At the foot of the Atomium, Mini-Europe allows you to have a whistle-stop tour around Europe in a few short hours.

On the waterfront, only a few minutes from Harpa sits the most famous sculpture in Iceland, the Sólfarið or the Sun Voyager. Made of steel and resembling a Viking ship — although this was not the artist's intention — the Sun Voyager is, according to its creator Jón Gunnar Árnason, an ode to the sun, a dreamboat symbolising the promise of undiscovered territory, the dream of hope, progress, and freedom. This is also one of the best spots for a picture in Reykjavík, with Mount Esja providing the perfect backdrop.

Housed in Stuttgart's Old Castle, the Landesmuseum Württemberg is the state's largest cultural history museum, with its origins tracing back to the 16th-century Kunstkammer of the Württemberg dukes. Officially founded in 1862 by King Wilhelm I, the museum's collections span over a million objects, covering archaeology, art, and cultural history from the Stone Age to the present day. Highlights include prehistoric artefacts, Roman relics, medieval art, the crown jewels of Württemberg, and one of the world's oldest preserved card games. The museum also features the 'Junges Schloss', a children's museum designed to make history accessible to younger visitors.
