The name of Vaduz is Rhaeto-Romanic and means "sweet valley." Liechtenstein's capital and principal city, Vaduz (pronounced fa-DOOTDZ ), is situated in a splendid valley at the base of the Alps. It won't take long to take it all in, and it's impossible to get lost—the commercial streets form a loop...
Most visitors flock to Vail during one season (winter) for one thing (snow sports), and with good reason. The largest single-mountain ski resort in North America—with annual snowfall of up to 30 ft/9 m of light, dry powder—boasts a whopping 5,317 acres/2,141 hectares of terrain with 31 high-speed l...
Overview Introduction This beautiful island is completely surrounded by a coral reef and has a lagoon in the center.

The canton of Valais is Switzerland's third-largest, stretching from the southern shore of Lake Geneva south along the border with France and east along the border with Italy for half the length of the country (although Montreux and Vevey are not in Valais, they're close enough that some tours lump ...

Valencia, Spain, located 190 mi/300 km east of Madrid, is famous for food and revelry.

Overview Introduction This large city has lovely parks and green spaces. It is commonly believed (by Venezuelans at least) to be the home of the country's most beautiful women as well. But as the country's manufacturing center, it's geared far more toward business travelers than tourists. Valenci...
Valentine, Nebraska, is situated in the north-central region of the state, 300 mi/485 km north of North Platte. The Valentine area is home to the Sand Hills, the largest stabilized sand-dune formation in the Western Hemisphere. Recognizing the Sand Hills as dunes isn't easy, because they are covered...
Valladolid, Spain, the city where Ferdinand married Isabella and where Columbus died, is rather prosaically set in the middle of a dusty plateau on the Pisuerga River. Lying 100 mi/160 km northwest of Madrid, much of Valladolid is modern, but it deserves a visit for the National Sculpture Museum. Ou...
Valletta is Malta's delightful capital city and a World Heritage site.

Don't confuse this Washington city in the far-southwest corner of the state 165 mi/265 km south of Seattle with the much larger Vancouver, British Columbia, or with Canada's Vancouver Island, both of which are just north of the U.S.-Canadian border. Washington state's Vancouver is home to Fort Vanc...
Vancouver Island, a huge (12,410 sq mi/32,140 sq km) island off the southwest coast of British Columbia, 40 mi/65 km west of the city of Vancouver, is said to be the top island destination in North America.

Nearly vertical limestone cliffs and spires jut up from the floor of a bucolic river valley that lies about 100 mi/160 km north of the capital. The setting is stunning, but despit...
The second-largest Fiji island, Vanua Levu (40 mi/65 km northeast of Viti Levu) offers coconut plantations, striking mountains and bays, tropical foliage, great diving and total relaxation.

This Y-shaped archipelago of small islands, located directly over the Pacific Ring of Fire, has live volcanoes and daring vine jumpers, and it happens to be located in a cyclone corridor.

Fidel Castro stated that tourism would save socialism, and his vision is best represented by Varadero Beach, Cuba.

This uplifted coral island is spectacularly beautiful and hilly—more typical of South Pacific islands than Tongatapu.

Located in the Saleska valley, 52 mi/84 km northeast of Ljubljana, Velenje, Slovenia, is the economic and administrative hub of the region.

Venezuela is in the news a lot these days for its widespread poverty; food and health care shortage; and economic and political instability. Most governments are recommending their residents be cautious when traveling there because of the volatile political situation and lack of security in the big ...
Venice, Italy, is romance: a bridge arching over a canal, a gondola gliding by, the moon reflecting off water. Venice is history: the Palazzo Ducale (Doge's Palace), Piazza San Marco, the Grand Canal, great art and great museums. Venice is modern: the headline names and paparazzi of the Venice Film...
Overview Introduction Halfway between Baucau and Viqueque, Venilale is the birthplace of Jose Ramos-Horta—author and winner of the 1996 Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to bring a peaceful end to the conflict in East Timor. It is famed for its convent, cathedral and colorful Escola de Reino de ...
Ventspils, 117 mi/188 km northwest of Riga, is Latvia's largest harbor for crude oil exports and still has a bleak image as an industrial town. Its renovated old center, however, is charming. A stroll along the old warehouse street Ostas, which is now a pretty harbor promenade, is a favorite of ...
Located on the Gulf of Mexico and 265 mi/425 km east of Mexico City, Veracruz is a good place to go for Caribbean atmosphere (marimba music echoes through the streets at night), colonial architecture (though, as a port, the city has its share of ugly container facilities) and good seafood. The bea...
Verdun, France, has an impressive cathedral, but its name resonates because of the bloody trench warfare fought around the town during World War I. More than a million men—French and German—perished in the 1916-17 battles in this area 70 mi/110 km northwest of Nancy. Area sights include the Town...
Home to the University of South Dakota, this town in the far southeast corner of the state, 62 mi/99 km south of Sioux Falls, gets its name from the deep-red clay found along the Vermillion River. Though they lie about 95 mi/152 km away, Lake Andes National Wildlife Refuge and Karl E. Mundt Nation...
Vermont, the Green Mountain State, has a strong independent streak. When the rest of the U.S. first banded together, Vermont chose to go it alone and remained an independent nation for 14 years before joining the Union as the 14th state. The state's constitution, first drafted in 1777, was the world...
Settled in 1878, Vernal sits in the northeast part of Utah, 170 mi/275 km east of Salt Lake City, in the midst of the state's "Dinosaurland" region. The No. 1 dino attraction is Dinosaur National Monument, which lies 10 mi/16 km east of town and extends into Colorado. It's one of the richest collect...

Over the years, the town's residents fought pirates and built fortified walls to defend themselves ag...
Located in the northern part of the state near the New York state border, 40 mi/65 km northwest of Newark, the Vernon area is the ski capital of New Jersey.

Vichy, 219 mi/353 km southeast of Paris, is famous for its spas and mineral water. The city is an old resort area with a casino. It's a pleasant place to relax for a few days. During World War II, however, the collaborationist government of Petain and Laval was based in Vichy, which has given the t...
This Mississippi River town is a study in contrasts. It is best known for its many fine Victorian and antebellum homes as well as for the Vicksburg National Military Park, a Civil War historic park. But it is also cashing in on the modern casino craze. Four casinos operate in the city. Vicksburg wa...
Although Victoria is in British Columbia, it feels more like England than Canada. The city was founded in the 1800s as a Hudson Bay Co. trading post and outpost of the British Empire, populated by settlers attracted to its mild climate. Historic Victoria boasts several grand buildings, lots of shop...
Overview Introduction Located on the south shore 23 mi/37 km southwest of Charlottetown, Victoria, Prince Edward Island, has become an artists' colony, but fortunately the artists haven't pushed out the traditional industry—fishing.

Vientiane, Laos' capital, is one of the most low-key, friendly capital cities in the world.

Though urbanization is slowly transforming it, th...
Located about 7 mi/11 km off the east coast of Puerto Rico, Vieques Island (along with its smaller and even quieter neighbor, Culebra) has lovely, uncrowded, palm-lined beaches.

Villefranche-Sur-Mer, France, is one of the more charming fishing villages on the Riviera. It has remained relatively unspoiled considering that it serves as a port for cruise ships. A warren of tiny, medieval streets lined with shops, restaurants and art galleries as well as a 16th-century citade...
Vilnius, the 10th-century city that is the capital of Lithuania, exudes a warm charm. Visitor should start their tour on Castle Hill, where Gediminas' Tower offers a spectacular view of the city.

Just up the coast from Valparaiso, 75 mi/125 km northwest of Santiago, Vina del Mar, Chile, is a conventional seaside resort that's less interesting than its southern neighbor: Parts of it are shiny, slick and chic, offering golf, tennis, fine hotels, casinos, parks, shopping, nightlife and beaches ...

The farthest offshore of any of Croatia's Adriatic islands, Vis, located about 191 mi/308 km south of Zagreb, is also one of the most dramatic and unspoiled.

Near Kilauea is the quiet, relaxing village of Volcano where accommodations—several bed-and-breakfast inns and lodges—are available.

This park, 15 mi/25 km east of Gisenyi, protects the Rwandan portion of the spectacular Virunga Mountains, which straddle the borders with Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
