10 Of The Most Beautiful Countries in The World To Visit Before It’s Too Late
The World is filled with truly inspiring sights, and so many destinations will leave you in awe and doubting whether they are real. You’ll find it hard to forget your adventures at these wonderful sites.
Urbanization and climate change are reshaping the world as we know it, and there is a possibility these beauties may disappear someday, so now is your chance to explore the wonders our planet has to offer.
Switzerland
Switzerland is the fairy book come true with rolling meadows, crystal clear lakes, and snow-doused Alps. No matter what you’re doing: hiking through lush valleys, skiing on world-class slopes, or munching on Swiss chocolate as you watch the world go by, there’s something magical about it all. Don’t miss the adorable mountain villages right out of a postcard.
New Zealand
New Zealand would be Middle-earth if it existed. This country is known for its dramatic landscapes and is a haven for adventurers and daydreamers. There are volcanic craters of Tongariro and fjords of Milford Sound to marvel at. Plus, the locals are so friendly that you may leave with more friends than you arrived with, and a serious addiction to flat whites.
Italy
Italy is irresistible and charms its visitors with history, art, and food. Picture walking down the cobblestone streets of Rome, having wine in Tuscany, or riding a gondola down a Venetian canal at sunset. If you’re into history, food, or just a good gelato, Italy’s an experience as indulgent as a seven-course meal.
Japan
Japan is an ancient tradition that flows into and unites with modern marvels. A serene temple surrounded by cherry blossoms could be a few steps away from Tokyo’s bustling, neon-lit streets. From its breathtaking landscapes like Mount Fuji to bamboo forests and a culture of hospitality, Japan is unforgettable.
Iceland
Iceland is a dreamland of fire and ice where glaciers coexist against active volcanoes and waterfalls cascade into mossy canyons. You can soak in the Blue Lagoon, chase the Northern Lights, or explore a lava tube. It’s rugged, raw and every inch of it seems like an adventure waiting to happen.
South Africa
South Africa is a country where different landscapes and cultures meet in the best way possible. There are plenty of awe-inspiring moments, whether you’re spotting lions on safari in Kruger National Park, sipping wine in Stellenbosch, or driving along the dramatic coastline of the Garden Route.
Norway
Norway is nature’s masterpiece—from majestic fjords to dramatic cliffs to picturesque villages. Cruising the Geirangerfjord is like gliding along the lines of a beautifully painted fjord, and if you’re lucky, a small touch of celestial magic like the midnight sun or Northern Lights will make your trip even more memorable. The country’s quiet charm lulls you into slowing down and taking it all in – hopefully with a plate of fresh salmon.
Canada
Canada is the poster child for natural beauty. From towering Rockies to serene lakes and destinations like Banff and Jasper National Parks, it is made up of dreams. Cities like Montreal and Vancouver offer stunning backdrops. If you love wildlife, then you can’t beat spotting a moose or bear in the wild. Just remember to give it a wide berth.
Greece
Visiting Greece is like exploring an ancient history book. The idyllic islands with whitewashed buildings overlooking turquoise waters feel like heaven. Whether you’re visiting the iconic sites of Athens or relaxing on a beach in Santorini, Greece is laid-back and will have you relaxed and refreshed. Try some Baklava, a delicious, flaky pastry that will have you wanting more.
Peru
Mystical ruins from Machu Picchu to the vibrant culture of Cusco, Peru draw tourists to its beauty. Food, though is an experience all its own, and the Andean landscapes are as inspiring as the stories of the Inca Empire. Enjoy a ceviche or a Pisco Sour, and soak up the view in the Sacred Valley before you leave.
