New York City is one of the most famous cities in the world. As such, it should be seen over the course of days. If you just have a long layover there like me, you do what you can to see the sights. This is a guide to what to see in NYC including the Brooklyn Bridge, Ground Zero, Freedom Tower, Times Square, Central Park, Katz Delicatessen, and the viewpoint at SUMMITOne Vanderbilt Tower.

The island of Vágar is located within the Faroe Islands archipelago, which is owned by Denmark. The three largest villages are Miðvágur, Sandavágur and Sørvágur but the highlight of Vágar are its natural features: Tindhólmur and Drangarnir, the Múlafossur, Bøsdalafossur, and Skarðsáfossur waterfalls, Lake Sørvágsvatn, and the Trøllkonufingur and Dunnesdrangar Sea Stacks.

The island of Værøy is a part of the Lofoten archipelago in Nordland County, Norway. It is home to roughly 728 people and accessible only by ferry from Mostenes or Bødo. The viewpoint after hiking to Håen is one of the best in all of Lofoten. You can also hike at Nordlandsnuppen, Plantefeltet, and Værøyhornet. A day trip here is all you need to see the southern tip of the Lofoten Islands.

Sometimes when you plan a trip, you have to deal with a longer than normal layover in a different city. This can be a blessing! I have highlighted five such layovers you can build into your trip itinerary to get the most from your trip (KLM - Amsterdam, Emirates - Dubai, British Airways - London, Turkish Airlines - Istanbul, IcelandAir - Reykjavik).
