West Highlands of Scotland. Unbelievably beautiful.

Every corner of this planet has exquisite beauty. Iceland is particularly incredible in that it boasts both volcanic splendor and icy vistas. And it’s largely untouched. If you go there, tread softly. Keep it untamed, and beautiful.
The Rocky Mountains in Canada, specifically Moraine Lake.
It’s interesting that throughout the millennia of our history, people have not always traveled to seebeautiful placesin other countries. No, of course, theaestheticsof admiring the beauty of nature andarchitecturehave always been there, but to go specifically to another city or country to enjoy this beauty - of course not.People traveled on trade and military matters, made pilgrimages, moved between towns and entire countries - and around them, beautiful nature grew and blossomed in riotous color, architectural wonders towered. But few people actually paid attention to it…

Banff National Park.
Path of the Gods, Amalfi Coast, Italy.Google it, seriously.It was insane.
Cinque Terre, which is comprised of five villages on the northwestern coast of Italy. Being there feels like you’re living inside a postcard. In fact, it is a postcard!
Cook looked after the group members carefully (mostly, however, he tried to distract them from the thoughts about booze - so he switched people’s attention to the beauty around them), and the carefree trip was so enjoyable for folks that they wanted more. Then more and more - and so Thomas Cook organized the world’s firsttravelagency. By the way, it was also the longest-lived - the company existed until 2019, when it successfully went bankrupt… but that’s a completely different story.
Sequoia National Park. I’ve lived in Europe and the Middle East, traveled far and wide, and Sequoia National Park has my heart. Those trees make me cry, the lives they’ve lived, the stories they could tell. Majestic giants.
Plitvička Jezera (Plitvice National Park)It’s Croatia’s oldest and largest national park covering almost 30,000 hectares and a UNESCO World Heritage site. It’s well known for it’s series of lakes and waterfalls and pristine turquoise water. The forests are home to brown bears, grey wolf and lynx.
Maui, Hawaii.
Cook’s simple and pragmatic concepts were mixed with the philosophical views of Henry David Thoreau, who in the mid-19th century completely dominated the minds of American society. Thoreau’s thoughts on nature, its beauty and simple life away from the bustle of the city became the cultural basis of tourism - and Cook and his colleagues provided a convenient opportunity to go to almost any point on the globe.
Yellowstone and Grand Tetons National Parks.
Gap of Dunloe, Ireland. After each turn, your breath gets taken away further.
New Zealand, south island.
Glen Coe, Scottish Highlands. Breathtaking and wild and rough and beautiful.
Lake Bled, Slovenia. The mountains rising into the clouds, the green fields with cows and sheep, the beautiful lakes, the postcard-worthy churches and castles…Most beautiful place I’ve ever been, would go back in a heartbeat one day if I can.
Any mountain neighborhood in Switzerland.Edit: Mt. Pilatus, Lucerne near Zurich and Lutry near Lausanne were memorable for me.
Mount Rainier National Park. Especially during wildflower season. I could stay there forever if I could.
The Hoh rainforest in Washington State. Looks eerie and beautiful at the same time.
Yosemite. Although there wasn’t a trace of Sam.
The summit of the Going To The Sun Road in Glacier National Park, Montana. I went in late summer and it was busy, but the views on every part of the drive were so gorgeous. The summit view was so beautiful, with the wildflowers, the other mountain peaks, and the sky ❤️.
Zion National Park.
