Rothenburg ob der Tauber rises above the Tauber River in Bavaria, where its medieval town center has stood largely unchanged for centuries, making it one of Germany’s most vivid windows into the past. This old walled city stretches along cobblestone streets where half-timbered houses, ancient towers, and narrow alleys invite visitors to wander and imagine life in the Middle Ages.
Colonia del Sacramento is where time lingers. Founded in 1680 by the Portuguese and later contested by the Spanish, the town’s past is etched into its cobblestone streets and weathered facades. The Barrio Histórico, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is compact enough to walk in an afternoon yet layered with centuries of stories. Visitors can explore remnants of the original city walls and climb the iconic lighthouse for sweeping views of the Río de la Plata.

Scuba dive, hike, go deep sea fishing, shop for Saba Lace and Saba Spice (an innocent sounding but potent local rum), or relax and enjoy the spectacular views high above the blue Caribbean.
