With the world, and Europe that is opening its borders again, it’s time to take a look at a list of the most beautiful places to visit.

Where are you going this summer?

1. The Amalfi Coast (Italy)

To start off this list, we’ve got to take a look at the Amalfi Coast in the Center/Southern part of Italy — the place is known for its very amazing landscapes and beautiful weather.

2. Como & Lake Como (Italy)

Just beneath the Swiss border, Como is hiding with its beautiful lakes and cute little village.

Being small, but also one of the most visited places in Italy, makes it a good fit for our number two.

3. Chur (Switzerland)

Chur is one of the biggest cities in the Eastern part of Switzerland — with the beautiful nature and landscapes (especially in winter) makes it one of among many of favorite tourist attractions in Switzerland.

4. Lugano (Switzerland)

Similar to Como in Italy, Lugano has beautiful lakes and borders Italy (close to Como) — being one of the biggest towns in the area.

Visiting Lugano in the summer makes it show you the most beautiful blue lake you’ve ever seen.

5. Hallstatt (Austria)

This town in the Western/Central part of Austria might look familiar; that’s because Frozen’s Arendelle is based on this beautiful place in the Austrian mountains.

6. Innsbruck (Austria)

Another Austrian City, a bigger one this time — Innsbruck, is surrounded by mountains, when you walk out of the train stations, you see mountains everywhere.

7. Vienna (Austria)

Austria’s capital Vienna is the largest city of the country and with two million inhabitants makes it one of the biggest city in the European Union.

Some things you have got to visit in Vienna are:

8. Salzburg (Austria)

The birthplace of Mozart! Salzburg is one of the largest cities in the country.

When you visit this city in the North of Austria, close to the German borders, you notice some German influences in the architecture.

9. Zurich (Switzerland)

Back to Switzerland, in the biggest city of the country you can visit a lot of cool attractions and buildings like the old churches and roundtrip boats that actually are included in public transport!

Some of the things that you must visit:

Lake Zurich

Uetliberg

Kunsthaus Zurich (free on Wednesdays)

10. Bern (Switzerland)

Bern feels really medieval when you walk across the old city center — although Switzerland doesn’t really have a capital, many consider Bern the capital.

11. Interlaken (Switzerland)

“Between the lakes” is what Interlaken means, and that’s because, you’ve probably guessed it, it’s between the Lakes.

Being on the route of the Golden Pass Train Route makes it a very likable tourist attraction.

12. Geneva (Switzerland)

From central Switzerland to the West, where they suddenly all speak French — Geneva is a beautiful city on the southern part of the lake.

13. Lauterbrunnen (Switzerland)

If you’d have to imagine the cutest and prettiest small Swiss town, it probably would be Lauterbrunnen — if there’s something that has to typify Swiss towns, it’s Lauterbrunnen.

Take a look for yourself.

14. Lucerne (Switzerland)

Capital of German-speaking Switzerland, Lucerne is the biggest city in the center of the country.

Famous for its bridges and old city center.

15. Isle of Skye (Scotland)

Let’s hop from the one beautiful country to another, Scotland, famous for the highlands has a beautiful Island called Isle of Skye.

Isle of Skye is considered being one of the most beautiful sites in Scotland.

16. Loch Ness (Scotland)

Besides all the mythical stories about Nessie of Loch Ness — it’s also a beautiful place to visit.

17. The Lake District (England)

The Lake District is one of the biggest National Parks in England — beautiful sites and history makes is very likable among tourists.

18. The Coast of Brittany (France)

If you like the French coasts, you’ll love the coast of Brittany — beautiful beaches and pleasant weather in the summer.

With historical towns like Saint-Malo, you’ll never get bored.

19. The Tuscany Coast (Italy)

I visited Orbetello in 2017 and swimming in the ocean and lying on the beach of the Tuscany coast is one of the best things I did that year.

20. Dinant (Belgium)

Maybe one of the most beautiful places in Belgium and the Benelux — Dinant is a very small town in the Southern part of Belgium with a beautiful citadel, making it one of the top-tier tourist attractions in the region and the country.
