Europe Port Cities

Almeria, Spain
Stroll through the long avenue in the center of the city, known as La Ramba, and explore the beautiful town squares, street cafés, boutiques and galleries.

Barcelona, Spain
This marvelous city has hosted a museum's worth of masters including Antonio Gaudi, Joan Miro, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, and cellist Pablo Casals. Experience the vibrancy of their art in the streets, museums and concert halls. Or head out to the world-famous monastery of Montserrat, towering from the cliffs in the foothills of the Pyrenees.

Visit the beautiful Baroque palace of Schloss Charlottenburg, the grand boulevard of Unter den Linden, the fabulous Pergamon-Museum and the famed urban center of Potsdamer Platz.

Cobh, Ireland
This quaint, hilly town is home to one of the most impressive cathedrals in all of Ireland, with a 2,468-pipe organ and 47 glorious bells.

Copenhagen, Denmark
Hans Christian Andersen's wistful Little Mermaid greets all who sail into Copenhagen’s historic harbor. Visit the royal residence at Amalienborg, the Christianborg Palace and Rosenborg Castle, where the crown jewels are kept. Shop along the traffic-free Stroget. And tonight, perhaps visit Tivoli Gardens and watch fireworks light up the sky in the world's first amusement park.

Florence, Italy
The Renaissance treasures of Florence belong to the world. Don't miss the Duomo's magnificent baptistery doors, and the Uffizi Gallery's collection of artistic masterworks. Nearby is Siena, showplace of Italian Gothic; and Pisa, with its famous Leaning Tower.

This tiny British colony off the southernmost tip of Spain offers several points of interest, including Europa Point, Trafalgar Cemetery and the Gibraltar Museum.

Helsinki, Finland
Finland’s capital retains its small-town feel and offers many sights, including Kauppatori – Helsinki’s lively fish market – the quirky Kaisma Museum of Contemporary Art and the Korkeassaari Zoo.

Lisbon, Portugal
Sprawled over seven hills, Lisbon is a series of up-and-down journeys of discovery. Look for the cobbled streets and narrow alleys in the medieval Alfama, the grand Baroque monuments of Baixa and the ancient Jeronimos Monastery.

Newport, Rhode Island
Welcome to the coastal town once known as the summer playground for such names as the Astors and Vanderbilts. Stroll the Cliff Walk to get a sense of Newport’s famed oceanfront mansions.

Everyone loves New York, and there are a million reasons why. Here are but a few: the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim Museum, Times Square, Broadway, 5th Avenue and Central Park.

St. Petersburg, Russia
Peter the Great's sparkling "Window on Europe" was built to showcase the enormous wealth of the czars: the Summer Palace, the Peter and Paul Fortress - and the rooms of the Hermitage, which house one of the world's greatest collection of art. Attend the ballet or a folkloric show during your overnight stay.

Stockholm, Sweden
The nickname, “Venice of the North,” hardly does justice to Stockholm's uniquely beautiful natural setting. Lovely islands are laced by an intricate system of waterways and bridges, strung between a freshwater lake and the sea. Gabled houses lean out over narrow alleys in the old town, while just blocks away a magnificent 17th-century palace overlooks the wide harbor.
