Built on seven hills, Lisbon blends a southern European sense of life with a great history of discovery. From the Tower of Belém, Vasco da Gama and other navigators set out into the unknown - yellow trams and the melancholic Fado still tell the tale today.
Nestled at the mouth of the Douro on the Atlantic in north-western Portugal, the country's second city tumbles down both banks of the river in terraces. The Ribeira old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, while across the river in Vila Nova de Gaia, the famed port wines age in centuries-old cellars.
Vigo is Spain's largest fishing port and gateway to Galicia. The Cíes Islands off the coast (Atlantic Islands of Galicia National Park) are among the most pristine beaches in Europe; the pilgrim city of Santiago de Compostela is one hour away.
Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory at the foot of the striking limestone rock that guards the strait. The Barbary macaques (Europe's only wild monkey population), St Michael's stalactite cave and the view across to Africa 14 km away make Gibraltar unique.
On the Costa del Sol in Andalusia on Spain's southern Mediterranean coast lies Málaga at the foot of the El Torcal mountains.

Cartagena is a port city on the Spanish Mediterranean coast in the Murcia region and home to one of the country's principal naval bases.

La Seu Cathedral - one of the most striking Gothic cathedrals in Europe - stands right by Palma's harbour. The Old Town with its noble palaces, Arab baths and Arab Quarter brings together three millennia of history.
Alcúdia lies in the north-east of Mallorca between two wide bays and is the island's only town with an almost completely preserved 14th-century medieval city wall. Just outside the gates lie the Roman ruins of Pollentia, the former capital of the Balearic Islands.

Birthplace of Napoleon and capital of Corsica. The "Île de Beauté" offers one of the wildest coastal landscapes of the Mediterranean: rugged granite shores, emerald bays and a hinterland of chestnut forests and maquis scrub.
Civitavecchia lies about 80 kilometres north-west of Rome and is the classic cruise gateway to the Eternal City. The harbour is guarded by the 16th-century Forte Michelangelo, completed to designs by Michelangelo.
