Explore Essaouira on the Moroccan Coast
Essaouira is a port city on the western coast of Morocco. Originally called 'Mogador' until the 1960s, it is characterized as a late 18th century fortified town and therefore listed as a UNESCO World Heritage city. The abundance of blue fishing boats makes it quite obvious that this industry dominates the city. The abundant winds the city receives is perfect for windsurfing and kite surfing.
A day trip to the Swedish island of Marstrand
The island of Marstrand sits about an hour north of Gothenburg on the west coast of Sweden. The archipelago of Gothenburg is a sight to see but if you're feeling more ambitious, find your way to Marstrand where you can hike around the whole island, enjoy swedish dishes like skagenröra and kardemummabulle, while taking in views of Carlstens Fästning and Strandverket.
A Tour of Gothenburg: Sweden's 2nd Largest City
The port city of Gothenburg lies on Sweden's western coast, just south of Norway, and north of Denmark. As a great alternative to Stockholm, Gothenburg boasts much natural green space (Seminarieparken, Slottsskogen, Palm House/Horticultural Gardens) with excellent attractions (Liseberg, Haga), and great city views (Skansen Kronan, Röda Sten Konsthall, Stenpiren).

Ulriken, or you can admire the street art in addition to the Kode Art Museum.
