Hamburg
Hamburg is Germany's second largest city, Europe's third-busiest port and an increasingly popular destination for tourists. Situated on the banks of the Elbe River, Hamburg has drawn casual comparisons as the Venice of Germany, a reputation enhanced by a network of canals and two large lakes near the city centre. The city was strategically important as a port and is still imbued with a strong maritime tradition. Hamburg is also a delight for music buffs, being the birthplace of famous 19th century composers Brahms and Mendelssohn. The city was also home to the Beatles in their formative years, building their reputation and earning their first recording.
Hamburg is today a distinctive mix of old brick buildings, modern glass facades and baroque churches. Nowhere is this more evident than the astonishing new Elbphilharmonie concert hall, its glass edifice perched atop an old brick warehouse. Visitors can take a free trip to the viewing deck of the building for views out over the harbour and Speicherstadt, the largest warehouse district in the world where the buildings are built on foundations of timber. Every Sunday morning since 1703, trade has sprung up at Hamburg's traditional fish market along the harbour, where tourists can sample the sights, sounds and tastes of local produce.
The main street running through the party district of St Pauli is called Grosse Freiheit (Great Freedom), and this is exactly what awaits the intrepid explorer. The city also hosts numerous music festivals throughout the year, spanning rock to jazz. For those whose tastes are more culturally refined, Hamburg has a number of museums dedicated to history, art, communications, ethnology and even spices. Lastly, Hamburg is the gateway to the seaside and spa resorts of the Baltic and North Sea coastline.
Southampton
Cork
Cork is situated on an estuary that opens onto the Atlantic Ocean. The Republic of Ireland's second largest city has been likened to Dublin without the traffic. it is crammed with cosy pubs and cultural attractions, and is a charming and popular city to add to the itinerary.
There is a great rivalry between Cork and Dublin, and the majority of Cork's residents see themselves as distinctly different from the rest of Ireland. Cork is vibrant and cheerful, with music, theatre and film all playing a major role in city life. World-renowned annual festivals add to the lively atmosphere, and in 2005 it was named the European Capital of Culture.
Cork is also the gastronomic capital of Ireland, with the widest variety of top-class restaurants in the country. Nearby Kinsale, also known for its host of award-winning pubs and restaurants, hosts the annual Gourmet Festival.
County Cork is located in the southwest, and it is the largest county in Ireland. It's noted for its maritime identity and impressive coastal scenery as well as being the site of Ireland's most famous attraction, the Blarney Stone. The city is a major seaport and is built around the waterways of the River Lee, connected by numerous bridges. Cork harbour is one of the largest natural harbours in the world.
Belfast
The fortunes of Belfast have risen and fallen dramatically over time: it began as a Bronze Age settlement; grew hugely in power as well as size during the Industrial Revolution; suffered extensive World War II bombings; and has famously been a hotspot in the massive civil conflict which has split Ireland. Today, the capital of Northern Ireland is a thriving city that has regained some of its old charm and industry, and has begun to lure a stream of curious travellers. City breaks in Belfast are becoming increasingly popular, with a variety of low-cost European carriers offering cheap flights to Northern Ireland's capital.
Belfast is situated near the mouth of the River Lagan, and blossomed in the 17th century with an influx of English and Scottish settlers. The port city grew in prominence during the Industrial Revolution, with booming linen, rope-making, and shipbuilding industries. The ill-fated Titanic was built here in the Harland and Wolff shipyards, and today Belfast still boasts the world's biggest dry dock, as well as a restored Waterfront Complex that houses chic restaurants, shops, and ubiquitous Irish pubs.
Much of the city's architectural heritage was destroyed during repeated bombings in World War II, as well as during The Troubles - a period of civil conflict between Roman Catholic nationalists and Protestant unionists that raged from 1969 until the late 1990s. Several exquisite Victorian and Edwardian buildings still remain and have been filled with trendy bars, boutiques, galleries, museums, and restaurants in an attempt to regenerate the city's image. Evidence of The Troubles can still be seen in the many murals that line Falls Road and Shankill Road, and the Europa Hotel has become famous as one of the most-bombed buildings in Europe, having being targeted no less than 33 times.
Belfast is often overlooked as a tourist destination, but its fascinating history, ongoing struggles, numerous attractions, and, above all, the warmth and acerbic wit of its inhabitants, make it an interesting stop on any tour of the United Kingdom. It also serves as an excellent base from which to explore the many natural wonders of Northern Ireland.
Greenock
Historically, Greenock was a major port and shipbuilding town, playing a crucial role in Scotland's industrial past. Today, remnants of its maritime heritage can still be seen, with some of the old shipyards and piers preserved as historical landmarks.
One of the standout features of Greenock is its picturesque waterfront, which offers stunning views of the Clyde Estuary. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the Esplanade, lined with impressive Victorian buildings and charming cafes. The Esplanade is also home to some significant historical monuments, including the popular Custom House, a grand neoclassical building, and the Old Bank Building with its beautiful clock tower.
For those interested in the town's maritime history, a visit to the Custom House Museum is a must. Here, you can delve into the fascinating past of Greenock, learning about its shipbuilding industry, the history of the Clyde River, and the town's connections to the infamous RMS Titanic.
Greenock is also well-known for its lush green spaces and gardens. One of the most popular outdoor spots is the beautiful Lyle Hill, located on the east end of the town. From the top of Lyle Hill, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Greenock, the surrounding countryside, and even the nearby peaks of the stunning Argyll Hills.
Nature enthusiasts will be thrilled to explore nearby Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park, only a short drive away from Greenock. This vast natural reserve offers a range of outdoor activities, such as hiking, cycling, bird watching, and even water sports on Castle Semple Loch.
Food lovers will find plenty to delight their taste buds in Greenock. The town boasts a variety of eateries, ranging from charming cafes serving traditional Scottish fare to international cuisines. Be sure to try some local delicacies like haggis, smoked salmon, and Scotch whisky, which are all part of Greenock's rich culinary tradition.
Greenock's central location also makes it an ideal base for exploring the wider region. Within a short drive, visitors can reach nearby attractions such as the vibrant city of Glasgow, with its world-class museums, shopping districts, and lively music scene. Additionally, the stunning Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, with its breathtaking landscapes and opportunities for outdoor adventures, are easily accessible from Greenock.
In terms of transportation, Greenock is well-connected to the rest of Scotland. The town has a train station with frequent services to Glasgow and other major cities in Scotland. There are also bus services that connect Greenock to the surrounding areas, making it easy to explore the region by public transport.
In conclusion, Greenock offers a delightful blend of history, natural beauty, and a vibrant waterfront. Whether you're interested in the town's maritime history, exploring its lush green spaces, or using it as a base to explore the wider region, Greenock has something to offer every traveler.
Liverpool
Whether they take the ferry cross the Mersey or a stroll down Penny Lane, most visitors will find it difficult to explore Liverpool without a song on their lips. From the Twin Cathedrals with their striking views over the city to the historical, Grade 1-listed Albert Dock and its Beatles museum, there's certainly plenty to see and do in Liverpool. Famous for football, music and shipping, Liverpool has steadily increased in popularity with tourists over the last decade.
An important maritime centre and industrial port, Liverpool was one of the great cities of the United Kingdom during the Industrial Revolution, and much of its wealth came from its dominance in the shipping of textiles, cotton, sugar, and slaves.
The city was severely bombed in World War II and has struggled to get back on its feet, experiencing alternating waves of prosperity and depression. The 1960s saw the explosion of the Beatles and pop music, while the 1990s saw an attempt to regenerate the urban centre.
Liverpool's waterfront is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the city has achieved World Heritage Status, joining Edinburgh and Bath as the only UK cities to carry the honour. Millions of pounds were poured into the development of the city when Liverpool was announced as the European Capital of Culture for 2008, including the £920 million Paradise Street development in the city centre.
Falmouth
The town's nautical heritage is central to its identity, with a rich seafaring tradition that dates back to the Tudor period. Henry VIII built Pendennis Castle, which, along with its sister castle across the estuary, St. Mawes, was designed to protect England from invasion. Today, Pendennis Castle is a popular tourist attraction, offering panoramic views of the surrounding area and insight into the town's military history.
Falmouth's deep harbor and docks have played a critical role in its development, facilitating trade and enabling the town to thrive as a commercial port. The docks remain active, accommodating everything from large container ships to luxury cruise liners and functioning as a key repair and maintenance hub for vessels. The National Maritime Museum Cornwall, located on the town's waterfront, is another significant draw for visitors interested in the maritime history of the area. The museum's interactive exhibits allow visitors to delve into the world of small boats, the influence of the sea on global culture, and Cornwall's particular maritime history.
In terms of cultural offerings, Falmouth is home to a thriving arts scene. A number of galleries showcase the work of local artists and photographers, and the town regularly hosts festivals and events, such as the Falmouth Week regatta, which features sailing races, live music, and entertainment for families. The town is also home to Falmouth University, a specialized creative institution that enriches the community with a youthful and artistic vibe.
The natural environment around Falmouth is equally appealing, with many stunning gardens and public spaces. The nearby subtropical valley garden at Glendurgan and the historic Trebah Garden are both internationally recognized for their plant collections, lush landscapes, and peaceful environments. Additionally, Falmouth's beaches, such as Gyllyngvase, Swanpool, and Maenporth, are popular spots for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports. Visitors and locals alike enjoy coastal walks along the South West Coast Path that offer breathtaking sea views and encounters with Cornwall's rugged coastline.
The town center is a blend of independent boutiques, quaint shops, and national retailers, interspersed with an array of places to eat and drink. Noted for its fresh seafood, Falmouth has a variety of restaurants and cozy pubs serving up both traditional Cornish fare and international cuisine.
Moreover, the town has an active community, with events and workshops catering to diverse interests, from maritime activities and environmental conservation to the arts and local history. This sense of community is palpable in the town's commitment to sustainability and innovation in maritime industries.
Overall, Falmouth is a town that skillfully combines its historic charm with a forward-thinking attitude, making it a delightful destination for those seeking cultural richness, maritime adventure, and the natural beauty of the Cornish coast.

Belfast
The fortunes of Belfast have risen and fallen dramatically over time: it began as a Bronze Age settlement; grew hugely in power as well as size during the Industrial Revolution; suffered extensive World War II bombings; and has famously been a hotspot in the massive civil conflict which has split Ireland. Today, the capital of Northern Ireland is a thriving city that has regained some of its old charm and industry, and has begun to lure a stream of curious travellers. City breaks in Belfast are becoming increasingly popular, with a variety of low-cost European carriers offering cheap flights to Northern Ireland's capital.
Belfast is situated near the mouth of the River Lagan, and blossomed in the 17th century with an influx of English and Scottish settlers. The port city grew in prominence during the Industrial Revolution, with booming linen, rope-making, and shipbuilding industries. The ill-fated Titanic was built here in the Harland and Wolff shipyards, and today Belfast still boasts the world's biggest dry dock, as well as a restored Waterfront Complex that houses chic restaurants, shops, and ubiquitous Irish pubs.
Much of the city's architectural heritage was destroyed during repeated bombings in World War II, as well as during The Troubles - a period of civil conflict between Roman Catholic nationalists and Protestant unionists that raged from 1969 until the late 1990s. Several exquisite Victorian and Edwardian buildings still remain and have been filled with trendy bars, boutiques, galleries, museums, and restaurants in an attempt to regenerate the city's image. Evidence of The Troubles can still be seen in the many murals that line Falls Road and Shankill Road, and the Europa Hotel has become famous as one of the most-bombed buildings in Europe, having being targeted no less than 33 times.
Belfast is often overlooked as a tourist destination, but its fascinating history, ongoing struggles, numerous attractions, and, above all, the warmth and acerbic wit of its inhabitants, make it an interesting stop on any tour of the United Kingdom. It also serves as an excellent base from which to explore the many natural wonders of Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland
Once the ancient kingdom of Ulster, Northern Ireland has been home to Gaelic kings, ancient Irish clans, and seafaring Vikings. It is the land of St Patrick and the giant Finn McCool, and is steeped in the myths and legends of a mysterious and heroic past. Northern Ireland's appeal encompasses beautiful scenery, historic forts and castles, and a rich legacy of Celtic Christianity, as well as the Ulster people themselves who are welcoming and genuine, with a lively sense of humour. A major draw is the small size of the country - its sights are all just a short, scenic drive from each other along mostly rural roads whose only traffic jams are caused by flocks of sheep and cattle crossings.
Cork
Cork is situated on an estuary that opens onto the Atlantic Ocean. The Republic of Ireland's second largest city has been likened to Dublin without the traffic. it is crammed with cosy pubs and cultural attractions, and is a charming and popular city to add to the itinerary.
There is a great rivalry between Cork and Dublin, and the majority of Cork's residents see themselves as distinctly different from the rest of Ireland. Cork is vibrant and cheerful, with music, theatre and film all playing a major role in city life. World-renowned annual festivals add to the lively atmosphere, and in 2005 it was named the European Capital of Culture.
Cork is also the gastronomic capital of Ireland, with the widest variety of top-class restaurants in the country. Nearby Kinsale, also known for its host of award-winning pubs and restaurants, hosts the annual Gourmet Festival.
County Cork is located in the southwest, and it is the largest county in Ireland. It's noted for its maritime identity and impressive coastal scenery as well as being the site of Ireland's most famous attraction, the Blarney Stone. The city is a major seaport and is built around the waterways of the River Lee, connected by numerous bridges. Cork harbour is one of the largest natural harbours in the world.
Falmouth
The town's nautical heritage is central to its identity, with a rich seafaring tradition that dates back to the Tudor period. Henry VIII built Pendennis Castle, which, along with its sister castle across the estuary, St. Mawes, was designed to protect England from invasion. Today, Pendennis Castle is a popular tourist attraction, offering panoramic views of the surrounding area and insight into the town's military history.
Falmouth's deep harbor and docks have played a critical role in its development, facilitating trade and enabling the town to thrive as a commercial port. The docks remain active, accommodating everything from large container ships to luxury cruise liners and functioning as a key repair and maintenance hub for vessels. The National Maritime Museum Cornwall, located on the town's waterfront, is another significant draw for visitors interested in the maritime history of the area. The museum's interactive exhibits allow visitors to delve into the world of small boats, the influence of the sea on global culture, and Cornwall's particular maritime history.
In terms of cultural offerings, Falmouth is home to a thriving arts scene. A number of galleries showcase the work of local artists and photographers, and the town regularly hosts festivals and events, such as the Falmouth Week regatta, which features sailing races, live music, and entertainment for families. The town is also home to Falmouth University, a specialized creative institution that enriches the community with a youthful and artistic vibe.
The natural environment around Falmouth is equally appealing, with many stunning gardens and public spaces. The nearby subtropical valley garden at Glendurgan and the historic Trebah Garden are both internationally recognized for their plant collections, lush landscapes, and peaceful environments. Additionally, Falmouth's beaches, such as Gyllyngvase, Swanpool, and Maenporth, are popular spots for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports. Visitors and locals alike enjoy coastal walks along the South West Coast Path that offer breathtaking sea views and encounters with Cornwall's rugged coastline.
The town center is a blend of independent boutiques, quaint shops, and national retailers, interspersed with an array of places to eat and drink. Noted for its fresh seafood, Falmouth has a variety of restaurants and cozy pubs serving up both traditional Cornish fare and international cuisine.
Moreover, the town has an active community, with events and workshops catering to diverse interests, from maritime activities and environmental conservation to the arts and local history. This sense of community is palpable in the town's commitment to sustainability and innovation in maritime industries.
Overall, Falmouth is a town that skillfully combines its historic charm with a forward-thinking attitude, making it a delightful destination for those seeking cultural richness, maritime adventure, and the natural beauty of the Cornish coast.
Greenock
Historically, Greenock was a major port and shipbuilding town, playing a crucial role in Scotland's industrial past. Today, remnants of its maritime heritage can still be seen, with some of the old shipyards and piers preserved as historical landmarks.
One of the standout features of Greenock is its picturesque waterfront, which offers stunning views of the Clyde Estuary. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the Esplanade, lined with impressive Victorian buildings and charming cafes. The Esplanade is also home to some significant historical monuments, including the popular Custom House, a grand neoclassical building, and the Old Bank Building with its beautiful clock tower.
For those interested in the town's maritime history, a visit to the Custom House Museum is a must. Here, you can delve into the fascinating past of Greenock, learning about its shipbuilding industry, the history of the Clyde River, and the town's connections to the infamous RMS Titanic.
Greenock is also well-known for its lush green spaces and gardens. One of the most popular outdoor spots is the beautiful Lyle Hill, located on the east end of the town. From the top of Lyle Hill, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Greenock, the surrounding countryside, and even the nearby peaks of the stunning Argyll Hills.
Nature enthusiasts will be thrilled to explore nearby Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park, only a short drive away from Greenock. This vast natural reserve offers a range of outdoor activities, such as hiking, cycling, bird watching, and even water sports on Castle Semple Loch.
Food lovers will find plenty to delight their taste buds in Greenock. The town boasts a variety of eateries, ranging from charming cafes serving traditional Scottish fare to international cuisines. Be sure to try some local delicacies like haggis, smoked salmon, and Scotch whisky, which are all part of Greenock's rich culinary tradition.
Greenock's central location also makes it an ideal base for exploring the wider region. Within a short drive, visitors can reach nearby attractions such as the vibrant city of Glasgow, with its world-class museums, shopping districts, and lively music scene. Additionally, the stunning Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, with its breathtaking landscapes and opportunities for outdoor adventures, are easily accessible from Greenock.
In terms of transportation, Greenock is well-connected to the rest of Scotland. The town has a train station with frequent services to Glasgow and other major cities in Scotland. There are also bus services that connect Greenock to the surrounding areas, making it easy to explore the region by public transport.
In conclusion, Greenock offers a delightful blend of history, natural beauty, and a vibrant waterfront. Whether you're interested in the town's maritime history, exploring its lush green spaces, or using it as a base to explore the wider region, Greenock has something to offer every traveler.
Scotland
Scotland is a wild and untamed country, stretching from rolling farmlands in the south and east to dramatic highlands and islands in the west, where the craggy coastline is honeycombed with beautiful beaches and rises up to rugged mountains divided only by shimmering lochs and deep rivers. This ancient land has a brutal, interesting history and is studded with ancient castles and strongholds.
Hamburg
Hamburg is Germany's second largest city, Europe's third-busiest port and an increasingly popular destination for tourists. Situated on the banks of the Elbe River, Hamburg has drawn casual comparisons as the Venice of Germany, a reputation enhanced by a network of canals and two large lakes near the city centre. The city was strategically important as a port and is still imbued with a strong maritime tradition. Hamburg is also a delight for music buffs, being the birthplace of famous 19th century composers Brahms and Mendelssohn. The city was also home to the Beatles in their formative years, building their reputation and earning their first recording.
Hamburg is today a distinctive mix of old brick buildings, modern glass facades and baroque churches. Nowhere is this more evident than the astonishing new Elbphilharmonie concert hall, its glass edifice perched atop an old brick warehouse. Visitors can take a free trip to the viewing deck of the building for views out over the harbour and Speicherstadt, the largest warehouse district in the world where the buildings are built on foundations of timber. Every Sunday morning since 1703, trade has sprung up at Hamburg's traditional fish market along the harbour, where tourists can sample the sights, sounds and tastes of local produce.
The main street running through the party district of St Pauli is called Grosse Freiheit (Great Freedom), and this is exactly what awaits the intrepid explorer. The city also hosts numerous music festivals throughout the year, spanning rock to jazz. For those whose tastes are more culturally refined, Hamburg has a number of museums dedicated to history, art, communications, ethnology and even spices. Lastly, Hamburg is the gateway to the seaside and spa resorts of the Baltic and North Sea coastline.
Liverpool
Whether they take the ferry cross the Mersey or a stroll down Penny Lane, most visitors will find it difficult to explore Liverpool without a song on their lips. From the Twin Cathedrals with their striking views over the city to the historical, Grade 1-listed Albert Dock and its Beatles museum, there's certainly plenty to see and do in Liverpool. Famous for football, music and shipping, Liverpool has steadily increased in popularity with tourists over the last decade.
An important maritime centre and industrial port, Liverpool was one of the great cities of the United Kingdom during the Industrial Revolution, and much of its wealth came from its dominance in the shipping of textiles, cotton, sugar, and slaves.
The city was severely bombed in World War II and has struggled to get back on its feet, experiencing alternating waves of prosperity and depression. The 1960s saw the explosion of the Beatles and pop music, while the 1990s saw an attempt to regenerate the urban centre.
Liverpool's waterfront is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the city has achieved World Heritage Status, joining Edinburgh and Bath as the only UK cities to carry the honour. Millions of pounds were poured into the development of the city when Liverpool was announced as the European Capital of Culture for 2008, including the £920 million Paradise Street development in the city centre.
