In the shadow of snowy peaks and near stunning blue-green fjords, Eidfjord is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful villages in Norway. Even though it has a population of less than 1,000, scores of visitors come here each year to bask in the area's natural splendor. Hardangervidda, near Eidfjord, is Europe's largest mountain plateau as well as Norway's largest national park. Numerous canyons, including the famous Måbødalen Valley, lead south from the Hardangervidda plateau to the fjords along the coast, and about 16 kilometers (10 miles) south of Eidfjord, visitors can see the dramatic 182-meter-tall (597-foot-tall) Vøringfossen waterfall.

The Algarve region of Portugal is famous for its cosmopolitan air, clear blue sea and golden sand beaches surrounded by rugged cliffs. Portimao offers all this and more. Some say the best way to experience this region is to simply sit still and forget the time. You can do just that in any number of public gardens - or stroll the old town and discover a hidden treasure to get lost in.
