Puerto Rico's second largest city, Ponce is called many things. Founded in 1692, it was named after Ponce de Leon's great grandson and now holds the titles of “Pearl of the South,” “Cradle of Liberty,” “Museum City” and “Ciudad Señorial,” which peg it as elegant, noble, fascinating and stately. By any name, this tropical beauty offers much to boast about. Neoclassical colonial architecture abounds. Museo de Arte de Ponce, Castillo Serrallés and Museo Casa Armstrong are excellent museums.
Stunning scenery, quintessential charm and great art define the small town of Kragerø on Norway’s southern coast boasts outsized appeal. Surrounded by freshwater lakes and a spectacular archipelago of more than 490 islands and skerries, it is a destination for boating, fishing, canoeing and swimming as well as cycling. Once an important seafaring community, Kragerø preserves that heritage in its inner harbor area, where the marina, promenades and piers, along with outdoor concerts and waterfront dining, create a lively ambience.
