The Grotto: Portland, Oregon. The chapel is built on the top of a cliff, so the views looking north are amazing.
If you like 'architectural' views, go to Greenwich, London. Here, through one of the the front windows of Queen's House, and onto one of the domes of the Old Royal Naval College and then, across the Thames, to the business buildings of Canary Wharf. Just in front of Queen's House, an ice rink has been built - pure joy during the winter.

Parga is a resort town known for its scenic beauty. Its a very small town, so there is really no need for transportation to get around, except from the boats leaving every now and then to the nearby beaches Lichnos and Valtos. The Castle is found on the top of a hill overlooking the town and was used to protect the town from the mainland and the sea. Definitely, you should to visit her!
A Czech town established in the 12th century with a large castle overlooking the countryside. Vltava River runs through the town with several twists, a popular place for canoes and kayaks. The castle grounds are extensive, with bridges and plazas that are beautifully restored.
In the most romantic part of the Moselle Valley, where the river curves between two hiking paradises - Eifel and Hunsrück - lies the old town of Cochem. Even the Romans sang the praises of this remarkable landscape. It is true - a few things have changed since then, but the attraction has remained because the past centuries - above all the Middle Ages - have left their marks here.
The magnificent Reichsburg, the big castle, situated on a precipitous rock high above the town, dominates the landscape. The many delicate pointed towers, battlements and oriels give the impression of a typical fairy tale castle, particularly as it is one of the few castles in Germany, which was rebuilt in its original style after its complete destruction. As impressive as the castle itself is the view of the Moselle Valley with its beautiful forests, meadows, fields and vineyards, as well as the old part of the town.
The town of Cochem itself is a sight worth seeing, not only because of its narrow streets and twisty alleys, the lovingly restored half timbered houses with the typical slate roofs, the historical market-place, but also because of its medieval town gates, churches and walls. The wine-growers and restaurant owners would also like to take the time to introduce you to the variety of their excellent Riesling wines.
You can enjoy another facet of the town walking along the Mosel promenade which is decorated with flowers and where many benches invite you to a quiet break. A further attraction is a river tour on one of the Moselle boats, either during the day or at night with music and dancing, when the lights of the castle and the town are reflected in the water. Have fun and relax in the only indoor swimming pool with artificial waves in this area. It is a wonderfully situated leisure centre between meadows and vine-yards and offers all the luxury of a modern swimming pool in fine and bad weather.
