In such a great, big world, it’s hard to narrow your plans down to the ten most beautiful places. Every continent, country, and major city or town has some sort of claim to fame, doesn’t it? Still, we took some time to weigh it all in the balance and came up with the top ten regions or cities that need to be at the top of your list. Let’s see if you agree! 

Halong Bay, Vietnam

Vietnam is a wonderful place to visit for countless reasons. The people are hospitable; the scenery is showstopping; and the vacation itself often ends up being affordable. But, Halong Bay often tops people’s lists because the scenery is incomparable. The bay is teeming with pristine beaches, verdant islands, an impressive network of caves, and ample opportunities to enjoy relaxing watersports – be it kayaking, swimming, diving, or a beachside BBQ. 

Santorini, Greece

If the thought of a waterside retreat got your heart pumping, then we simply must add Santorini to the list. We’re talking clear blue waters and silky soft sands. Whereas in Vietnam, you can keep things simple and be one with nature, you can embrace more of a luxe experience in Santorini. The island is teeming with world-class resorts with plush bedding, infinity pools that look out over the Aegean Sea, and satisfying meals at every turn. If you’re looking for an island escape, Santorini simply must be at the top of the list. 

Amalfi Coast, Italy

Santorini is white and pristine, while the Amalfi Coast is bursting with color. Yet, it still has similar offerings. With towns and villages like Sorrento, Capri, Positano, Amalfi, and Pompeii, you can’t go wrong. The way the ancient buildings are built into the cliffs is a marvel – and they really come to life at night when they’re glittering with starlight. Here, again, you’re going to enjoy some of the best meals of your life, along with magnificent hikes and evening strolls along the Mediterranean Sea. 

Malin Head, Ireland

Speaking of sea cliffs, Ireland knows a thing or two about that, too. The Cliffs of Moher almost always rank at the top of everybody’s list. But, for something further off the beaten path, you might head north to Malin Head. It’s the furthest north you can go in the Republic of Ireland and, boy, is there a change in the atmosphere when you’re standing somewhere that beautiful. You’ll look out over the water and feel like you’re at the edge of the earth. Then, when it’s time to move on, you’re in close proximity to Giant’s Causeway – another marvel in the Irish Sea.
