Top Waterfront Cities
If the magic of the water draws you to a destination, then why not try one of these cities and see vibrant markets, breathtaking backdrops, stunning architecture and happening social scenes, in the hub of the city. Shy away from the obvious like Venice and Amsterdam, and try one of the cities less travelled for a fantastic trip.
Stockholm, Sweden – straddling fourteen little islands, Stockholm means you can visit the city crossing little bridges and walking along canals, seeing architecture framed by water. Named one of the EU's greenest cities in 2009, Stockholm exudes an air of cleanliness and eco friendly people.
Baltimore, USA – Baltimore went through a regeneration programme about a decade ago, and now the waterfront offers modern architecture, like glass fronted buildings and historic ships moored along the wharf. The boardwalk houses little shops and restaurants, and the activities engage visitors and locals alike.
Montreal, Canada – the historic Old Port still has a lot to offer the modern traveller. Once a destitute place due to the residents all leaving, the area has become the hub of the city. In winter you can ice-skate to the shops, as the weather turns the streets into a natural skating rink.
Port, Portugal – this city is like the Elmer the Elephant of cities; a patchwork cacophony of architectures, colours and styles. It carries this off effortlessly, and the city tumbles down the hill to meet the river at the bottom, where some gorgeous little boutiques and restaurants sit.
