Where are the BEST places you’ve visited?

[Hubblebubbletripletrouble]

The thread about the worst holidays people have been on is really useful but also depressing....!

Where has everyone been that was amazing/beautiful/fun etc etc?

Rome
Barcelona
Kefalonia
The Grand Canyon
Cuba

Chefchaouen (Moroccan village all in blue)
Essaouria (Moroccan historical fishing town)
Sirmione/lake Garda (Italy)
Venice was nice for the architecture
Granada/ Alhambra
Cabo negro (Spain)
Yorkshire dales/Cumbria (not Wensleydale

Central Mexico. The people and the culture is amazing.

Orkney! I'd love to live there.

I like non-tourist places 

Why not Wensleydale MrsA?

Iguazu Falls. Breathtaking.
Chilean Fjords. Most of South America actually.
China. I always wanted to visit and couldn’t believe I was actually there!
Florence. I could never grow tired of it.
Venice in December. Deserted and eerie with only the sound of footsteps in the fog.
Utah, as a pp has said. The scenery is unreal.

California, paticularly the desert, so moody and beautiful
South of France, Provence and the Luberon
Jordan
Paris
Tokyo

Santorini- our cruise ship stopped off for 1 day and I had the best day with my best friend. Swam in the sea, sat and drank wine and coffee and ate freshly cooked bread overlooking the views.

Istanbul- first time I’d ever been to a city that’s not completely “European” and I was blown away by the sights, the friendliness of people.

Highlands of Scotland and Skye- amazing views, amazing food, that’s me sold.

Yosemite- climbing Half Dome was one of the greatest achievements of my life. I’ve been twice now and can’t get enough of the views every time. On the same road trip Monterey, 17 Mile Drive, Napa Valley were also all pretty special.

Vegas- Disneyland for grownups! Cirque du Soleil made me cry with wonder!

Skiing in Levi Finland. Beautiful scenery. Malawi as a pp mentioned - such a wonderful country. Have only been for work as it happens but would love to go back for a holiday on the lake. Also Scottish Highlands. Hopefully heading back there next year for lots of walking.

Botswana: I've spent a lot of time in Africa but it's my favourite country
NE Scotland

Ginandtonicformeplease planning to go to Lebanon next year as our first trip abroad for over 10 years, does red zone mean no go?

Iceland
Hungary including Budapest
Sri Lanka
Valencia
Biarritz
Montreaux
Salzburg.
Harrogate
Dartmouth
Cambridge
West of Ireland
Brazil

Too many lovely places

I went to New Zealand on my honeymoon (15 years ago), travelled the width and breadth of the country. Amazing. I especially loved the central South Island and its stunning lakes / mountains.

Loved Boston too.

Croatia was beautiful - we stayed on the Dalamation coast. Wonderful weather, wonderful people and just beautiful landscape and tasty food.
Barcelona - just wow. So much interesting stuff.
Vienna - again, wow. Every corner you turned you'd see something else beautiful. Plus cake.
The Tirol in Austria. Picture perfect and fairytale.

Oh gosh, how could I forget Sinagpore? Like the city of the future. Absolutely amazing.

Barcelona for the architecture especially Parc Guell.

Taj Mahal in the 1980s when you could just wander about, sit on it and gaze at the view.

Phantom Ranch at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Such a welcome sight spoilt a little by the thought of the climb back up pre dawn the next day!

Salisbury. Genuinely. It’s beautiful, full of history and lovely independent shops. It makes me so sad to think how they must have been struggling recently.

Oh yes I meant to add Singapore too. Amazing place.

Tasmania. Perfect!

Venice and Florence - both in November - beautiful and much easier to get into art galleries and so on
Granada - the Alhambra is the only place I've returned to
Cordoba
Croatia - brilliant to be able to combine time on islands with time in Split and Dubrovnik
Namibia - lots of wildlife, but also a wonderful coastline and beautiful deserts
Egypt - on a group tour which took us down the nile and to all the ancient sites. Wouldn't fancy doing it independently
Cuba!

What a great thread.

I'm going to say Tokyo and Kyoto

Loads of ideas here!

Matha’s Vineyard - unexpectedly beautiful
Buzios, Brazil - chilled, great beaches, bars, lovely people. Brazil in general in fact.
Iceland - it had such charm I looked into moving there
Salzburg - as others have said. Do the Sound of Music bus tour. Fabulous.

I’d agree with doing Venice in the late autumn, fantastic time to be there

Kefalonia
Cuba - we pootled about the country and loved every bit of it.
Stayed in a small town in switzerland but i cant remember the name. An uncle has a holiday home there.
Bareclona.
Kenya

crunchymum looks like we have the same travel agent . Is your next stop australia by any chance?

Mallorca. My favourite place ever

New York. We’ve lots of friends and family there and know it well. Feels like an extension of London and therefore like home. Would happily live there

Tel Aviv Amazing beaches, food and culture. It’s a European city with a Middle Eastern vibe, totally modern and liberal, secular and it’s also very mixed with no tension or under currents.
