Mahebourg is an important port town in the south-east of Mauritius, located on the Indian Ocean coast, about 20 kilometers from the capital, Port Louis. Named after Mahe Van der Heyde, the Dutch colonial governor, the town is steeped in history, with its colonial architecture and colorful houses creating a unique French and Creole atmosphere. As one of the oldest ports in Mauritius, Mahebourg was historically a key hub for the spice trade and maritime traffic, and still functions as a busy fishing and commercial port today. Visitors can learn about the colonial and slavery history of Mauritius by visiting the National Museum of History, or take a stroll along the waterfront with breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean. The local seafood market, known for its freshly caught lobster and fish, is a popular place to sample Creole cuisine.

Schellenberg is a historic municipality in the north of Liechtenstein and one of the smallest administrative regions in the country, situated on the gentle slopes of the Rhine Valley, close to the Swiss border. Although small, the town carries the story of Liechtenstein's origins - the ruins of the "Upper Liechtenstein" castle, which is a testament to the Liechtenstein family's acquisition of territories in the 13th century, and the remains of its medieval stone walls still attract history buffs to explore the town. The town of Schellenberg is characterized by its tranquil atmosphere. Schellenberg is known for its idyllic, rural atmosphere, where visitors can stroll along winding paths with views of the Alps and the Rhine, or explore the traditional wooden houses and family-owned breweries for a taste of Liechtenstein's slower pace of life. As an important node of Liechtenstein's "Culture Trail", traditional events such as the Medieval Market are held every year, allowing visitors to experience the richness of this miniature country in a relaxed atmosphere.
