Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland, inhabited by about half a million people. The Old Town and New Town are jointly considered the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city is a home to many festivals and events and the entertainment options are aboundant. Visit the Royal Yacht Britannia to see how the English Queen used to sail, or hike up Arthur’s Seat, a hill whose summit provides a dramatic panorama of the Old Town.
Ports
Grimsby is a port town on the eastern coast of England. It’s not a quaint tourist town, but Windseekers can fill an entertaining agenda before moving on into the the North Sea. An hour south by bus is the cute market town of Louth, and there is Go-karting and indoor skydiving similarly close. The fishing industry does bring in fresh cod and haddock to the local chip shops, so try some proper Fish and Chips.
Bremerhaven is one of the most important German ports, playing a crucial role in Germany’s trade. The town was founded in 1827, but settlements in the vicinity were settled as early as the 12th century. The main attractions for tourists are found at the Havenwelten and include the German Emigration Center and the German Maritime Museum, featuring the Hansekogge, a vintage cog dating from 1380, excavated in Bremen in 1962, and the historical harbour with a number of museum ships.
