Finnair, the flag carrier and the fifth oldest airliner in the world, produced this short colour film in 1961. It shows various major cities of Europe through a story involving a ryijy rug. Although the narration is in Finnish, one should have no problem following the story as the narration occurs only in the beginning. It is quite clear to me that the film was produced with different language narrations for different markets.

The cities illustrated on the film are (in order from the beginning to the end) Amsterdam, London, Paris, Zürich, Frankfurt, Copenhagen and Helsinki.
