reykjavik, iceland

Departure: 21:00

Reykjavik is not your typical capital city, it has no magnificent buildings, or a historic city centre or grand monuments, this city is much more than that. Iceland’s capital is different, full of life and very close to nature. Its location, at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, between two fjords and surrounded by a lunar volcanic framework, makes the city, whose name literally means Bay of Smokes, incomparably special. The world’s northernmost capital is the perfect place for outdoor and wildlife enthusiasts. Surrounded by sea, whale watching is one of the most popular tourist activities. The city has plenty of open spaces: parks, pedestrian areas, a lake situated next to the city hall and Nauthólsvik geothermal beach just 15 min away from the city centre. Throughout the city there are 7 municipal geothermal pools where locals go to socialise and relax after work. Other activities like cycling, hiking, horse riding, sailing and fishing can all be enjoyed on the doorsteps of the capital. Aside from all its natural wonders, Reykjavik always has something to offer. It is a cosmopolitan and dynamic city full of museums, art galleries and cosy coffee shops. Its nightlife is exciting and outrageous, during a night out, it seems locals are making up for the prohibition on beer that was in force till 1989 and nightspots tend to stay open until the early hours of the morning. During the day, the capital is a much more relaxed place, with its neat colourful houses, rubbish-free streets and an easygoing pace of life. Reykjavik is considered one of the cleanest, greenest and safest cities in the world. Getting lost in this city is almost impossible: Hallgrímskirkja church and Öskjuhlíð hill are visible from most places in the city centre and are essential landmarks for orientation. Reykjavik is dynamic, creative, modern, cosy and very special. Its peculiar personality and magnetic surroundings will make you agree that there’s no better city in the world.

Seyðisfjörður is a town in the Eastern Region of Iceland at the innermost point of the fjord of the same name. The town is located in the municipality of Múlaþing.

Seyðisfjörður is surrounded by mountains with the most prominent Mt. Bjólfur to the west (1085 m) and Strandartindur (1010 m) to the east. The fjord itself is accessible on each side from the town, by following the main road that leads through the town. Further out the fjord is fairly remote but rich with natural interests including puffin colonies and ruins of former activity such as nearby Vestdalseyri, from where the local church was transported.

Dublin has been the backdrop for many novels and it's no surprise given its written tradition dates back to 800 A.D. with The Book of Kells, which is now on display at Trinity College, Ireland's oldest university. The city is the birthplace of many literary figures such as Joyce, Beckett, Yeats, Shawn and Wilde to name but a few. The city's Georgian elegance blends seamlessly with the medieval and modern architecture that gives Dublin its unique character. One can't deny that Dublin is a city of culture; the UNESCO designated Ireland's capital as the city of literature in 2010. Culture enthusiasts are also spoilt for choice when it comes to museums and galleries. From the National Museum of Ireland and the National Library to the National Gallery and the charming Little Museum of Dublin housing the lectern that US president JFK used to address the National Parliament in 1963, there is plenty to take in. Not to forget of course the magnificent Dublin Castle dating back to the 13th century. Aside from its splendid riches, the best thing about this city is its people. Dubliners are friendly, warm, surprisingly outgoing and witty, even more so after a few pints of Guinness. In its over 1000 pubs one makes friends easily. It should be compulsory for tourists to spend some time in a pub as it is one of the most memorable experiences of a visit to Ireland. Dublin is also a young city, it has one of the youngest populations in Europe, around half of its inhabitants are believed to be under the age of 25. This fact has made the city vibrant, dynamic, energetic and ambitious. Dublin is brimming with trendy bars, sophisticated restaurants and lively clubs, the epicentre being the buzzing Temple Bar area. Live music is a religion in Ireland and Dublin is its mecca. The city's live music scene is superb and has given the world a number of global musical superstars from U2 and Westlife to The Script and Sinead O’Connor. Everyone is welcome in this now multicultural city, but be warned, Dublin, like its people, is so charismatic and infectious that you may never want to leave.

Day 11

liverpool, england

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 21:00

It's hard to bring up Liverpool without a thought of the Beatles. This band is still a source of pride for the Scousers, but that shouldn't eclipse the other attractions in this city on England's west coast. Its undeniable cultural vitality today is evident in the restoration and repurposing of its industrial heritage, the transformation of the Albert Dock into a cultural and leisure hub, the opening of the Tate Gallery or the creation of the Garden Festival have made Liverpool one of the most lively cities in the country. Without question, Albert Dock is the main sight in Liverpool. A series of sturdy brick warehouses encircle a basin. A World Heritage site, the Albert Dock is home to the award-winning Tate Liverpool, the Merseyside Maritime Museum and the striking International Slavery Museum. With so much to see and do, take a breather in one of the many bars, cafes and restaurants dotted around the dock. And then there's the Beatles. There are many spots around the city that honour this legendary band, museums, bars, shops, hotels and cafeterias themed around the band’s history draw many music pilgrims. All these Beatles sites share the limelight with another symbol of the city: The Metropolitan Cathedral, the largest cathedral in the UK, also draws many tourists due to its unique architecture. Of course, you can't discuss Liverpool without bringing up football. Here, at Anfield stadium, home of Liverpool F.C, visitors will learn everything there is to know about this great club. Around the stadium there are a few pubs for pre-match pints and to meet the team’s passionate supporters first-hand. Now, that's the real Liverpool experience.

Day 15

london (tower bridge),uk

Arrival: 06:00

Of all the European capitals, London resonates most profoundly in the minds of travellers. We soak up London before we even realise it exists and when we finally approach the city, it doesn't let us down. There are the red double-deckers, the bobbies and stoic guards at Buckingham, Westminster Abbey, and the chimes of Big Ben, sounding familiar, as we've heard them before. We see these things with a sense of satisfaction. Yet there's plenty to surprise. London isn't quaint. London isn't a museum, though you could spend all your time hopping from one to the next. It's a bustling, urban sprawl, with traffic jams, shops, and a remarkable international population. Visit the many monuments with nearly a millennium's worth of history, from Chaucer's grave to the pub where the captain of the Mayflower had a pint to Piccadilly Circus, one of London’s most snapped sights. But don’t overlook modern London, with its intensely active theatres, international cuisine, political protests, the latest in music and fashion, punks and peers, and everyone in between. In 1777, writer Samuel Johnson said when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, and the phrase still rings true. There's something different to experience every day in London.
