Thrilling shows, a magical atmosphere and truly excellent food and drink – all this and more await you on a visit to the GOP Varieté Theater in Überseestadt (the New Harbour District). Gasp in amazement and laugh with delight as you experience unforgettable moments in an ever-changing programme of shows staged by this international theatre ensemble.

Battell Park is one of Mishawaka’s oldest parks and a solid stop along the St. Joseph Riverwalk. The historic bandshell still hosts live music and theater performances, and the rock garden is a cool little spot to wander through.

Skudeneshavn is a pearl in the West. At the southernmost tip of Karmøy, where the lighthouses peer out over Skudefjord and the North Sea, lies the charming harbour and fishing village of Skudeneshavn. In the early nineteenth century, herring fishing led to rapid prosperity and the growth of the historically fascinating district called the Old Town.

Staten Island might be the city’s quietest borough, but it’s full of character and history. The free Staten Island Ferry runs all day and night, offering great views of the Statue of Liberty and lower Manhattan before docking in St. George, where 19th-century architecture meets local culture. Stop by the restored St. George Theatre, the National Lighthouse Museum, or the Staten Island Museum, which mixes natural history, art, and local exhibits. Green space is everywhere here. The Staten Island Greenbelt offers miles of trails and woodlands, and in summer, the island’s beaches are popular for kayaking and relaxing by the water. For a closer look at local history, visit the Alice Austen House, once home to one of America’s first female photographers, or explore Historic Richmond Town, a preserved village with buildings and artifacts that trace island life back to the 1600s. Staten Island also has a growing food scene, especially around St. George and Stapleton, where you’ll find local breweries and waterfront restaurants worth discovering.
