London is undoubtedly one of the world's greatest cities. With a population of nearly eight million, it is by far the largest city in Europe, spreading over an area of more than 620 square miles. In addition to numerous monuments from its past as a world empire, London is equally known for its pageantry and tradition. Though the city was heavily damaged during the Blitz of World War II, a surprising number of monuments were miraculously spared from destruction. Soon after the end of the war, England's capital began to prosper as never before. London has something for everyone - wide boulevards buzzing with excitement far into the night, quiet squares and explorable alleyways. Large expanses of greenery, such as Hyde Park, Green Park and St. James Park, are all within a few minutes' walk of the West End shops.The museums and galleries are as varied and rich as you will find anywhere. Monuments run the gamut from Roman ruins to sumptuous castles and opulent public buildings, representing the architecture of the triumphal British Empire. Many of these buildings were constructed in the 18th century and during the reign of Queen Victoria to reflect the city's status as the financial and administrative hub of a great empire. Today, London wears its 2,000 years of history with dignity. Alongside modern skyscrapers are remnants of the city's Roman wall. Norman London is evident in one of London's best-known landmarks, the Tower of London, whose origins date back to William the Conqueror.The city's oldest pub, a few medieval churches and the timbered Elizabethan façade of Staple Inn recall London before the Great Fire of 1666. Stately Georgian squares from the 18th century are preserved in the fashionable West End.

Falmouth is located on the colorful Cornish coastline in England's southwest corner and is best known for its romantic past of pirates and smugglers. The town boasts a superb natural deepwater harbor - the third largest in the world – and is a bustling commercial port which is strongly influenced by its maritime history. There is a wide range of amenities for the visitor including maritime attractions, beautiful sheltered beaches, quality restaurants, pubs, cafes and shops. Falmouth's linear sequence of main streets runs one block behind a matching sequence of waterfront quays and piers that border the great sweep of the estuary. Narrow alleyways link the bustling world of shops, cafes and fine restaurants with the equally busy waterfront, where small craft of all kinds come and go. Falmouth features a fine series of sheltered, sun trap beaches along the southern shores of Pendennis Point. The Gyllyngdune ornamental gardens and the popular Princess Pavilion Theatre are both well worth a visit.

Lying off Iceland’s southern coast, Heimaey is the largest and only inhabited island of the 15 Westman Islands, locally known as Vestmannaeyjar. Sparsely covered with vegetation, most of the islands are surrounded by cliffs that teem with a variety of birdlife from Europe and America, including the Icelandic puffin. Opportunities for bird watching are excellent. The once-popular practice of egg climbing has become increasingly rare, due to the danger in scaling the cliffs to gather eggs. The Westman Islands are all of volcanic origin. According to legend, their name was derived from some Irish slaves, called West Men because of their origin west of Scandinavia. They had fled to this Atlantic landfall to escape their Viking masters in the 9th century.

The fire, frost and water symbolized by the red, white and blue of Iceland's flag are manifested by the ice and snow of its glaciers, the hot mud pools, geysers and glowing lava flows in the country's volcanic regions. The island's settlement dates back to 874 when a Norwegian named Ingolf Arnarson arrived at present-day Reykjavik. In 930, the settlers formed a legislature, the Alting, which was the beginning of the Commonwealth of Iceland. From the 10th to the 14th centuries, Iceland developed a literary form, the Icelandic Saga, which spread throughout the Nordic culture and into the English and German languages. It was used to spin stories of the gods, record historic events and glorify heroes. As Iceland's capital and main center of the country's population, the city of Reykjavik is a fascinating blend of the traditional and modernism. Just as Iceland is a unique country – rugged and remote, yet technically advanced and enjoying Nordic standards of affluence – Reykjavik is a highly unusual capital city. It dominates the life of Iceland in almost every way. More than half of the country's total population of 270,000 is living in and around the capital, and the economy of the entire nation depends on Reykjavik. Nearly 60 percent of Iceland's imports are received and distributed, and 40 percent of the country's exports are loaded for shipment via the port of Reykjavik. It is also the headquarters of what is probably the world's most advanced seafood industry, which counts for Iceland's number one export.
