Some tourist might snub this small city on the Baltic coast in favor of some of the larger cities. Nevertheless, Gdansk is the capital of both the Pomeranian Voivodeship and of the country’s principal seaport Kashubia. It’s picturesque, olden cobblestone streets and the popular promenade of Sopot make for a perfect winter walk. Make sure to check out such other sites as the Gdansk Zoo, Abbot’s Palace and the lighthouse in Nowy Port and then enjoy some hot gluhwein.
This small village in Flmsdalen is located in Sogn og Fjordane county. It has been a popular but not overly famous tourist destination since the late 1800s. The less than 400 inhabitants play host to nearly 450,000 visitors yearly. If you enjoy train travel, then hop aboard Europe’s historic Flm Line that actually climbs the mountains to carry you into Flm. The journey is reported to be a great way to put people in a festive mood.
