will discover new perspectives them from famous tourist sites. in volcanic paradise why people are flocking to the nordic country of iceland. where you start off in the dutch capital of amsterdam a city that simply never gets boring now amsterdam is a perfect getaway for the weekend it boasts the unesco world heritage canal system a wealth of museums not to mention the parks restaurants and of course coffee shops and unlike many other capitals amsterdam is relatively small so you can reach pretty much everything on foot but if you want to do is the dutch do then you'd better get on a bike which is what we did to explore the city. dam is hands down europe's capital of bicycle riders it's home to an estimated nine hundred thousand bikes that's more than the population of the city center.

in two films in one of the world's first bicycle perking garage was built at the city's central rail station shaun cody has been offering individual sightseeing tours of the capital with his company joyride tours for the past seven years naturally by bike for meaning when the most interesting things about amsterdam isn't just the beautiful city but it's also the citizens that make up the city it's people from all over the world and it actually just beat out new york as having the most variety of nationalities in any city in the world it's also a very small city so i find it quite enjoyable it's only a one point six million with the suburbs maybe a hundred thousand the city center so you get this international city feel but you're in a very small liveable enjoyable city. and many of cody's tours start off it down square at the birthplace of amsterdam and the thirteenth century local fisherman

down to the river and settled in a village they called i'm staged. this square is also home to the seventeenth century royal palace recently this was not a royal palace this was the mayor's office in amsterdam and if you look at it that's why it's not an oppressive building if you compare it to her size or windsor castle it's not impressive at all but originally this was the largest civic building in europe and it celebrated the power of the republic. in the seventeenth century amsterdam rose to become a key center of international trade amassing unimagined whirls this is when the world famous can now ring area it was developed a small plant was drained using a system of one hundred sixty. five canals in concentric arcs today the urban ensemble is a human skull burled heritage site and the houses along the canals were commissioned

by wealthy merchants and many were calvinists which is why the houses are modest in design wealth was displayed in more subtle ways. this black house here is a good indication of that it's a very thorough house it's quite tall and if you look at the glass on it compared to the house right behind me the see it's got very large windows this was a way of showing the wealth of the old days. posts no fewer than forty four museums one is the bendigo museum it houses an election of two hundred works by the dutch artist. another must see is the fights museum the national museum of the netherlands it was already a traffic friendly building when it opened in eight hundred eighty five and today it could well be the only museum that you can ride a bike through. it holds works by dutch golden age masters like the mia and rembrandt. the russian is a was built around eighteen hundred and it's designed by

a german by the name of p.r. calipers and if you arrive in amsterdam by train and you see the central train station it's actually designed by the same architect actually so that's why they look very similar in design. one of amsterdam stop tourist destinations lies on the prince and cost the end frank house every day long lines form outside the museum in twenty sixteen it attracted almost one point three million visitors and this is where the thirteen year old jewish girl and frank went into hiding with their family during world war two to escape the nazis and where she wrote her world famous diary. a tour of the secret annex conveys the claustrophobic conditions of the hiding place the rooms are unfurnished but there's an exhibit of personal on. jacks that belonged to the people who hit here. on board by bike through amsterdam the netherlands are famous for their cheeses so the

next stop on our tour is one of the many cheese shops in the city because heinz trump has all the classics on offer among them gouda lemon taler and up and set up . the soil in the netherlands is very. you can it's very good for growing really fine dress so keeping cows is really a thing for the dutch to give a lot of milk of course for the meal to make the cheese we make a lot of cheese we eat a lot of cheese the dutch are an average the tallest people of the of the planet and that's the myth is that because the evil of cheese. showing cody's tour ends at a more recently installed landmark the giant i am struck him marketing logo is a popular photo op for visitors and one that captures the inclusive spirit of this open city. from the dutch capital to the german one berlin is a favorite destination for people of all ages because of its diversity and there is something for everyone here from world class museums arctic submissions and music

of every genre to the wealth of history that this city boasts and one of the most historical landmarks here is the brandenburg gate now it has stood tall for over two hundred years and if it could talk it would tell you about the time that berlin was a small walled city or about its vibrant years in the one nine hundred twenty s. or even the more darker periods of german history which followed now this famous mind you made not only has great historical significance it also connects the former east with the west so here's a closer look now at one of berlin's defining symbols. the brandenburg gate is the german capital is most important to land right in the heart of the. twenty metres high with a wing gauge on each side it's the culmination of the grand boulevards fourteen million people. the pressure kingsley please show him the second of this triumphal arch built in the late eighteenth century. which crowned by

a six metre tall quadriga four team of four horses pulling a chariot steered by victoria the roman goddess of victory when first created victoria was new but was later given the go and she brought peace to the city historian seato particularly if he has to sign for the structures message. different or not often i come to. the seven hundred eighty eight so a significant event in prussia and the second was able to conclude an important alliance with britain and the republic of the netherlands. in celebration here both as triumphal arch here and. hans modeled his early near classical design in sandstone on the entrance to the acropolis in after the sculptor you shadow was responsible for the quadriga and many of the gates other adornments. the

temperature in levy wrote a book about the brandenburg gate and points out some differences from the greek model. good behavior bad sign and i checked the fish for him asked his architect longhorn's to make the brandenburg gate as open as possible so that you could look through it to the to garden park and this long axis stretching to the western horizon. best is invested in hope it's fun to see you to see the difference clearly by comparing this picture of the almost starting marble architecture of the acropolis and the danger for one point perspective through the brandenburg gate. is assured. i pass pick t.v. and. all the brandenburg gate attracts visitors from all over the world. to. do just the magnificence of the building how tall it is carvings that are in each

individual pillar is quite spectacular i felt so tiny when you are in front of this a mass a bill day this is like my first time to europe and i have never been able to experience anything such as grand as this for almost four decades the brandenburg gate was a symbol of german division it lay stranded in the no man's land between east and west berlin only after the fall of the berlin wall in one thousand nine hundred nine did it become accessible to all under symbol of german unity if you'll use impressions leave you craving a moment of quiet contemplation come to the room of silence in the neighboring. this is still the silence here is fascinating and coming we can engage in such a good burger outside in the room of silence you will gain composure and your inner

center in the room to think and if you'd like to take for granted home with you you can get a mini version of it in the souvenir shops as a memento of a very special place. tourist hot spots like the brandenburg gate is where you might find british photographer all over curtis but don't expect to see him taking a typical shot of this landmark that's because curtis likes to capture the atmosphere surrounding the area and how many people wouldn't even recognize the famous landmarks in his pictures because the focus is on something completely different but changing the perspective on things is definitely interesting. this is buckingham palace as we know it the official london residence of the british monarch and a tourist attraction it's been photographed millions of times. british photographer all of a curtis turned his back on the planet to capture an entirely different picture.

the picture was taken because i found the humor of the way people some of these locations particularly interesting the very unselfconscious they stand in to curio ways they do peculiar things like i'm completely invisible because i'm just another tourist to them with this method current is produced on the usual images for his series vault fox it provides a glimpse behind the scenes the famous sites aren't visible they can be guessed at best for example behind this fog is the taj mahal in india. and this is what all of a curtis saw when he turned his back on the colosseum in rome. i took this photo at the foot of the statue of liberty. the long view spending one place the more the landscape yields it starts to speak back to you and i realize

that one of the things that these locations have in common is that people spend very little time there have a cup of tea and ice cream and they go on to take a box yep in that scene it done it. for this project all of a kind it is told the whole world for four years taking photos in the vicinity of forty four tourist attractions. in two thousand and sixteen the vault fast exhibition was on show at the royal geographic society in london. it all started with the pyramids in egypt. i was in cairo on a job and took the opportunity to visit the pyramids like any tourist would when i got. i was surprised by how familiar the place was even though i'd never visited before so i walked around the base of the pyramid and find myself looking back out to the suburbs of giza and i was really struck by the in congress nature when i was seeing this brand new private golf course sandwiched between the old city and the

desert. pace was the start of a journey that's also taken him to rio de janeiro and the lincoln memorial in washington. he turned his back on the great wall of china. as well as lenin's tomb in moscow the last week in the form not that overlooked in the sense that we looked over them. but there was a look in the sense of the neglected not just photographically the neglected environmentally and then i'd like to take true. for now curtis has had enough of photographing tourist attractions although he discovers one more motif of the buckingham palace. we've got three cowboys over here i mean to me that is fantastically interesting it's surreal it's in congress. and it's very funny. you know i would never have scripted that in

a million years and yet there they are. you may remember back in two thousand and ten when one of iceland's volcano is with a very long name which i will not attempt to say erupted again brought air traffic to a standstill across europe well you would have thought that that would have kept tourists away from the country but just the opposite happened the number of visitors to iceland over the last seven years has taken off in mostly because of the volcanic activity we decided to visit so-called golden ring this is where you will find some of the country's most beautiful landscapes but first we wanted to check out the capital reykjavik. makes you pick the world's northernmost capital it's located on the volcanic island of iceland in the middle of the north atlantic deal and harbor fishing boats are nerd beside whale watching

a boat every morning they head out to see. the harp a concert hall right on the waterfront opened in twenty eleven it's glass facade designed by artist olafur eliasson has made it the city's new landmark photographer antonio barrick so it's taught here is always discovering new motifs it's such a good architecture it's very photogenic it's special nothing of a carry case like this i haven't seen anything like this actually anywhere in the world. the concert hall was long a bone of contention here many icelanders were unhappy that it took four years and cost one hundred sixty million euros to construct. there have been a couple of fields with this building and it costs taxpayers here and i spent a lot of money so in this i love relationship. from the heart it's just a short walk to another of reiki a vixen landmark buildings the hot girls care built in one thousand nine hundred

six it's iceland's largest church and sits on a hill overlooking the old town it isn't so good for a camp it's like our eiffel tower in the south i really like the sounds of this world inside it's there's a choir singing or can really feel the music. we're in luck organised is rehearsing for the next church service and he lets us listen in. an elevator takes us up to cut current seventy four metre high tower from here you can see over the entire city and reykjavik spake. the wilderness starts right outside the city limits iceland is one of the most sparsely populated countries in europe. but team fetlar national park visitors can witness for themselves the results of continental drift the two tectonic plates here move apart two

centimeters each year. what we see here is the beginning of the rift between the continents or on this side we can see the and of the north american continental plates and then if you look over the wall to see the beginning of the. one fifty kilometers away visitors can witness another force of nature. one of the world's most reliable fountain geysers it erupts every few minutes spewing water up to forty meters in the air the energy is amazing here it's very impressive me me me jump. it was so impressive next to procure lies the great guys here which lends its name to the world's other spouting hot springs now days it rarely erupts nearby is iceland's famous waterfall the good force or golden foam here water plunges more than thirty meters down into a canyon all the sights together make up the famous golden circle tour. it

takes about an hour to get back to reykjavik in the heart of the city steam pours out of the ground here to the earth is seething under the surface. we meet up with antonia again she wants to show is her favorite place old town with its colorful fisherman's hut it's. this street this one of the oldest streets in a carey and it has a lot of history and i know there are stories around it. due to its proximity to the harbor legend has it that the souls of dead sailors haunt the old town some say occasionally elves and trolls come here to. with evening approaching. antonia is on her way. we visit a restaurant by the harbor called the cycling or sea baron it's said to serve up the world's best lobster soup in close quarters fishermen and tourists enjoy soup
