  We were running late to check out of our hotel because my two young girls had demanded to use the pool one last time. I indulged them. The squeals of laughter were worth it. Afterward, we hustled to pack, race out the room and at 11:40 a.m. the lift doors opened in the lobby of the Hilton in Côte-des-Neiges district of Montreal. Our path was blocked by staff.

  Rick Steves Tucked into a far corner of Europe, just two hours north of Lisbon, is one of my favorite beach towns: Nazaré, a Portuguese fishing town turned tourist retreat.
