9 Scenic Locations To Visit Around The World

Whether you are planning a solo trip or a holiday with your extended family, your vacation should be a time to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenes of a new place. If you are brainstorming ideas for your next trip, consider one of these nine scenic destinations around the world.

1. Hawaii

Pack a beach towel and sunscreen because nothing beats the view of Hawaii’s gorgeous beaches. If you are looking for something more active to do, consider a tour of the island’s waterfalls or volcanoes. Sign up for a snorkeling excursion if you prefer undersea adventures.

With so many islands and activities in this southern state, consider taking a Hawaii cruise. By taking a cruise, you get to see more sights around the islands than you would if you booked a hotel.

2. Hever Castle

Hever Castle was the home of Henry VIII’s wife Anne Boleyn when she was growing up. It is located in Kent, England. You can even stay at a bed and breakfast located on the castle grounds. Not only is the castle itself a sight to see, but the landscape surrounding it is gorgeous as well.

3. East Coast

If history is your thing, you will love taking in all the historic landmarks up and down the East Coast of North America. Before leaving, make a list of all the historic locations you want to see, such as the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, Ford’s Theater and Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. and the Old North Church in Boston.

With so many places to see in different states, start south and work your way north or vice versa. In order to fully appreciate each landmark, try to book a couple of weeks for this trip to give you enough time to drive and tour each location.

4. Cliffs of Moher

One of the most popular locations in Ireland is the Cliffs of Moher. Not only is this stunning cliff home to beautiful greenery and a variety of birds, but it is located over 700 feet above the coast, making it one of the most popular places for visitors to tour.
