Four Little-known European Destinations

Everyone's heard of Europe's major tourist destinations and rightly so – after all, Amsterdam,

Berlin, Paris and Rome are all famous for a reason. But there are still numerous cities and regions

that aren’t even mentioned on typical European ''to--do'' lists. The following destinations offer a

perfect reason to step slightly off the beaten track.

Innsbruck, Austria

Buried at the foot of the towering Alps, the Austrian city of Innsbruck offers guests a chance

to appreciate a blend of old and new. The old town dates back over 800 years, and provides a

glimpse at Medieval life in the region, while the modern Home of the Giant, a massive center of

arts, entertainment and shopping, is the largest of its kind in the world. Within the center is the

stunning Swarovskio Crystal Cloud. During winter months, tourists can participate in various

alpine activities. Skiing, snowboarding and many other sports are offered on the nearby slopes;

during summer, the area provides a perfect site for rock climbing and hiking. Nature lovers can

visit the Alpine Zoo, while history lovers can get lost in the many museums and galleries the town

has to offer.

Tallinn, Estonia

Located in Estonia and rarely featured as a must-see destination, Tallinn, nonetheless, offers a

fascinating chance to relive history in one of Europe's lesser-visited nations. A vibrant city that

frequently hosts festivals of various genres, Tallinn is home to the expansive Kumu Art Museum,

which has got both classic and contemporary pieces, and the Open Air Museum, a recreated

historic village complete with staff in ancient costumes. To add a brilliant final touch to the

Estonian experience, visitors should listen for the haunting sounds of the organ from one of the

many churches around the city.

Cinque Terre, Italy

A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, the villages of Cinque Terre have a range of

activities for everyone. Outdoor enthusiasts can opt to dive or snorkel(潜水) in the marine park,

and anyone chasing nature can watch the birdlife in the Riomaggiore’s Torre Guardiola. Manarola

is famous for producing Sciacchetra wine, and another village, Vernazza, is known for its

cobbled(铺有鹅卵石的) street and various laneways. Vernazza is also home to the Gothic-

Ligurian church, which was built in 1318.

Zadar, Croatia

Full of creative architecture and full of history, the city of Zadar in Croatia continues to

fascinate visitors year after year. The famous Wide Street, which is even older than the city itself is

a reminder of the Roman influence on the area. The Museum of Ancient Glass has a vast

collection of Roman glassware from the commanding 19th-century Cosmacendi Palace.

I took a job at a vet (兽医) clinic almost five decades ago. As an enthusiastic animal lover, I

accepted the position on the condition that I wouldn't have to assist with any wounded animals. I

couldn't bear to see any creature in pain.

At the end of my first week, we were closing the office for the day when a young man ran up

to us holding a severely injured Doberman pinscher puppy (杜宾幼犬) in his arms and begging us

to save his life. The four-month-old pup had been hit by a car.

The doctor and I ran back into the operating room. The only place the skin was still attached

to this poor little animal's body was around one shoulder. The vet worked tirelessly for what

seemed like hours, sewing him back together again. That was the easy part. The puppy had broken

multiple bones, including his spine (脊椎) . If he survived the next few days, we were quite sure

he would never walk.

That day forever changed my life. I became the vet's assistant in all things medical. One of

my first jobs was to give that Doberman puppy daily physical therapy, I remember moving his tiny

legs to try to keep his muscles from weakening.

Weeks went by until one day, I felt this little fighter push back ever so slightly. And he

continued to push back till he could finally use his legs.

Fast-forward about a year. I walked into the clinic's crowded waiting room and called the

name of the next client. Suddenly, a huge Doberman who had been standing quietly with his
