Le Havre

Le Havre is worth a visit, not only as a stopover on the way to Paris or other inland destinations, but also as one of the great examples of post-war planning. It is a strange and strangely fascinating city, listed by
Unesco as a World Heritage Site.
Wandering through the streets of the seaside town of Le Havre, one might think one had stumbled upon a forgotten outpost of the Eastern Bloc. Obliterated by World War II bombings, the city was completely rebuilt by the Belgian architect Auguste Perret and, what emerged from the ashes of old Le Havre, is a kind of love letter to concrete: endless rows of blocks of buildings, straight avenues stretching out from the central square, dominated by the 100 m high 'Stalinist Baroque' style cathedral, looks like something straight out of the pages of '1984'.

Rotterdam

Rotterdam has a booming energy, with an excellent nightlife, a multicultural community, a gritty arts scene and an offer of excellent museums.

Rotterdam, the Netherlands' 'second city', was heavily bombed during the Second World War and spent decades before reconstruction. You won't find the classic medieval Dutch architecture here – it was swept away along with the other debris and debris of war. In its place is an architectural aesthetic that is unique in Europe, a perpetually progressive approach to construction that is clearly a result of the city's post-war, postmodern philosophy. In fact, Rotterdam is known as a city of architecture. In the few square kilometers of the city center you have a complete overview of what the twentieth century produced in terms of modern architecture.

Oslo

Oslo, located in the south-eastern part of the country, is the capital and largest city of Norway. Oslo is a lively city that perfectly blends its rich history with modern urban development, making it a dynamic and attractive place to live and visit.

It was founded around 1040 by King Harald Hardrada and became the capital of the country in 1299 under King Håkon V. The city was partially destroyed by a fire in 1624 and its reconstruction began under the reign of King Christian IV. King Christian IV renamed the city Christiania. The original name, Oslo, was restored only in 1925. Oslo is known for its beautiful natural landscapes, including forests, hills and lakes. Thanks to its beautiful landscapes, it is possible to practice numerous outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing and canoeing.

These unique features make the city an ideal destination for nature lovers. The city is home to several world-renowned museums, including the Viking Ship Museum, the Munch Museum (dedicated to the works of Edvard Munch, famous for “The Scream”), and the National Gallery. Don't miss the opportunity to visit one of these museums and share your photos with your friends! Every year, Oslo hosts one of the most important cultural events, the Nobel Peace Prize, which is awarded annually in the city at the City Hall.

Stavanger

Stavanger is a Norwegian city located in the county of Rogaland, and it is a very ancient city. It seems that the first settlements took place about 10,000 years ago. It received city status in the 12th century, and in the same period, it became a bishop's seat, acquiring great importance from a religious point of view. It lost this role following the Protestant Reformation of 1536. Stavanger experienced the economic boom in the late 1960s: this area, in fact, became an important oil extraction base in the North Sea.
From a cultural point of view, Stavanger is a very active city: it was chosen, in fact, in 2008 as European Capital of Culture. Stavanger is a popular tourist destination thanks to the breathtaking landscapes that the city itself and the surrounding areas offer.
You cannot miss the Preikestolen, a rock 604 meters high from which you can enjoy a breathtaking view and which is visited every year by an ever-increasing number of tourists.
The city is very lively and full of attractions for leisure, including restaurants, clubs, and shops. The historic center is quite small and it is worth visiting on foot to fully enjoy the positive atmosphere that you breathe. Visiting Stavanger via a cruise in Northern Europe is one of the best ways to fully enjoy the landscape and to experience direct contact with nature.
