Bremerhaven, Germany

The major attraction in this thriving port is the National Maritime Museum, which displays ship models and artifacts; outside, visitors can view seven historic ships. The lively early-morning fish auction also draws a crowd. Excursions to beautiful Bremen, about 40 miles away, allow time to stroll Market Square with its street musicians, the gothic Rathaus and an 11th-century cathedral.
