The Cliffs of Moher (Ireland)
One of the most stunning landscapes in Ireland (and all of Europe) comes exploring the stony area of The Burren and visiting the Cliffs of Moher. The cliffs are 8 kilometers (5 miles) long and up to 210 meters (688 feet) high. In this habitat, birds such as cormorants and puffins abound. It’s a must-see if you spend several days in Dublin. Just don’t mind the weather!
Loch Ness and the Highlands (Scotland)
Are you visiting Edinburgh? You cannot miss the stunning landscapes of the Highlands, Rannoch Moor, the unique Glencoe Valley, Mount Ben Nevis, and the mysterious Loch Ness. You can take a boat trip in search of “Nessie” (the legendary “monster” that inhabits the lake) or take a walk along the banks of the Caledonian Canal, the longest in Scotland. The highlands may not be Europe’s most visited tourist attraction, but it’s certainly home to some of the continent’s most beautiful landscapes.
Zakopane and the Tatras Mountains (Poland)
Unforgettable landscapes, fresh air, wooden houses, and a lively atmosphere make this one of the most popular destinations in Poland. The Tatras Mountains (Tatry, in Polish) are located on the border between Poland and Slovenia and are the highest part of the Carpathian mountain range. Once in Zakopane (considered the winter capital of Poland), you can take the cable car up to the Gubałówka and Butorowy Wierch mountains. You’ll get absolutely unbeatable views of the city from here. This tour is ideal if you’re traveling to Krakow for several days and want to explore the countryside near the city.
The Grand Canyon (USA)
On to the heavy hitters, and no list of the most beautiful natural landscapes could be complete without the Colorado Grand Canyon, one of the natural wonders of the world and a must-see for anyone visiting Las Vegas. Discover the western part of the Grand Canyon (West Rim or Grand Canyon West). This area is characterized by its incredible cliffs, which are narrow and incredibly deep. You can visit the famous Skywalk, a walkway with a glass floor hanging over the edge of the canyon, allowing you to “fly” at 1,300 meters (4,265 feet) high.
Enchanted City of Cuenca (Spain)
The Enchanted City of Cuenca is a magical place where nature has created an incredible spectacle that more than lives up to its name.
