As a long-term traveler, I find that some European cities reward slow travel: you may spend a week there, and find there still are plenty of museums and neighborhoods that you wish to visit. Yet, there are other cities that you can get a good feel for in a single day, especially when the old town, waterfront and main sights sit close enough to walk between.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why certain places are better suited for travelers arriving by sea<\/strong>, or anyone on a longer journey across Europe. If you are researching the best cruise ports in Europe, you might come across options like cruises to Bergen<\/a>, but wherever you\u2019re heading, you will always face the same challenge: how can you make the most of a city in such a limited amount of time, and avoid sprinting from landmark to landmark?<\/p>\n

As you surely know if you have been on this website, I\u2019ve visited many of these cities now, and I always say that a well-planned day can still leave you with a real sense of a place. My favorite port cities in Europe all have a few things in common: character, an interesting waterfront, and enough variety that even a few hours feels worthwhile.<\/p>\n

Here are the European cruise ports I\u2019ve most enjoyed exploring in a single day.<\/p>\n
