The picturesque village Niehove stands as a testament to historical ingenuity. Built on a terp, a man-made hill, to outsmart the advancing sea, its layout has remained unchanged for centuries. This former capital of Humsterland is a maze of narrow church paths and red brick houses, arranged in concentric circles around a central, 13th-century Romanesque-Gothic church. Once the only stone structure in Niehove, the church now houses a visitor centre, sharing the village's rich history. This protected site, with its unique street plan and tranquil charm, invites visitors to step back in time.

The grand, fairy-tale castle-like main building in Timrå was built in 1883–1885 as a summer residence for the timber magnate Fredrik Bünsow, who was one of Sweden's most powerful timber barons at the time. The architects were Isak Gustaf Clason and Fritz Eckert. Clason is known for designing the Nordic Museum and Hallwyl Palace in Stockholm. The beautiful castle (or Villa Merlo, as it is actually called) is now a cultural heritage site and houses Svenska Cellulosa's central archive. In the summer, you can take a guided tour to see the many rooms and halls that still retain their former glory. Even the garden alone is well worth a visit.

Taghazout, a quaint fishing village just north of Agadir, is a haven for surfers. The village is alive with the rhythm of traditional fishing, with blue boats dotting the shore. Local shops provide surf gear, while the streets are lined with cafes and stores selling local crafts.
