When visiting Halifax at Nova scotia you should spend a few hours at the citadel, it is a really great way to explore the city history and learn about it more, many guides there will be happy to talk to you. every hour you can see the guards change and at noon there is a canon firing to tell the city it is exactly 12:00

 

 

When visiting Bavarian Germany it is worth to drive to the city of  Schwangau (near fussen which you probably going to visit anyway)  and take  a tour inside the  Neuschwanstein Castle.  This castle is truly amazing both from the inside but mainly from the outside.

The Anne Frank house, located at 263 Prinsengracht (although the entrance is at number 267), is a really interesting monument. The house is the place where Anne’s father, Otto’s,  businesses was and where they were hiding from the Nazi regime for  25 months (July 6, 1942 -September 3, 1944). It is very interesting to see the rooms and the hiding places where they have actually been.

Directions: Trams 13 and 17 from Central Station, get off at Westermarkt station.

This is a really interesting museum. nothing there but this huge well preserved viking ship which on 10 August 1628  set sail for the first time and sank right when leaving at the Stockholm harbor and was discovered in 1961.  As someone who doesn’t like museums so much I can defiantly say this one is interesting and well structured.

This is one of the most interesting national parks in Israel, just on the beach, so you can have an amazing view and really great breeze (which is really important in Israel) while visiting. The park itself is pretty small so only a few hours will do.
You will see the remaining of the Hellenistic period, Byzantine-period and also located at the park area some coffee shops and small art shops. The best hours for a visit are of course later in the afternoon with the sun setting right there (plus you will see a lot of couples  taking pictures there just before going to their wedding)
