It is no secret that Europe is filled with beautiful places to visit. With its grand cities, fairytale-like towns, soaring mountain ranges, and gorgeous beaches, there is a seemingly endless list of gorgeous places to explore. Whether you are planning your next trip to Europe, or just trying to figure out where to travel to next, here are 30 beautiful places to visit in Europe.

Beautiful Places to Visit in Europe

1. The Dolomites of Italy

With jagged mountain peaks, charming towns, and picturesque lakes, the Dolomites of Italy are one of the most beautiful places to visit in Europe.
Dolomites | Beautiful Places to Visit in Europe
During the summer months, this is a hiking paradise, attracting those of all ages and ability levels. Chair lifts whisk hikers to some of the highest peaks, so you can get some truly jaw-dropping views with very little effort.

In the winter months, skiers glide down these same mountains in a snow-covered winter wonderland.

Top Experiences: Tre Cime di Lavaredo is one of the most popular hikes in the Dolomites, but there are many more to choose from. Our favorite hike is the Puez-Odle Altopiano. And if hiking isn't your thing, we have a guide to the best things to do in the Dolomites with little to no hiking.

2. Santorini, Greece

The island of Santorini is the remnants of an ancient volcano. What remains is the rim of the caldera and perched along this rim are some of the most photogenic towns in Europe.

Oia is one of the most beautiful towns in Santorini. The cascades of whitewashed buildings dotted with blue dome churches and windmills form a stunning backdrop for photographers. As the sun goes down, this place looks even more magical, as the buildings glow in pinks and oranges and yellows. It's definitely a sight to see.
Oia, Santorini | Beautiful Places to Visit in Europe
How Long Should You Spend in Santorini? Three days on Santorini is the perfect amount of time to explore the towns, visit the beaches, and watch the sunset from a cruise and from Oia.

3. The Fjords of Norway

Southern Norway is laced with fjords, waterfalls, mountains and some of the most thrilling hiking trails in Europe. This is a beautiful place to visit and one of Europe's best road trip destinations.

You can explore the fjord by boat, by train, by car, and on foot. And there are ways to combine all of these modes of transportation into one epic Norwegian holiday.

Top Experiences: Visit Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cruise the fjords by ferry or on a cruise ship. Hike to Pulpit Rock, Kjeragbolten, and Trolltunga. Norway in a Nutshell is a tour that combines a cruise on the fjords with a scenic drive and one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world.

How Long Should You Spend in Norway? We recommend spending at least 7 days in this region of Norway but more time is better. This gives you enough time to also visit Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger as well as cruise the fjords and go hiking.

5. Algarve, Portugal

Algarve...this is the gorgeous coastline of southern Portugal. Not only can you relax on the beaches, but you can tour the towns that dot the coast, go hiking, play golf, and explore the limestone grottoes.

Top Experiences: Relax on the beach at Praia Sao Rafael, visit the towns of Faro, Lagos, and Tavira, hike the Seven Hanging Valleys coastal trail, and visit Benagil Cave.

6. The Wild Atlantic Way, Ireland

The Wild Atlantic Way is 1600 miles of road that snakes along the western coast of Ireland. Driving the Wild Atlantic Way is an ambitious road trip. If you stopped at each viewpoint and explored every nook and cranny of the Wild Atlantic Way, it would take over one month. With less time, you can focus on a small portion of the drive or just hit the main highlights.

Top Experiences: The Ring of Kerry, Dingle Peninsula, and Cliffs of Moher all are some of the sights on the Wild Atlantic Way. But there are also plenty of lesser known but just as dramatic viewpoints to visit. In fact, there are 157 Discovery Points to visit on the drive.

How Long Should You Spend on the Wild Atlantic Way? It takes a minimum of three days to drive the Wild Atlantic Way, but this barely gives you enough time to soak in the views. Plan on spending at least five days road tripping along the coastline for the best experience.

9. Istria, Croatia & Slovenia

The Istrian Peninsula is a wedge-shaped peninsula located in northwest Croatia and western Slovenia. Istria doesn't share the same level as popularity as southern Croatia, but that also means that Istria is far less crowded. If you want to avoid the crowds that flock to Dubrovnik and Hvar and Split, but still enjoy extremely beautiful coastal scenery and charming towns, consider a visit to the Istrian Peninsula.
Piran | Beautiful Places to Visit in Europe
Top Experiences: Visit the seaside towns of Rovinj, Pula, Porec, Piran, and Koper, go cliff jumping at Cape Kamenjak, visit Roman ruins, dine on fresh seafood, and soak up the sun on the beach.

How Long Should You Spend in Istria? With three days you can zip through the top sights. More time allows you to slow down and savor this unique part of Europe.

10. Keukenhof, Netherlands

During the months of April and May, Keukenhof is a wonderland of flowering daffodils, tulips, and hyacinths. It is gorgeous and well worth the visit if you plan to be in Amsterdam during these months.

Top Experiences: Stroll through the gardens, take lots of photos, and go shopping in the gift shops.

How Long Should You Spend in Keukenhof? With transportation to and from Amsterdam, a visit to Keukenhof lasts roughly half of a day.

11. Rakotzbrücke, Germany

Rakotzbrücke, also called the Devil's Bridge, looks like something that belongs in a fairytale.

Rakotzbrücke was built in 1860. The entire bridge is manmade, including the jagged, rocky spires on either end of the bridge and the pointed rocks that sit in the lake.

How to Visit Rakotzbrücke: Rakotzbrücke is located in Rhododendronpark Kromlau near Gablenz, Germany. You can get here on a day trip from Berlin or Dresden.

13. The Isle of Skye, Scotland

With its dramatic coastal scenery, quaint towns, and lush landscapes, the Isle of Skye is one of the most beautiful places to visit in Europe.

This is a great destination for people of all ages. This compact peninsula is easy to explore by car, with just enough short but sweet hiking trails that allow you to truly appreciate the beauty of this place.
Old Man of Storr | Beautiful Places to Visit in Europe
14. Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegovina

With its cobblestone streets, old stone buildings, towers and minarets, Mostar looks like it was plucked from the pages of a fairytale. Stari Most, the unique stone bridge that spans the Neretva River, is the centerpiece of town.
Mostar | Beautiful Places to Visit in Europe
Not only is it fun to wander the streets, but the shopping and the cafes make this town a delight to visit.

How Long Should You Spend in Mostar? Ideally, plan on spending two days and one night in town. With an overnight stay, you get to explore Mostar at sunset and in the morning hours, when the streets are delightfully uncrowded.

15. The Cinque Terre, Italy

Five colorful, dazzling towns tumble down the coastal cliffs into the Mediterranean Sea. Not only is this a gorgeous spot to explore in Italy, it's also one of the best places to visit in Europe.
Vernazza | Beautiful Places to Visit in Europe
Top Experiences: Explore the five towns: Riomaggiore, Vernazza, Monterosso al Mare, Manarola, and Corniglia. If you like hiking, you can hike between all five towns in one day. The more you hike the more gelato you get to eat. End in Monterosso and cool off with a quick swim in the Mediterranean.

How Long Should You Spend in the Cinque Terre? For the best experience, plan on spending at least one night (two or three nights is ideal) in one of the five towns. With one full day, hike or take the train to connect all five towns. With more time, relax on one of the beaches or day trip to Portofino.

16. Kirkjufell, Iceland

Kirkjufell is Iceland's most photographed mountain. It's unique arrowhead shape, coastal location, and isolation from other mountains makes it a very unique photography location. Throw in a series of waterfalls and you have a stunning photography location.
Kirkjufell | Beautiful Places to Visit in Europe
How to Visit Kirkjufell: Kirkjufell is located on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. It's possible to visit Kirkjufell on a very long day trip from Reykjavík, but for the best experience, plan on spending one to two nights on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. This gives you enough time to capture Kirkjufell at sunset or sunrise, if you are a photographer, and to explore the other amazing sights on this peninsula (of which there are many).

17. The Alsace Region of France

The Alsace wine route, located in eastern France, is a wonderful blend of fairytale towns and picturesque vineyards.

The Alsace wine route is where France meets Germany. This blend of French and German culture is also reflected in the architecture and the cuisine.

Colorful, half-timbered houses line cobblestoned streets. Add in adornments of flowers, whimsical decorations on the buildings, and charming street cafes, and it really does feel like you are walking around in a fairy tale.
Colmar | Beautiful Places to Visit in Europe
Top Experiences: Visit the long list of Alsatian towns (Colmar, Ribeauville, Riquewihr, and Eguisheim are several of the top towns), explore Chateau du Haut-Koenigsburg, dine on Alsatian food, and visit the wineries.

18. Gdansk, Poland

Gdansk is a beautiful city located on the Baltic Sea. It is often overlooked by many travelers to Poland, in favor of the more popular spots like Warsaw, Krakow, and Wroclaw. However, its colorful streets, easy walkability, and collection of historical sites makes this city an underrated gem in Europe.

Top Experiences: Walk the Royal Way, take in the view from the Town Hall tower, visit St. Mary's Church, stroll along the Motlawa River, look for the gargoyles on Mariacka Street, visit the European Solidarity Center and the Museum of the Second World War, and day trip to Malbork Castle.

19. The Swiss Alps, Switzerland

Towering mountains, alpine meadows, soaring cable cars, historic cogwheel trains, scenic walking trails, quaint villages and hamlets...the Swiss Alps tops the list as one of the most beautiful places to visit in Europe.
View of the Matterhorn in Zermatt | Beautiful Places to Visit in Europe
Top Experiences: Explore Lauterbrunnen Valley, ride the cable cars to Jungfraujoch and Schilthorn, visit Zermatt and ride the train to Gornergrat for views of the Matterhorn, visit the alpine towns of Mürren, Wengen, and Gimmelwald. During the summer months, hike the trails and during the winter months, spend your time on the ski slopes.

How Long Should You Spend in the Swiss Alps? As long as possible. 😊 On the quickest of visits to Switzerland, it's possible to day trip into the Alps from Lucerne, Zurich, or Lausanne. In all honestly, put as much time here as you can. We spent ten days in the Swiss Alps on our most recent visit and more time would have been better.

20. Costa Brava, Spain

This rocky coastline in northeast Spain is well-known for its small towns and rugged coastal scenery. Costa Brava stretches from the border of France to the town of Blanes. With great weather and beautiful beaches, this is a top holiday destination for many Europeans.

21. Hallstatt, Austria

This small town, with its picture-perfect setting, is undoubtably one of the most beautiful places to visit in Europe.
Hallstatt | Beautiful Places to Visit in Europe
In recent years, Hallstatt has become one of the most popular places to visit in Austria. Expect big crowds during the summer and early fall. However, with proper planning, this can be a magical place to visit.

Top Experiences: Wander the old town, take in the view from the World Heritage Skywalk, tour the salt mines, and visit the Hallstatt Ossuary.

How Long Should You Spend in Hallstatt? A few hours are all you need to walk through town. For the best experience, plan an overnight stay, so you can enjoy these scenic streets once the day trippers disappear.

22. The Lofoten Islands, Norway

Without a doubt, the Lofoten Islands are one of the most spectacular places we have been. With rugged coastlines, small harbors filled with red fishing cabins, winding roads through the mountains, thrilling hiking trails, and beaches that look like they belong in the Caribbean, northern Norway is a delight to explore.

Top Experiences: Take your pick from the amazing hiking trails (Reinebringen is the most famous but there are many more to choose from), explore the white sandy beaches, stay in a rorbu, explore the fishing villages, dine on fresh fish and seafood, and see the Northern Lights during the winter months.

How Long Should You Spend in the Lofoten Islands? At the bare minimum, you need two full days on the Lofoten Islands. Four days is even better but each day you add to your itinerary gives you more time to explore this region and gives you some contingency time, just in case you get bad weather (which is a very real possibility here).

23. Bay of Kotor, Montenegro

The Bay of Kotor resembles the fjords of Norway or New Zealand, with green cliffs plunging into the blue water of the bay. A two-lane road meanders along the edge of the Bay of Kotor, passing through small towns and villages.
Kotor | Beautiful Places to Visit in Europe
Top Experiences: Visit Perast, take a boat ride out to Our Lady of the Rocks, explore Kotor, hike the Ladder of Kotor, and climb the city walls of Kotor for jaw-dropping views.

How Long Should You Spend in the Bay of Kotor? Two days is just enough time to visit the highlights. Add on a few more days to day trip to the nearby coastal towns and the interior of Montenegro.

24. Venice, Italy

Venice is romantic, historic, and gorgeous. The canals, the gondolas, the architecture, and the colorful towns of Murano and Burano make this is one of Europe's grandest cities to visit.

Top Experiences: Wander the streets of Venice, visit St. Mark's Basilica, climb the Campanile di San Marco for a bird's eye view over Venice, walk across the Rialto Bridge, tour Doge's Palace, day trip to Murano and Burano, and ride a gondola.

How Long Should You Spend in Venice? Two to three days is the perfect amount of time to explore the highlights of Venice and venture off-the-beaten-path.

25. The Faroe Islands, Denmark

Located northwest of Scotland is a jaw-dropping archipelago of rugged mountains and dramatic waterfalls. For photographers and outdoor adventures, the Faroe Islands are a must-see destination.
shutterstock.com/Dmitry Pistrov
Top Experiences: See Múlafossur waterfall, visit the fishing villages, see the puffins at Mykines, hike to Sørvágsvatn Lake, and go kayaking or rock climbing.

27. Bavaria, Germany

Bavaria is located in southern Germany and this is the land of fairytale castles, Oktoberfest, and the Alps. With the Alps to the south and idyllic towns dotting its hillsides, Bavaria is a beautiful and romantic destination.
Neuschwanstein | Beautiful Places to Visit in Europe
Top Experiences: Visit Neuschwanstein, tour the salt mines in Berchtesgaden, visit the Eagle's Nest, take in the view from Zugspitze, explore the Bavarian towns and villages, go to Oktoberfest, and tour Munich.

How Long Should You Spend in Bavaria? Seven to ten days gives you plenty of time to visit the highlights of Bavaria and day trip to nearby places in Austria.

28. The High Tatras, Slovakia

The High Tatras of Slovakia are an outdoor paradise. Jagged mountains, emerald green lakes, rugged hiking trails, and cable cars all come together to form the perfect adventure destination. Go on short, easy walks around alpine lakes, ride a cable car to one of the highest peaks in Slovakia, and hike to Rysy, the tallest mountain in Poland. If you are an avid hiker, this is one of the best places to visit in Europe.

Top Experiences: Hike one or all of the many epic hiking trails, ride the cable car to Lomnicky štít, explore Slovak Paradise, visit the small Slovakian towns.

How Long Should You Spend in the Tatras? Two days would be the bare minimum that we would recommend but three or more days are ideal. This gives you plenty of time to go hiking, explore the towns, and visit Slovak Paradise, if this looks interesting to you.

29. Lake Bled, Slovenia

Lake Bled has all of the ingredients for the perfect getaway...a castle perched high on a hillside, a lovely little island to visit, hiking trails, secluded swimming spots, and a fantastic sweet treat.

How Long Should You Spend in Lake Bled? One day is all you need to visit the highlights. Many people do this as a day trip from Ljubljana. But if you have the time, plan on spending several days here or in nearby Lake Bohinj to fully experience this region.

30. The Bastei, Germany

The Bastei is one of Germany's most unique landscapes. Giant pinnacles of sandstone rock tower over the Elbe River and the green countryside. Spanning these pinnacles is a stone bridge, dramatic in its appearance, as it connects these towers of rock and then seems to lead nowhere.

The term Bastei refers to the jagged groups of sandstone rocks located in Saxon Switzerland National Park. Hundreds of years ago, the Neurathen Castle stood on these rocks. Now, not much of that castle remains. It's the bridge, Basteibrücke (Bastion Bridge), that is the main attraction here.

How to Visit the Bastei: The Bastei is located in Saxon Switzerland National Park, 40 km east of Dresden, Germany. You can visit this place on a day trip from Dresden or Berlin.

If you can't think of a present or historical person that has positively changed the world, here is a link to start with.

What makes a person influential? Is it the amount of following they had? The lasting impact they had on the world? The number of people who have read what they had to say, even after their death? Or the fact that they made their way into our school curriculums and will probably be studied until the end of the world? We're no historians, but we'd say all those things matter.

But here's the thing about being influential: it's not for everyone. It takes a certain kind of person to stand out in a crowd and be heard, let alone listened to. No charismatic leader or incredible genius has ever changed the world by staying in their room and keeping all that talent hidden.

Let's take a look at some of the men and women who have made their mark on society - either in politics, technology, or culture - and have become household names. This list isn't exhaustive by any means, but it's a good place to start if you want to know more about the most influential people of all time!
