The most picturesque place you have ever been in Europe?

[Watermelon999]

Where is your most memorable place specifically for nice views and/or architecture?

Looking for somewhere special for either a few days or a week in June or July?

Has anywhere ever blown you away?

Anacapri:

So many places in Andalusia - both bigger towns and tiny little villages. We stumbled across Castillo de Castellar at sunset, for instance, and it was magical.

The Alps in Winter.

grindelwald...
also gisselbach falls near interlaken
perfect place to go in the summer

Lake como as well. hiking up in the mountains, looking down on the lake

Been to? The Azures.

*Azores even.

Lake Maggiore in northern Italy. Absolutely stunning.

Cinque Terre, Amalfi Coast, Capri, Venice, Santorini.

Lake Bled. Looks like Disney designed it, it doesn’t seem real. Ditto the caves in Slovenia.

Anywhere in Italy. Cities are beautiful, countryside stunning, coastal areas are lovely. The people are friendly, the food is great. I think I was supposed to be Italian and maternity hospital gave me to the wrong mother.

Innsbruck is also top of my list - the mountains everywhere you look. We regularly go to Achensee which is a lake ringed by mountains about 45 minutes from Innsbruck - absolutely breathtaking and perhaps my favourite views on the planet.

I haven't been for years but I have amazing memories of Ljubljana and of the Julian Alps.

The coastline of Croatia.

I was also blown away staying at an agriturismo in deepest Tuscany because you could see the Milky Way so clearly at night.

Has anyone mentioned Cuenca in Spain? UNESCO World Heritage site.

Quite a few, but the one that really comes to mind is St Ninian's Isle in the Shetlands. It probably helped that it was a beautiful, sunny day.

I was surprised by how much I loved New York.

It’s not my usual favourite view, but the Bahamas are too far to go for a few days.

@Overwhelmedmum1 OP was asking for Europe recommendations I think :)

OMG it’s even in the title 🤦‍♀️

Sorry. Perhaps another time…

Lake Como.

The US is off-topic. But since you’ve put your foot in the door, I would say that American natural beauty is every bit as incredible as Europe’s, and then some.

Frigiliana, Spain, it’s approximately 9km north of Nerja. The views are stunning and the typical Spanish whitewashed buildings are stunning.

Also the Isle of Arran, it’s Scotland in miniature. Stunning scenery, plenty of outdoor activities and really friendly accommodating locals putting up with tourism, although it’s a massive income stream for the island. We stay in Lochranza in the North, we like to get away from it all, it’s very dodgy for mobile signals which we love, we’re on holiday after all and want peace and quiet.

Minack Theatre in Cornwall (probably not what you are looking for this time...)

Croatia's Dalmation coast and islands. Stunning and peaceful.

Another Slovenia fan! Loved the lakes, mountains and the caves! The countryside too!

Sarlat/SW Dordogne

Sunset on Kolocep island, Croatia.

Cruising into Kotor, Montenegro.

Longstock Park Water Gardens, England.
