Eidfjord

Alesund

Alesund is a seaport, known for its extraordinary collection of Art Nouveau architecture. Come here to see a huge variety of creative decorations on the fronts of the buildings. Climb the 418 steps to the top of Mount Aksla and you will be rewarded with an unforgettable view.

Ålesund is a natural starting point for an active holiday with a beautiful coastline and cliffs, deep valleys, fjords and spectacular mountains. It is also a great place for children, offering a series of exciting experiences for the whole family, from seeing the fish and penguins at the Atlanterhavsparken aquarium, to the exciting Barnas Lekeland Children's Playland, to travelling back in time at the open-air Sunnmøre Museum or the Nouveau Art Centre.

Bergen

Surrounded by seven hills and seven fjords, Bergen is a beautiful, charming city with beauty and entertainment for all tastes. With the bustling port of Vågen as its centrepiece, Bergen climbs up the hills with hundreds of timber-clad houses, while cable cars offer splendid views from above. Great museums, friendly people and a dynamic cultural life make Bergen a popular destination in recent times, also thanks to the surrounding natural beauty. The wonderful natural beauties of this region will leave you speechless. HardangerFjord, Sognefjord and Geirangerfjord are similar if we consider some aspects such as: steep walls of crystal- clear rock plummeting with sublime force directly into the sea, often decorated with waterfalls and small farms that blend harmoniously with the natural landscape.

Rotterdam

Rotterdam, the second largest city in Netherlands, was destroyed during World War II and it was rebuilt some decades after. Because of the war, classic medieval Dutch architecture was washed away along with the other rubble and debris of war. Despite destruction, as a result of the city's postwar, postmodern philosophy, the city has developed an architectural aesthetic that is unique in Europe.

In fact, Rotterdam is known as a city rich in history and architecture. In the few square kilometers of the city center, you have a comprehensive overview of what the 20th century produced in terms of modern architecture. Thanks to its position, the city has always been a meltingpot of people and it is still known as a multicultarl city.
