What are some small, charming..often overlooked villages/towns/cities?

[SAWYER]

I am mainly thinking of outside the U.S., old world towns, villages etc that seem straight out of the past? I'm sure Europe is full of them, what are they? I'm bored and feel like looking at pics from unique locations.

Wait, you wish to visit a imaginary land of HDR photography?

Makes me want to go to Church too.

Not.

South of Portugal in the Alentejo region.

Just because it's been HDR'd doesn't mean it would not be awesome anyway.

Usually HDRs are there to make up for something ... lacking.

Yep, I loved Toledo. They have a street called "Ohio Street" and lot of other references to Toledo, OH.

Spain has many other gems as well. Segovia, Sevilla, Cordoba... many others that I'm forgetting right now.

Riquewihr, France - very photogenic tourist town.
Halstatt, Austria - The history of this place blew me away. Dates back to 5500 bce or something crazy like that.
Grado, Italy - just a quaint oceanside town similar to Venice with out them Venetian Douchbag tourists.
Heidelberg, Germany - great history, cool university (where the Body Worlds comes from), site of largest castle ruins in Europe. Also Patton died there.
