Travel and tour places in Austria
When I think of Austria, the first thing that comes to my mind is the Austrian Alps. Maybe just about everyone knows that Austria is one of the best places to go during the winter. It has countless winter resorts with amazing surroundings, perfect ski tracks suitable for all ages and difficulties and many more sport facilities in case you are not into skiing. For the tired skier or just for everyone who would like to relax and have fun, there are many suitable places to do it – from big swimming pools to hot bath-tubs and restaurants with specialties from around the world. But if you think that Austria is only for the winter … think again!

Travel and tour places in England
Buckingham Palace stands in its own grounds in the heart of London, England. It is possibly the number one 'must see' of the thousands upon thousands of tourists that visit London each year. With its ceremonial guards with their red tunics and tall, bearskin hats, Buckingham Palace is the official London residence of the British royal family as well as being a base for visiting dignitaries and Heads of State. So you would expect security at the palace to be nothing less than top notch, and today it probably is.

Travel and tour places in Iceland
Iceland is constantly covered in ice as more than 11 percent of the country is covered by ice glaciers. I know, that doesn't sound very cozy, but Iceland's climate is surprisingly mild and filled with countless geothermal hot spots. Located in Northern Europe, Iceland is actually a large mountainous island in the North Atlantic that comprises one of the most picturesque places you will ever see. It is never dark in Iceland and nearly the entire landscape is filled with beautiful and colorful wildflowers, especially around the hills that surround the island's deep fjords. The view of the ocean, mountains and delicate grassy shores is spectacular and breath-taking.

Italy, located in southern Europe, is one of the most favored destinations for tourists from all over the world. It is also popularly called "the boot" due to its geographical shape. There is no dearth of places tourists can travel to in this small country, which has a rich cultural heritage. Apart from the great cities of Rome, Milan and Venice, tourists often travel to the majestic Alps in the northern part of the country. One of the most famous spots in Italy is the Bay of Naples.
San Marino and Vatican City are located within Italian territory, but both are independent countries. So if you are traveling to Italy, it is always possible to visit three countries. Though Italian is the official language of Italy, English is used extensively and travel-related instructions are available in English at most of the tourist centers, hotels, airports and railway stations.

Travel and tour places in Netherlands
Europeans are quite evenly spread out over the continent except for the Netherlands which has a population density of almost four times the average. The Scandinavian countries, on the other hand, have a much smaller person-land ratio. Take Finland, for example which is about eight times the size of the Netherlands but has only less than a third of the latter's population. Iceland is more than double the size of the Netherlands but has a density of less than three people per square kilometer. Norway has thirteen people per square kilometer; while Sweden supports a population comparable to the Netherlands' but its land area is ten times bigger.

Norway has a unique set of laws related to technology, particularly as it applies to the web. One set of laws tries to create a consumer friendly air for particular software to product applications. In human terms, these laws state that a software system designed for a specific problem also has to be adaptable to other products not owned by the company in question. In this case, we are talking about the Itunes and Ipod relationship.

Travel and tour places in Portugal
Portugal is fun and for the most part quite reasonable. Sea food is plentiful here and well priced. Try the vinho verde (literally green wine). For the sweet tooth, try the pastel de Nata in the north, pasteis de nata in the south; they're a small cream filled tart. For some music, find a fado bar; it puts the blues to shame for sad heart wrenching songs.
You may find in a restaurant while waiting for your order to arrive, (especially if they have you pegged for a tourist) some smiling person will bring a tempting tray of appetizers to your table, and mumble something that sounds like "serveece" and walk away. My, what friendly people! You nibble on one, you have bought the whole tray, and they are not cheap. Just another way for the struggling restaurateur to put his children through college.
