Be Overwhelmed by Beauty at These 7 European Destinations
4. Amalfi Coast, Italy
Similar to Santorini, the Amalfi coast features winding roads and rugged cliffs with villages perched atop them. However, the Amalfi Coast differs from Santorini in that the buildings are not bathed in white, but splashed with a sea of colors.
Located in the Campania region of Italy, the Amalfi Coast stretches along 50-kilometers of pristine beaches and rugged coastlines. Dotted along the way are beaches, fishing villages, wine vineyards and lemon groves.
On your trip to the gorgeous Amalfi Coast, you can dine on local Italian cuisine (which includes quite a bit of seafood), explore tiny Italian villages, laze around on the beach, take boat tours and even go on hiking tours. The Amalfi Coast truly has something for everyone.
5. White Cliffs of Dover
Located in the city of Dover, United Kingdom, the breathtaking white cliffs are not to be missed. Wildlife enthusiasts can take tours to spot the locals of the animal variety and the visitor centre offers great homemade English food.
History lovers will be delighted to learn that the White Cliffs of Dover are home to the Fan Bay Deep Shelter, a series of tunnels and shelters purpose built for World War II. They are now open for touring.
If you’re not sure you have time to make a trip out for the White Cliffs of Dover, don’t worry — you can simply catch a ferry from France, or catch a train from the heart of London in just over an hour.
Embark on an unforgettable journey through Africa's diverse landscapes, vibrant cultures and breathtaking wildlife. Africa travel awaits.
6. Interlaken, Switzerland
Tucked away in the Swiss Alps, Interlaken is the perfect destination for fans of snow sports. Not only will you find amazing views, world class dining and cute little Swiss chalets, but in the winter you can also fulfil all of your snow activity urges with sledding, toboggan rides, skiing and snowboarding.
In the summer, you can channel your inner Heidi and hike in the Alps to take in even more of the spectacular scenery.
If you’re seeking a bit of a thrill, you can also book yourself a place hanggliding from the Alps — which is probably the best way to take in the fantastic view. When you’re not busy with your adventures, you can go into town and shop for watches, something the Swiss are quite known for.
