmsundet.

Ålesund is a picturesque fishing port at the mouth of Stor Fjord located between Bergen and Trondheim in the district of Sunnmøre and is the gateway to the surrounding fjords- Geirangefjord and Hjørundfjord- and the stunning Sunnmøre Alps. A massive fire, which burst in 1904, destroyed 800 buildings in this fishing port, which was reborn with the support of Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm II and rebuilt in the then-popular Art Nouveau style, known as Jugendstil. The result is one of the prettiest ports in Norway, boasting llovely buildings with medieval facades, elegant turrets and spires along the streets of the city center. Today, it is still one of Norway's most important fishing harbors and the world's largest supplier of Klipfish - dried cod. Your walk will lead you through Gågata pedstrial way, canalι Brosundet and Aalesunds Museum, while Aksla hill in the heart of the city (a mere 418 step climb if you are feeling mildly energetic!), offers a great panoramic view.

Often called the gateway to Europe, the port city of Rotterdam is full of old-world charm, offering amazing views and a maze of wharves and canals, along with towering spires make for a beautiful sight. The Nazi bombardment of 1940 gutted most of the old city, so, you will notice that Rotterdam's architecture is an intriguing mix of old and new: modern glass skyscrapers often stand adjacent to 19th- and 18th-century buildings. During your walk, you will see three pre World War II buildings in the city center, the city hall, St. Laurence church and the White House. Explore the Museum Boymans van Beuningen, which houses a unique collection dating from the 14th century, or the Museum Voor Volkenkunde, home to ethnological exhibits, the Delfshaven quarter with the 18th century houses and the futuristic Kijk-Kubus, an upside-down housing complex.
