Karlskrona is a coastal city in southeastern Sweden, spread across islands and peninsulas in the Blekinge archipelago. Founded as a naval base, it was carefully planned around the needs of Sweden’s fleet, and its historic naval environment remains central to the city’s identity. The central island of Trossö contains the main urban district, while nearby islands and waterfronts provide a close connection to the Baltic Sea.

Hot Springs, Arkansas has been drawing visitors for centuries, and it all starts with the water. The city sits atop a natural thermal spring system that produces nearly a million gallons of 143-degree water each day. These springs gave rise to Bathhouse Row, a stretch of eight historic bathhouses within Hot Springs National Park. Some, like the Fordyce Bathhouse, now serve as museums, while others still offer traditional thermal soaks.

Other attractions of this quaint town include a temple appropriately named Onsenji, views from Mt Taishi accessed by a ropeway at the end of the main street, two museums, and numerous cafes serving local specialties such as snow crab, Tajima beef and onsen-boiled eggs.
