Visit Sognefjord, Norway

In Norway alone there are dozens upon dozens of fjords (a valley with steep sides, formed as a result of glacial movement) and the reason that Sognefjord stands out is that it is the largest fjord in the country – and second only in the world to Greenland’s Scoresby Sund.
It’s difficult to take in just how naturally stunning – and expansive – Sognefjord is without actually being there.  With the highest peaks standing over 2,000m above sea level and the lowest depths of the lakes being over 1,300m below sea level, it’s difficult to take in that this beauty has all been created without the assistance of man.

Visit Sentoniri

When you think of Greece, the first thing that so often comes to mind is beautiful white-washed stone houses with bright, electric blue roofs.  Although there are many places in Greece that offer these views, none does it better than Santorini.
On the several small islands that make up Santorini, the majority of them line their cliff edges with these buildings, which when coupled with the fantastic beaches that the area offers, make for a picture perfect postcard image.

Visit Venice, Italy

One of the most popular cities in Italy, Venice is known primarily for its canals, which provide both romantic and commuter travel within the city.
There are, however, many other reasons why a visit to Venice is a must, notably some amazing feats of architecture, such as Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo and Piazza San Marco

Visit Rome, Italy

Most would agree that any list entitled ‘Most Beautiful Places In The World’ would be incomplete without a mention of Italy’s capital city, Rome.
The sheer amount of wonderful architecture and general history of the city cement Rome’s place on the list, with the likes of the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain and the Piazza della Repubblica all being beautiful architectural delights.

Visit Vatican City, Italy

Situated in the middle of Rome is the smallest official country in the world, Vatican City.  Covering a mere 0.44 square kilometres, whilst Vatican City may be known to many because of its size, being home to the Pope and centre of the Catholic religion, it is the buildings that are encompassed within the country that are the reason for its inclusion within this list.
The Sistine Chapel, St Peter’s Basilica and St Peter’s Square will all take your breath away themselves, without taking into consideration the amount of famous artwork that is on display within them.

Visit Machu Pichu Peru

Located on a mountainous area above the Urubamba Valley, Machu Picchu is a pre-Colombian Inca site and regardless of whether you have an interest in history or not, can make you stop and stare in sheer awe.
Built initially in the middle of the 15th century, Machu Picchu was said to have been inhabited for around 100 years before it became uninhabited and went uncovered for over 3 centuries, until Hiriam Bingham, a Yale lecturer, rediscovered the site in July 1911
