Reykjavík is a capital with one foot in the wild. The Atlantic frames the city, volcanic mountains rise on the horizon, and geothermal water warms its pools. Start at Hallgrímskirkja, whose tower commands broad views, then walk down to the harbor and Harpa concert hall. Cafés, design shops, and museums make the compact center easy to explore on foot. Beyond town, geysers and waterfalls make a striking day trip; return for a soak in a neighborhood pool.
Grundarfjörður sits on the north shore of Iceland's Snæfellsnes peninsula, a fishing village beneath steep mountains. Its signature sight is Kirkjufell, a 463-metre peak shaped like an arrowhead. Walk or drive to Kirkjufellsfoss, where cascades frame the mountain. Further west, Snæfellsjökull glacier crowns a volcano and the national park around it. Weather changes quickly here, so bring warm, waterproof layers. Come for scale, silence and light.
Ísafjörður is the Westfjords’ principal town, set between a sheltered harbor and steep, often snow-streaked mountains. Walk its compact center to see colorful timber houses, then visit the Westfjords Heritage Museum in the historic harbor district. Its exhibits trace the fishing trade that shaped life along Iceland’s remote western coast. Beyond town, dramatic fjord scenery unfolds along winding roads. With a full day ashore, consider the drive to Dynjandi, one of the region’s most striking waterfalls.
Nanortalik, Greenland’s southernmost town, sits on an island where fjords, sea cliffs and steep mountains define the horizon. Its name means “place of polar bears,” and bears still roam the surrounding region. From the harbor, boat journeys reach dramatic Tasermiut Fjord, famed for its granite walls and remote wilderness. Visit the local museum for a glimpse of Greenlandic life, then watch for icebergs and seabirds along the coast.
Qaqortoq is southern Greenland’s largest town, set around a sheltered harbor beneath steep, bare hills. Colorful houses climb the slopes, while fishing boats give the waterfront its working rhythm. Follow the town’s Stone and Man carvings, then visit the museum for insight into Greenlandic life and Norse history. Boat trips can take you to nearby Norse ruins or Uunartoq’s natural hot springs.
At Newfoundland’s northern edge, Saint Anthony faces the Strait of Belle Isle, where icebergs drift south each spring. In season, whale-watching boats head offshore; coastal trails and the working harbour bring the region’s maritime life into view. Nearby, L’Anse aux Meadows preserves a Norse settlement recognized by UNESCO. Saint Anthony also traces Dr. Wilfred Grenfell’s medical work, which served Labrador and northern Newfoundland.
Gaspé sits at the eastern end of Quebec’s Gaspé Peninsula. It faces the Gulf of St. Lawrence, with fishing harbours and rugged shoreline close at hand. In 1534, Jacques Cartier met St. Lawrence Iroquoians here and raised a cross for France. Beyond town, Forillon National Park protects cliffs, forests and coastal trails, while whale-watching excursions explore the surrounding waters. At nearby Cap-des-Rosiers, Canada’s tallest lighthouse marks the peninsula’s northern shore.
Baie-Comeau stands on Quebec’s North Shore, overlooking the broad St. Lawrence estuary. Founded in the 1930s as a company town, it grew around a paper mill and the region’s abundant hydroelectric power. Explore its older streets, then venture inland toward the Manicouagan Reservoir, a vast landscape of water, forest and granite. Back at the shore, the river’s changing light invites a slower look.
Québec City is best explored on foot, where French-speaking Canada feels unmistakably distinct. Within the UNESCO-listed Historic District, stone walls, steep lanes and 17th-century façades tell the story of New France. Ride the funicular between Upper and Lower Town, then browse Petit-Champlain’s boutiques beside the St. Lawrence River. Allow time for the Plains of Abraham, where a pivotal 1759 battle changed the course of Canadian history. Come ashore ready to climb; the finest views reward a little effort.
Montréal is a city of French character and North American energy, best explored on foot. From the Old Port, cobbled streets lead to Old Montréal’s grand squares, cafés and Notre-Dame Basilica. Climb or drive up Mount Royal for a broad view of the skyline and the St. Lawrence River. Then follow the city’s appetite, from market produce and bagels to inventive French-Canadian cooking. Allow time for the museums and lively terraces; Montréal’s pleasures are close together, but never feel hurried.
