Faro is the best-known city in Portugal’s deservedly famous Algarve region. There’s an archaeological museum and a “Bishops’ Palace,” a Renaissance cathedral that was heavily bombed during World War II, but later rebuilt. Nearby in Estoi are Roman ruins, and Albufeira, also nearby, is a formerly quaint fishing village influenced by the Moors in the 8th century. It’s situated in a cliffside location, and has become famous for its beaches (there are 20) and nightlife.

The Algarve's sunny shores offer perfect escapes for all types, from those seeking the hot nightlife of flashy, energetic Lagos to those desiring secluded stays in rambling Sagres. Portugal's most southerly region offers historical attractions in former Moorish capital Silves and fascinating Tavira, great golf, fabulous beaches from Praia da Luz to Armacao de Pera, thermal springs at Caldas de Monchique, and miles of limestone caves and grottoes, cliffs and bays along its rugged coastline.

Formerly a fishing village, Carvoeiro is flanked on either side by the sandstone sea cliffs characteristic of southern Portugal. The town's horsehoe-shaped bay is hailed as one of the Algarve's best beaches, with golden sand backed by whitewashed Mediterranean houses.

The fishing town of Tavira combines two Mediterranean staples: Moorish architecture and a golden beach. Here, a labyrinth of cobbled streets winds past houses tiled in the traditional Portuguese style, and the pace of life flows as gently as the Gilão River.

There is rich and beautiful history within Lagos’ 14th century walls, from its fortress to picturesque churches like mediaeval São João Hermitage and the 17th-century São Sebastião. But that’s all appetiser. People come here for a main-course coastal buffet featuring more than a half-dozen beautiful beaches. Quiet sandy coves are sandwiched between dramatic cliffs. The sandy 2.5-mile stretch of Meia Praia caters to every water sport imaginable. And when you’ve had your fill, you can digest your day with some of the best nightlife in the Algarve region.

聖馬洛原本要建造成有圍牆的城堡，保衛著朗斯河口，過去幾世紀一直是嚇人海盜的基地。這些海盜都跑到深海閻王戴維瓊斯 (Davy Jones) 的寶箱裡去了，現今這裡是小甜甜布蘭妮最常造訪的城市。這座重建後的城市遍佈熱鬧的街道，更有巨型海灘供旅客暢泳，別忘了參觀蘭德波特、聖文森港、小鎮上的城堡、美術館，還有大水族館等等。

對大多數人來說，只要說到采爾馬特 (Zermatt)，他們都會不約而同地聯想到馬特宏峰 (Matterhorn)。這一座山是瑞士最具代表性的指標，座落於采爾馬特之上，早於 1860 年代開始，便吸引觀光客到訪。迷人的采爾馬特村莊街道上沒有車輛，沿途建有舊式的棕色小木屋與彎曲巷弄。不過，請不用擔心，不是到哪個地方都需要步行的，因為你可以選擇乘座電動車或馬車。這個地區的滑雪活動通常會持續到初夏，一旦天氣轉暖，便是健行的好時機。

Rome wasn't built in a day--and you'll need much more than a day to take in this timeless city. The city is a real-life collage of piazzas, open-air markets, and astonishing historic sites. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, contemplate the Colosseum and the Pantheon, and sample a perfect espresso or gelato before spending an afternoon shopping at the Campo de’Fiori or Via Veneto. Enjoy some of the most memorable meals of your life here, too, from fresh pasta to succulent fried artichokes or a tender oxtail stew.
