Every nation has its beauties and breath-taking landscapes, ten with a unique combination of exceptional natural beauty and wonders that augment their territory with everything from lovely towns to timeless villages, stunning parks, and unspoiled terrain. They are nations with a wide range of attractions and a wealth of sources of inspiration from both man and nature.
The most common representations of Spain are the overdeveloped Costa del Sol or portions of the Balearic Islands, although the country is much more than that. Spain has everything from opulent urban centers to white Mediterranean villages that are more distinctive than Barcelona. From the Pyrenees to Andalusia, Spain is the backdrop for any artwork. It is arguably the most diverse country on earth. It is also the most seductive country in the world, with plazas in even the smallest cities, painstakingly preserved ancient areas, and the smallest villages perched on hilltops reflecting a love for life.
Although the city, Paris, receives all the attention, France has so much more to offer. Paris emanates an atmosphere of cultural grandeur. All around the nation, from the majestic Loire Valley to lush Provence, are villages brimming with Old World charm. There is also the opulent Riviera, where you may visit Versailles and the Louvre, two of the world's most magnificent palaces and museums. However, France also offers top-notch living in its outdoor cafes, immaculately preserved towns, and wine-producing areas like Bordeaux and Champagne. If that's still not enough, check out the magnificence of Mont St. Michel, the countless chateaux spread out around the nation, and the breathtaking view of the Chamonix valley.
Mykonos beaches and the Greek islands in the Aegean Sea are among the most stunning places on earth. They are the initial pictures of the country, but there are also majestic Mt. Olympus, breathtaking Meteora, and historic ruins. Greece is a place that fulfills all the senses, so it's obvious how the concept of so many gods emerged here, even though Athens disappoints those seeking aesthetic inspiration.
Portugal would be on this list for the purely natural wonders of the volcanic Azores. The "floating garden" of Madeira, the dramatic coastline and mysterious capes of the mainland, the serene plains of the Alentejo region and its capital Évora, the breathtakingly situated medieval towns of Marvo, Monsaraz, and videos, the Peneda-Gerês National Park, the breathtaking waves of Nazaré and Ericeira, and the flawless fusion of man and nature in Sintra and the lush Douro Valley are also among the attractions. The two main cities, Lisbon and Porto, are their picturesque beauty and opulent riverbank locations.
Despite having some of the most unsightly cities in the developed world connected by shopping mall roads lined with fast food restaurants, car lots, billboards, budget hotels, and soulless suburbs (whose residents blithely live the American dream), America truly is the most beautiful country in the world when it comes to the natural world. There are the Hawaiian Islands, the Grand Canyon, Lake Tahoe, California's Big Sur, Alaska's wildlife, Monument Valley, Yellowstone, Yosemite, and other magnificent national parks, as well as the forestland of the Great Smoky Mountains, Lake Tahoe, and the Grand Canyon, all of which have breathtaking scenery. San Francisco offers beauty in an urban context, saving the nation from the seemingly endless list of natural treasures.
