About the destination: Kiel is the capital city of the German state of Schleswig-Holstein, located at the Baltic Sea at the end of the "Kieler Förde". The shores of the bay of Kiel are dotted with busy, well-sheltered seaside resorts such as Stein, Strande, Schilksee, Schönberger Strand, Laboe and Heikendorf. The northern part has also been hosting sailing regattas for over a century and every year in June thousands of sailing enthusiasts flock here from all over the world to take part in "Kiel Week". Kiel is well-known for a variety of international sailing events, including the annual Kiel Week at the end of June which is the biggest sailing event in the world. The town hall was built between 1907 and 1911, and is overlooked by a 106 m high tower. From the upper gallery one has a view over the entire harbour, as far as the Naval memorial in Laboe.

About the destination: Gothenburg is Sweden's second city and Scandinavia's largest port. Despite this, a great mix of city bustle and small town friendliness has made it famous as Sweden's friendliest city for years. In a nutshell, Gothenburg is a lively city with interesting sights and an unrivalled seaside atmosphere. Poseidon rules the city, the gigantic bronze sea god statue bares his muscles in the middle of Gotaplatsen, the city’s art centre, but his domain extends far beyond. Seafarers auction their catch weekday mornings at the Fiskekorka, meaning fish church. It is an indoor fish market which got its name from the building's resemblance to a Gothic church. Though Gothenburg is a bustling city, it can be pretty and restful, especially in the many parks. Slottsskogen has lakes, birds, and a zoo with Swedish animals. Just beyond are the famous Botanical Gardens, with collections from all around the world. Museums abound, but two are of special interest. The Röhsska Museum, the national museum of Swedish design and applied art and the Gothenburg Art Museum, housed in a magnificent building flanked by the theatre and concert hall, it features a world-class collection of Nordic art. Gothenburg's Cathedral, Domkyrkan, was built in 1815 on the ruins of two earlier churches which burnt down in 1721 and 1802. The neo-classical building is located at Vastra Hamngatan in the middle of the city centre. Gothenburg is not at all an industrial city as such but more a logistic centre. No grim environments or tall chimneys at all. Instead you have a huge amount of green areas, archipelago and loads of sport and culture. The bustle of crowds, the cosmopolitan restaurants, the cafes along the popular Avery, and the nearby western cost of Sweden make this city a humming one.

About the destination: Karlstad is situated half way between Oslo and Stockholm on the northern shore of Lake Vanern in the county of Varmland. Karlstad is known as the sun city of Sweden, the sun has become the symbol of the town and symbolizes the hospitality of the inhabitants and illustrates the warm-hearted attitude of Karlstad. The River Klaralven floats through the city before reaching the Lake Vanern. The old Stone Bridge, Sweden's longest stone arch bridge, spans across the eastern branch of the river. The large and airy market square, Storatorget is the heart of the city centre. There you can visit the Neoclassical Radhuset, the town hall, and the Peace Monument that commemorates the peaceful dissolution of the union between Sweden and Norway. Just east of the market square we find Karlstad Cathedral. You can't miss it as its tower is visible all over the central city. Inside you can admire the altar, made from Gotland limestone with a cross of Orrefors crystal, and the organ. Just beside Karlstad Cathedral is a memorial stone, raised in remembrance of the sailors from the county of Värmland who lost their lives at sea during the Second World War. Karlstad School Museum is located opposite the cathedral. The museum has a large collection of school objects, educational material from mid-19th century and school uniforms. One of the major tourist attractions in Karlstad is the Värmland Museum situated at the corner where the Klarälven River splits. There are a dozen permanent exhibits in the museum that will guide you through the history of Värmland. Sola i Kallsta, the sun in Karlstad, a popular local expression, refers to a nice and happy servant girl that lived in Karlstad in the 17th century. There is a sculpture of her placed outside the Stadshotellet and Bishop's Arms pub. Karlstad is nice, beautiful and friendly and the surrounding Värmland holds a treasure in nature: Tiveden National Park. There you will find swamps, glacial forests and paths along lakes that reflect the wonderful skies that really makes the trip here worthwhile
