Amsterdam brims with iconic sights, and walking and cycling along the canals are not only top experiences, but are also the best ways to get around. The city is home to numerous notable museums, many of which are conveniently gathered on the Museumplein. You can view some of the world’s great paintings at the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum. More modern art and design are displayed at the Stedelijk Museum and new Moco Museum. The Anne Frank House, where you can visit the secret annex she and her family hid in during the Nazi occupation, is a moving experience. In the evening, peek into the Red Light District, one of Amsterdam’s most beautiful and historic neighborhoods, then head to a café for a local beer.

A staple of most-livable city lists, Copenhagen is surely also one of the most easiest and most enjoyable to visit. Saturday night fireworks at Tivoli Gardens, the amusement park opened in 1843, and the Little Mermaid, perched on her rock by the docks, are timeless attractions for guests of all ages, while the laid-back hippie commune of Christiana and the Viking Ship Museum, 35 minutes outside the city, are attractions you won’t find elsewhere. In the city’s kitchens, the creations of New Nordic chefs make Copenhagen’s restaurant scene one of the world’s hottest. <br /><br /><strong>Travel Tip:</strong> Lufthansa passengers departing from Copenhagen Airport’s Terminal 2 can take advantage of a range of shops offering the latest in Scandinavian fashion and design.
