1. Prague<BR>2. Vienna<BR><BR>Both are amazing medievil cities with wonderful museums and churches and scenery. Plus they have the nice modern touches too.

Venice - a completely different city. Amazing, and still lived in. May be man-made, but still a wonder to see.<BR><BR>Capri - As much vertical as horizontal. How did the Roman Emperors get to a villa (Jovis) way the heck up there? (Most likely they rode donkeys or were carried by slaves). Ride the chairlift up the other mountain. Ride the minibus down the side of a cliff if you dare!

My experience in Europe is limited, but I would also agree that the Salzkammergut region in Austria (just southeast of Salzburg) is amazing - a wonderful mixture of lakes and mountains. Anywhere you go is beauttiful, but the south end of the Hallstatsee, at Hallstat, is pretty darn incredible - beautiful scenery, unbelievably quaint and historic village - hard to ask for more.<BR><BR>In the US, places I have personally been that I was amazed by are:<BR>Bryce Canyon<BR>Zion Canyon<BR>The Grand Canyon (but I didn't really have to tell you that, did I?)<BR>The Columbia River Gorge<BR>The narrow guage train ride from Durango to Silverton, Co is wonderful<BR>Mesa Verde<BR>Acadia NationalPark<BR><BR>There are lots of other places I have in mind that I'd love to go to, but these are the only ones that I can personally vouch for.<BR>

Turkey-you can go from the hustle and bustle of Istanbul to the amazing natural rock formations in Cappadocia (one of the Star Wars movies was filmed there so I guess that would meet your another world requirement!) to a seaside resort to the most fabulous ruins at Ephesus all in the same trip.<BR><BR>And although it's not in Europe, New Zealand has amazing natural beauty.

I have two suggestions.<BR>1. Der Grossglockner in Austria.<BR>2. Waterfall Valley via the Iceline Train in Yoho National Park in Canada.<BR>For this one you probably will need to camp overnight, or stay at Twin Falls Chalet.<BR>
