Eskifjordur, Iceland
Rare is a town that greets you with a meandering river, waterfalls and a jaw-dropping mountain, but Eskifjordur is a rare place, indeed. Located on one of Iceland’s magnificent fjords, this quaint fishing village offers spectacular scenery (it’s Iceland, after all); an outdoor, geothermal-heated pool; a ‘spar’ (calcite) mine that dates to the 17th century; maritime museum housed in an 1816 building; even a privately held collection of rare stones you’re invited to see for yourself. But it’s Eskifjordur’s surroundings that your senses will celebrate, especially the village’s pride and joy, Holmatindur, standing over 3,200 feet high, and Holmanes Nature Reserve, the cliffs of which provide views to last a lifetime.

Klasvik, Faroe Islands
Located roughly 200 miles north-northwest of Scotland, the Faroe Islands are rife with steep cliffs, soaring mountains and narrow fjords. As you sail into the fishing harbor of Klaksvik, the second-largest city in the Faroe Islands, you’ll be dumbstruck by the magnificent pyramid mountain on the adjacent island of Kunoy that not only boggles the senses but forms a protective barrier to northern ocean waves. In fact the city is surrounded by some of the highest peaks in Faroe islands. You’ve never seen anything like the nearly 2500-feet-high Enniberg that drops vertically into the ocean: it’s the highest promontory in world. You will feel like you’ve come to the land of the Vikings.

Tórshavn (Faroe Islands), Denmark
Surrounded to the north and southwest by towering mountains with dramatic landscapes, Tórshavn is a picturesque port steeped in Viking history. Main attractions include Tinganes, the oldest part of town, with small wooden houses covered in turf roofs. Explore Nordic House, widely regarded as one of the finest examples of modern Nordic architecture; and Listasavn Føroya art museum. To fully experience the Faroe Islands’ ancient history, visit the ruins of Magnus Cathedral.

Kirkwall (Orkney Islands), Scotland
Kirkwall is the largest town and capital of the Orkney Islands, off the coast of northern mainland Scotland. Kirkwall is one of the most attractive and well-preserved small towns in Scotland. Apart from the main historical buildings, there are many 17th-18th century houses and other structures in the local vernacular style. Kirkwall also has the most northerly of the English speaking world’s Carnegie libraries, which was visited and opened by Andrew Carnegie and his wife in the early years of the 20th century.

Ullapool, United Kingdom
With a population of 1,500, Ullapool is a small port town but would be considered large compared to many villages in the Scottish Highlands. Situated on the banks of Loch Broom surrounded by mountains, Ullapool is fronted by rows of whitewashed, black-roofed façades that invite you to spend a pleasant day learning the town’s history, shopping for locally made gifts and feasting on hand-dived scallops. Set out from Ullapool in almost any direction and you’ll find yourself amid the spectacular scenery of the Scottish Highlands, where you can follow a river to a 30-foot cascading waterfall or head to the coast for a splendid day at the beach.

Belfast, Northern Ireland
Belfast lies snuggled into the rugged coast of Northern Ireland where the River Lagan flows to the sea. This Northern Ireland capital saw its earliest settlement in the early Middle Ages. At that time, a substantial stone fortress punctuated the horizon. Today, world travelers are eager to view her physical beauty and discover her renewed tranquility. Residents enjoy performances at the Grand Opera House, shop at trendy stores, and visit pubs lining The Golden Mile.

Douglas, Isle of Man
Discover Douglas, the capital of the Isle of Man, with its horse drawn tram and Victorian Era hotels lining the promenade. Delve into its rich Celtic history and lore. Ride the horse drawn tram to the island’s highest summit where you can see six Kingdoms: Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland, the Isle of Man and Heaven. Explore the beautifully transformed Villa Marina complex, first opened in 1931. Enjoy high end shopping while looking for uniquely Manx souvenirs of beautiful tartans, scarves, smoked kippers and locally made cheeses. Enjoy fish and chips and a famous Manx beer along the waterfront in this land of a bygone era.

Dublin (Dún Loaghaire), Ireland
A UNESCO City of Literature founded in 1592, Ireland’s capital and birthplace of Oscar Wilde, James Joyce and George Bernard Shaw has long been a stalwart of European culture. Lively, cosmopolitan and eminently walkable, Dublin’s complex history is told by medieval castles and cathedrals complemented by elegant, 18th-century houses built during the city’s prosperous Georgian era. Cruise the legendary River Liffey for spectacular views of the cast-iron Ha’penny Bridge and neoclassical Customs House. Wander the architectural gems of Trinity College, explore the cultural quarter of Temple Bar, visit a pair of medieval cathedrals (St. Patrick’s and Christ Church) and a bevy of museums before enjoying a perfect pint at one of Dublin’s cozy pubs.

Holyhead, Wales
Holyhead stands on the far side of Anglesey, which is technically an island separated from Wales by the narrow Menai Straits. The distant mountains provide an ever-present backdrop, enticing the visitor to investigate their beauty. The rural charm of North Wales is juxtaposed with some unexpected features, for, perhaps to the casual visitor's surprise, this is an area that has participated in some of the great moments of our history.

Liverpool, England
Liverpool is a city and metropolitan borough in Merseyside, in North West England, along the eastern side of the Mersey Estuary. Inhabitants of Liverpool are referred to as Liverpudlians and nicknamed "Scousers," in reference to the local meal known as 'scouse', a form of stew. In 2004, Liverpool's waterfront was declared as a UNESCO World Heritage site, reflecting the city's importance in the development of the world's trading system and dock technology.

Cork (Cobh), Ireland
Cork's history began in the 7th century with the founding of a monastery by St. Finbarr on a small alluvial island in the River Lee. The monastery and the settlement were later incorporated in the fortified base the Danes developed there. As a result of war and destruction throughout the following centuries, Cork has no medieval buildings left but boasts a few remains from the 18th century. The central area takes its architectural character from the early 19th century.

Saint-Malo, France
Explore this fascinating fortified town or discover the lovely medieval town of Dinan and its impressive clock tower and picturesque half-timbered houses. Drive along the rugged Brittany coast and savor the stunning view of mystical Mont St. Michel before wandering through its steep winding streets and the mazelike abbey passages.

Paris (Le Havre), France
Enjoy the scenic trip through the rolling French countryside to Paris and spend the day savoring it's gardens, museums and historic sites. Visit the Louvre, Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower. Take a boat ride along the Seine and a stroll along the Champs Elysee. Or visit historic Rouen or the battlefields of Normandy.
