From my hometown, Loulé:
The central plaza
The town-hall and the market (with obvious moorish influences)
A street in the old part of town
The Algarve Stadium, one of the venues of Euro2004
In Lisboa, where I currently live:
The water volcanos at Parque das Nações, built for Expo '98
The view from São Jorge castle
Padrão dos Descobrimentos, a monument built by the fascist regime to commemorate the Portuguese Discoveries
Bairro Alto, the center of nightlife and one of my favourite spots in the city

This summer I'll visit Gent again. I was there four years ago and it was such a nice surprise for me... What a nice city! The most beautiful of Belgium, no doubt about it

BTW, planning my trip to Belgium this summer I have some doubts... What could I visit near (near=around 1 hour of train) Brugge, apart of Brussels and Gent? I've been in Antwerpen but I think I had enough visiting it once...
I've thought in Ypres, but I don't know if it's nice enough...

Ieper is very small but also very beautiful!

Do go to Ypres/Ieper. See the Museum of the First World War ("Flanders Field Museum"), it's very interesting.
