Stockholm

It is also a lively, modern city, famous for the production of elegant design, cutting-edge fashion and world-class nightclubs.

The old town, Gamla Stan, is a compact little labyrinth seemingly built for small, thin people. The red, orange, and vanilla stucco walls of the buildings that seem to curve in towards each other house countless souvenir shops and ice cream parlors.

Just south of Gamla Stan is another island-neighborhood, Södermalm, where hills high waterfront are embellished by beautiful residences and the main avenues are lined with bohemian shops, art galleries, and Clubs. On the other side of Gamla Stan is the main city center, a bustling metropolis where boutiques and restaurants enliven the cool Swedish evenings.

Skagen

Skagen is a Danish town located in the North Jutland region on the northernmost tip of the island of Vendsyssel-Thy. It is part of the municipality of Frederikshavn. In the vicinity of Skagen, frequented by tourists, there is Grenen, a strip of sand that extends to the north-east at the point where the two seas Skagerrak and Kattegat meet, generating turbulence that makes navigation difficult. For this reason, special signs sanction the ban on bathing. It is often possible to witness the characteristic clash of waves coming from opposite directions. The old Vippefyr lighthouse, was built in the fifteenth century and later destroyed. There is a reconstruction north of the city. In the seventeenth century it was replaced by the Hvidefyr (white lighthouse). In turn replaced by the taller Gråfyr (grey lighthouse) of 1850, still present. To the south of the city there is the Tilsandende Kirke, a church buried by the sand. Currently visible and visitable is only the bell tower. Further attractions are represented by the numerous museums and art galleries. Among the museums, we point out the Skagens Museum which exhibits the major works of the Skagen painters.
