Mannheim, Germany

Mannheim Harbour is the second largest river port in Germany.

Mannheim is the second largest city of the state of Baden - Württemberg after the capital (Strasbourg), in southern Germany. It is built on the right bank of the river Rhine. The city's symbol is a water tower in the east of the city.

Strasbourg, France

The city of Strasbourg is also rich in museums.

Strasbourg is the capital and principal city of the Alsace region in eastern France and is the official seat of the European Parliament. Located close to the border with Germany, it is the capital of the Bas-Rhin département. Strasbourg is the seat of several European institutions, such as the Council of Europe (with its European Court of Human Rights, its European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines and its European Audiovisual Observatory) and the Eurocorps, as well as the European Parliament and the European Ombudsman of the European Union. The city is the seat of the Central Commission for Navigation on the Rhine. Two bridges join Strasbourg with Kehl (city of Germany), France with Germany.
