Copenhagen, Denmark

When surrounded by a sea of blooming flowers in Tivoli Gardens or while admiring Copenhagen's famous Little Mermaid statue, it's virtually impossible to find yourself in the capital of Denmark without a smile on your face. Amalienborg Palace, where you can catch the changing of the guards, and Kronberg Castle, the famous setting of Shakespeare's Hamlet, are just a few of the many points of interest available to you in this former humble fishing village.

Geiranger, Norway

Geiranger is where Norwegians escape when they need a vacation. The most breathtaking attraction in Geiranger, and there are many, is the mighty Seven Sisters Waterfall, spilling hundreds of thousands of gallons of water from an incredible 5,000 feet. Sitting at the head of majestic Geiranger Fjord, the city is surrounded by towering snow-covered mountain peaks, lush, green vegetation and winding hiking trails often enjoyed by the ambitious vacationer.

Lerwick/Shetland, Scotland

One hundred miles off the coast of Great Britain lies Lerwick, the main port of the Shetland Islands, in Scotland. An enchanting mix of Scotland and Norway, these islands offer a plethora of unique experiences and wildlife. Killer whales, puffins, otters, and of course, the famous Shetland ponies can be seen everywhere. The people of Shetland have strong roots in maritime history and also music; the fiddle is of particular cultural importance. Shops are filled with woodcrafts, fiddles, fine soaps, sweaters and all things Viking.

Akureyri, Iceland

Lying only 60 miles from the Arctic Circle, yet boasting some of the most pleasant climate in the country, the picturesque city of Akureyri is a sight to behold. Granite, snow-capped mountains surround Akureyri, protecting it from the winds, while lush farm lands and the crystal waters of one of Iceland's most breathtaking fjords add inconceivable beauty. The Botanical Gardens are a true gem.

Reykjavik, Iceland

Iceland's capital and largest city is located on the country's southwest coast at the head of Faxafloi Bay. Settled in 877 AD, Reykjavik has grown into an important seaport and center of government and education with theatres, museums and observatories. Interestingly, this modern city still chooses to use water from nearby hot springs to heat all of its buildings.

Torshavn, Faroe Islands

Halfway between Scotland and Iceland, you'll find the Faroe Islands, the capital of which is Torshavn. An autonomous territory belonging to the Kingdom of Denmark, the islands of Faroe were formed 30 million years ago from volcanic activity. The terrain is rugged and rocky; the people, proud and friendly; and the bird population, outstanding. Travel one hour to the impressive ruins in Kirkjubour or take a walk to picturesque Old town; the homes along its narrow lanes beg to be photographed with their darkened walls, white windows, and green grass roofs.

Kirkwall, Scotland

The largest town in the capital of the Orkney Islands, Kirkwall is the center of Orkney in more ways than one. Almost all roads linking the east and west pass through town; it is also the port that provides inter-island ferry links to almost all the northern isles. In addition, it is considered one of the most charming and well preserved small towns in Scotland, rich in scenic beauty , history and medieval architecture.
