Where is the best place to visit? Ten places you definitely need to visit (34 photos)
Lately, links like “Forty incredibly beautiful places you need to visit this summer” have been popping up on various LiveJournals and Facebook. You open it, and there are simply forty unearthly beauties presented, with incredibly smart contrast. It’s clear that such lists are collected by people sitting at home and surfing the Internet in search of beautiful photos.
I decided to make my own list. "Leva"s world Top 10" - ten incredible places where I myself have been, I can vouch for them, and getting to them is not very difficult. Moreover, nine of them are places that I knew nothing about before planning a trip there - let's say that for the most part these places are widely known in narrow circles (The list is not in order, so don’t think that standard one is more beautiful and incredible than number ten.)
1. Fushimi Inari, Kyoto, Japan
Shrine of the goddess Inari, in the town of Fushimi on the outskirts of Kyoto. It is famous for its orange torii gate. The gates line the paths so tightly that they form orange tunnels through which you can walk. The symbolism of the fox - the messenger of Inari - is visible throughout the territory. You can easily wander here all day.
The entire complex is located on a healthy wooded hill. The gate harmonizes perfectly with the surrounding greenery. Going out and looking at the tunnel from the outside is just as interesting as walking inside.
The paths go up the hill where the temples are located, and from where the beautiful view southern part of Kyoto. There are about a dozen small shops along the paths. Their caretakers sell drinks and cookies, and can even pour you some tea. Houses are passed down from generation to generation. The owners also monitor the cleanliness and order in their area.
Getting to Fushimi Inari from the center of Kyoto is easy - you can walk for an hour, or you can take the subway in 15 minutes. By the way, this is the only place on the list where I have been three times!
2. Huangshan Mountains, China
The Huangshan Mountains Nature Reserve is probably the most beautiful place in the mountains I have ever been. Having recently returned from China, I wrote a lot about our trip to these mountains: , .
In the park there are good concrete paths through all the mountains; there is no need to climb there, but you do have to walk a lot up and down steps. Try to go in the spring, when it is still cool and there are not many tourists. I advise you to spend at least one night there in the mountains (there are hotels). If you don’t have a lot of time, it’s better not to waste it (and energy) on foot - ride cable car, and take a longer walk at the top.
We traveled from Shanghai - by night train, then by minibus and bus. .
3. Petra, Jordan
Petra is an abandoned city in the desert mountains of Jordan. After a long narrow gorge, which served as a natural defense in ancient times, a view opens up to huge classical facades carved into the rocks. (One of them appeared at the end of the third Indiana Jones film.)
I remember when I visited Petra, it made a huge impression on me (much more than, say, the Pyramid of Cheops and the Sphinx, which I visited on the same trip). I wrote about this place then.
The easiest way to get here is from Eilat in Israel - it is located right at the Jordanian border, and from there it’s a one and a half to two hour taxi ride. Taxi drivers on the Jordanian side are just waiting to take tourists to Petra - the main thing is to bargain with them (in 2009 we paid about 50 dinars). Don't be alarmed if you have to change from one taxi to another a couple of times. In the end you will pay as much as agreed. You can probably also fly to Amman and take a taxi from there.
4.Machu Picchu, Peru
Perhaps the only place on this list that I knew about long before going there. Basically, I went to Peru to see him. But it's worth it. Like Petra, Machu Picchu is an abandoned city that has been forgotten by everyone for many centuries. (Although there is a version that the city was a monastery.) It was “discovered” again about a hundred years ago, excavated and turned into a world-class tourist attraction.
Due to huge demand, it is worth taking care of tickets in advance (only a limited number of people are allowed per day). You can also come to the city along the Inca Trail - there are options for this hike for a week, half a week, and a couple of days (of which you actually walk the first day, and the second - in the city). When booking, be sure to pay extra money to climb the small mountain Huayna Picchu. The forty-minute climb is worth the effort - the mountain offers an amazing view of the entire complex.
To get to Machu Picchu you need to fly to Cusco, and from there take a couple of hours by train. By the way, we were informed that in the second part of the name it is important to pronounce the letter “k”. The word "picchu" means "mountain" in the local language, and "picchu" means "pussy".
5. City of Arts and Sciences, Valencia, Spain
This "City" is a complex of several ultra-modern buildings by the architect Santiago Calatrava. Each of them rivals the much more famous Sydney Opera House in beauty, and together they form one of the more futuristic compositions you will see anywhere outside of a cinema. The complex includes buildings for an opera, a three-dimensional cinema, a science museum and an aquarium. All this is framed by beautiful gardens and swimming pools.
The "City" is located on the outskirts of Valencia, about an hour's walk from historical center. A river once flowed here. It was redirected due to floods, and a city park was made in the riverbed. The city of the future was built on its territory in the late 1990s - early 2000s. Don’t be lazy to get to it - I personally know a couple of people who, being in Valencia, never saw this beauty.
But you can actually get to Valencia from Barcelona - the train takes a couple of hours, and in principle it’s possible to go for a day if you get up early enough.
6. Jokulsarlon - ice lagoon, Iceland
Don't try to pronounce the name of this magical place. At least I never tried - I called it “Jo-something lagoon”, but Google understands “ice lagoon” perfectly well. It is located a few hours' drive from Reykjavik, and is a bay connected to the sea by a narrow canal. A glacier descends from the mountains into the bay, from which blocks of ice break off.
These blocks, the size of a car to a subway car, float slowly and quietly. But sometimes they collide and then you can watch in slow motion how mountains turn over. The ice is pure, gives off a blue color, but sometimes with black layers - this is a mark of volcanic eruptions.
At low tide, icebergs float through a narrow channel into the sea, and at high tide they turn back. When the former encounter the latter, a unique “wall to wall” action occurs.
Fly to Reykjavik, take a car. You can also take a boat ride around the lagoon, but even this is not necessary. The main thing is to sit on the shore and take in the greatness of nature.
7. Mont Saint Michel, France
Imagine a castle like from Disneyland, only real, medieval. Now imagine that he is standing on a huge rock in the middle of the sea. Here it is - the fabulous Abbey of Saint-Michel. Located near the coast of Normandy, at low tide Saint-Michel stands in the middle of an expanse of wet sand. And at high tide, the entire space around it is filled with water. Until an isthmus was built in the last century that never floods, getting into the castle was a life-threatening adventure.
Inside the castle-fortress there is a small town. It seems like there is even a place to stay overnight (but there are few places and they are expensive). It’s much more affordable to stay in one of the hotels outside, and then, at dawn, go wander around the territory of Saint-Michel before it fills with tourists.
In the evening the abbey is illuminated, but the lights are turned off quite early - we were never able to photograph it. We visited Saint-Michel by car, but it is quite possible to get here from Paris without it - by train and bus. There are even one-day tours, but then you won’t be able to see the castle either in the evening or in the first rays of dawn.
8. Antelope Canyon, Arizona, USA
The only place on this list in the United States, Antelope Canyon is located near the much more famous Grand Canyon. You will most likely visit both in one trip. So, don’t be lazy to drive an extra hour by car to look at Antelope.
It is located near the town of Page, Arizona. Actually, from there you will be picked up on a special tour bus by the Indians who take tourists to Antelope. It seems like you can’t get there on your own - you have to go with one of the tour operators, since the canyon is located on the land of a frost reservation.
The visit takes no more than a couple of hours, including the round trip. The canyon is small, one might even say intimate, but the beautiful sandy curves of the walls, on which the rays streaming from above play, are a very worthwhile sight.
We flew to Phoenix, from which it was about five hours away by car, but it seemed like we could fly directly to Page.
9. Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland
Lauterbrunnen is a hidden valley in the middle of Switzerland. She was huddled among two steep walls of the Swiss Alps. The houses of several villages located in the valley look funny and miniature in comparison with the gigantic steep walls, from which powerful waterfalls flow in many places.
To get to Lauterbrunnen you need to take a mountain train up from a town called Interlaken. Fortunately, the railway system in Switzerland works about as well as their famous clock. You won't get lost anywhere, you won't be late anywhere.
Once in Lautenbrunnen you can walk along the valley itself, or you can go further up, choosing the left or right “bank”. There will be beauty on both sides, mountains and waterfalls. From here you can climb to a place called Schilthorn - favorite place in the world of my friend Macatun.
10. Chefchaouen, Morocco
The last place on my list is in Africa. Don't worry - it's safe, North Africa - Morocco. The city of Chefchaouen is traditionally painted in sky blue and white, and is very different from the other cities of the Maghreb that I have seen. (Those wear sandy ocher shades.) In the color and randomness of its old town, Chefchaouen is a bit like Santorini, but with a much more exotic flavor.
Unlike most of Morocco, where, in addition to Berber and Arabic, they mostly speak French, Chefchaouen speak Spanish quite well (which, in principle, did not help us much during the visit).
Walking through the labyrinthine streets of the local medina is beautiful in different ways both day and night - you feel like you are in a Middle Eastern fairy tale.
You can get here by taking a taxi from Tangier (where ferries go from Spain). Don’t forget to bargain with the driver (regardless of the “official” list of prices that he will show you). A very unique place lies a little out of the way - in the western part of the country, but deserves a detour to look there.
In conclusion
This list does not pretend to be objective, and someone will probably have objections like “How could you not include XXXXXX?!” or “But YYYYYY is a complete tourist crap!” (yes, I’m thinking about you right now!) Share. I'll know where to go next.Still don't know where to go to have a fun time? Don't worry, we are here to help you.

It often happens that we judge a particular city only by its main attractions. However, any city, like any person, the more you get to know it, the more it opens up with new, unexpected facets. Below are 10 must-see places in Moscow. They are very interesting for understanding the multifaceted image of the capital.
Planetarium

Moscow City observation deck
Now it is not at all necessary to go abroad in order to see skyscrapers. Moscow has its own. They became its integral attraction.
The Moscow City project can confidently be called the most ambitious and expensive long-term construction project in Russia. Many are still debating its feasibility and its appearance, which distorts the historical appearance of the capital. However, Moscow is so diverse that high-tech architectural cacophony has become its modern feature.
Moscow can now be seen in all its glory from a bird's eye view. One of observation platforms located on the 58th floor of the Empire Tower. From here you can clearly see Moscow State University. M.V. Lomonosov, Ostankino TV Tower, White House, Cathedral of Christ the Savior, etc.

From metro station Novoslobodskaya or Dostoevskaya to st. Oktyabrskaya, 2/4.
Savvinskoye Compound
Few Muscovites know about its existence, because it is hidden from the eyes of passersby, while being located in the very center. While walking along Tverskaya, be sure to look into the arch of house No. 6.
A beautiful architectural monument will open before you, which was built in 1907 by architect Kuznetsov in a fabulous Russian style with decorative elements of Baroque and Art Nouveau. Compound - apartment building of the Savvinsky Monastery. I wonder what it's up to
1937 was located directly on Tverskaya. In 1938-40. the houses on the even side of the street were to be moved to the north. Many buildings were mercilessly demolished, but the Savvinsky courtyard was lucky - with the help of special technology developed by the engineer Handel, it was moved deeper into the block onto a new foundation. It’s hard to imagine, but a structure weighing 23 thousand tons was moved on the night of November 4, 1939. And, what is quite surprising, without evicting its residents.
The world is full of amazing, magical and mysterious places. Gardens, caves, luxurious beaches and ancient cities... Be sure to visit these very beautiful places peace!

Utah is known for its beautiful national parks. The Red Mountains region is home to some of the most iconic views, from striking arches to jagged canyons. Although this place seems rather inhospitable, it is very popular among holidaymakers.
