A country of many guises, Greece is a fabulous, year-round vacation destination. It's a land of deep culture with a civilization that goes back a millennia. Greece's landscape is equally impressive, with forests, towering peaks, and, of course, the famous Greek islands. It's the latter, perhaps, that captures the imagination of tourists the most, with the best Greek Islands often recommended by travelers for summer vacation. Spread across the Aegean, Ionian, and Mediterranean seas, like jewels in a vast expanse of clear turquoise, they are a dream come to life.

The wonderful old buildings clustered together at the top of a peak, overlooking vast swathes of land (and other hill towns), are a sight to behold.

Rick Steves, with his line of guidebooks, travel shows, and blog, has been a go-to reference for many travelers for years — Steves can break down the best European destinations based on someone's interests, he's got advice for where to go on a budget, and he's full of suggestions for the yummiest places to eat. But along with Steves' recommendations of where you should go, just as importantly, he has some thoughts on where you should not go. When it comes to Switzerland, that place is Geneva.

Belfast: city of riveters, inventors, linen mill girls, boxers, pamphleteers, revolutionaries, Lambeg drummers, uilleann pipers, mission hall preachers and moustachioed burghers with fob watches. Some of these can still be seen, here and there, usually in ghostly form. Now you are more likely to find cocktail creators, urban farmers, NGO officials, tech specialists, muralists, political tour guides, ravers and Irish-language teachers.
