Kampa Island - Prague - Czech
Crossing over Charles Bridge from the Star? Mesto side, you'll see one of the best photo opportunities in the city: the twin towers of the bridge, framing an almost perfect view of the Church of St Nicholas and the Castle behind. Before continuing, however, take the flight of steps on the left, leading down to Na Kampe, the principal square of Kampa Island. Until 1770, it was known simply as Ostrov or 'island', which understandably led to confusion with the other islands of the Vltava. Kampa is an oasis of calm on even the most crowded August day. One of the loveliest parks in the city is located at its southern end. This was created in the nineteenth century when an egalitarian decision was made to join the gardens of three private palaces and throw them open to the public. While washerwomen once rinsed shirts on the banks (note the Chapel to St John of the Laundry near the southern end), today it's taken up by snoozing office workers and bongo-beating Eurohippies. The river and bridge views are as romantic as they come, while the chestnut trees make shady spots for reading and recharging. In spring the park is filled with pink blossom. Kampa Park the restaurant, one of Prague's classier and pricier eateries, is actually at the other end of the island, where the Certovka runs back into the river.

Kauppatori Market - Helsinki - Finland
Kauppatori is probably the best known of the market squares in Helsinki. Some flower vendors, but you can also buy vegetables, fresh and smoked fish, bread and cakes, souvenirs, and lots of other things there, as well as have a snack in one of the cafe tents, board a ferry to the Suomenlinna island-fortress or the zoo on Korkeasaari island, or start a Helsinki round trip by tram or boat. And by the way, the Presidential Palace is right across the street

Krenborg Castle - Copenhagen - Denmark
Behind the walls of Kronborg Casttle dwells the story of Hamlet - prince of Denmark. To many people this is as genuine and closely related to the castle as are the historical persons who actually have lived in Kronborg. But - alas - Hamlet is only alive as a character in the play by William Shakespeare. Numerous stagings of the play - on the castle and many other places - have kept the myth alive since the 17.th century. Hence is Kronborg known as Hamlets Castle, and Elsinore as Hamlets town throughout the world.
