5. Phi Phi Islands, Thailand

Phi Phi Islands, Thailand. Phi Phi Islands are truly a paradise on Earth. More impressive landscape beauties can not be found all over the world. Beautiful beaches, clear turquoise waters and incredibly beautiful cliffs covered with dense tropical greenery make this place ideal for relaxation.

Caño Cristales in Spanish means a crystal river. Thanks to the various types of mosses and algae growing at the bottom, the illusion is created that the river’s waters are painted in various colors: red, blue, green, yellow and even black. Therefore, Canyo Cristalis is sometimes called the river of five colors. A real miracle is to see firsthand such indescribable beauty.

Socotra Islands are a World Heritage Site. They are quite inaccessible and adapted only for ecotourism. Restaurants, hotels and a high level of service? Forget about it, because here the first roads were laid just a couple of years ago. However, a visit to Socotra will be the most unforgettable trip of your life if you decide to suffer discomfort. To be here is like getting to another planet. The plant world of this land is unique: a huge number of plants growing on the island, you will not see anywhere else. Such exceptional flora originated here due to the isolation of the island and the suitable climate.

8. Uyuni, Bolivia

Uyuni, Bolivia. Uyuni is the largest salt lake in the world. But an interesting feature of this lake is not only in its scale. Uyuni is a solid salt marsh with a smooth mirror surface, on which you can ride a car. In fact, Uyuni is a huge block of salt. The lake has high economic value for Bolivia, due to the extraction of its colossal reserves of salt. Here, salt is not only used for food; it is even used as a building material. Therefore, travelers have the opportunity to settle in a real salt hotel.

The wonderful Lake Kliluk is located in British Columbia. The waters of the lake are rich in various minerals and upon evaporation, many spots of minerals are formed on the surface, which, depending on the time of year, are painted in different colors - an incredibly amazing sight. In addition to its magical appearance, Kliluk is also famous for its healing properties.

Beauty is considered a purely subjective concept, nevertheless contemplating the most beautiful places in the world that nature has worked on, we can come to the realization that the real natural beauty that surrounds us should not go unnoticed. Traditional tourist routes usually do not cover even a small part of the world that is created thanks to the most talented “architects”, who are nature and time. A detailed overview of the most amazing in terms of aesthetics and unique landscape features of the planet’s places will make it possible to understand what the true beauty of the universe is.

First place - Bolivia. The beauty of Uyuni Lake

Perhaps it’s worth starting our top with this unique salt lake, which occupies the largest area in the world. Many call this Uyuni a place where time slows down. Surprising is the fact that the surface of the lake can be overcome on foot. During a rainy Uyuni undergoes some changes, becoming as a result a large-scale mirror area of \u200b\u200ba very beautiful view. At a distance of three kilometers from the city of the same name, there is a cemetery, which was the last stop for a large number of steam locomotives, which used to serve as vehicles for transporting various minerals (they were mined in the territory of local mines).

The solonchak surface represents a perfectly optimal alternative to the open spaces of the ocean in terms of such important aspects as checking and tuning the operation of instruments designed to carry out the sensing process using satellites in Earth orbit. The territory of the lake is occupied by entire islands, the main flora of which are cacti. This spectacle is incredibly controversial, but at the same time amazing enough that it will be necessary to capture it with a camera.

Second Place - Cinque Terre

A place called Cinque Terre is considered the most beautiful national park in Italy, which located in the eastern part of the Riviera. Such a picturesque place as the Cinque Terre is fanned by the spirit of the Middle Ages in Italy. The territory is occupied by about five small villages, the architectural features of which are represented in the form of defensive structures erected back in those days when pirate raids on this area were often made. A reliable level of land protection was ensured thanks to the rocky coast, combining at the same time unforgettable beauty and serious danger.

Such a wonderful corner is filled with romance. Before the attention of tourists there are many stone beaches and narrow trails. One such trail is called the “road of love”, and there are a lot of legends connected with it, in which the most noble and temperamental representatives of Europe are represented.

Third place - Pamukkale

Now, perhaps, it is worth turning to the southwestern part of Turkey, which is characterized by a unique and magnificent geological phenomenon - calcareous tufa, or rather rocky terrain, created on the basis of this natural material. This place is the main source of streams that flow down the massive steps of stone. Here many waterfalls and unique pools are formed, characterized by an unusual origin. Cotton castle - this is the poetic name that was given to the amazing landscape by the inhabitants themselves. Thanks to the thermal springs and the natural terraces of Pamukkale, located at the foot of the mountains, an excellent view is created that attracts many tourists to this area every year. This picture is represented by a storehouse of water saturated with a large amount of calcium, against the general background of an excellent landscape, which is represented by white tones.

Fourth place - Yunnan rice terraces

Another simply stunningly beautiful place on the planet is the paddy field area, which is located in China. This area is located in the mountainous regions of the province called Yunnan. At the terraces, the extent is characterized by several tens of kilometers, exactly repeating the bend of the general relief. The general uniqueness of this area lies in the main character of the ecological type system, which has formed independently. Planting of rice is carried out when February comes, because during this period the soil is updated due to mountain mines. The beginning of the autumn period is considered the time when residents begin to harvest. The tourism season begins by the end of autumn, continuing until spring. It is during this time period that natural terraces become the main object of attention of tourists, striking primarily with the mirror-like type of surface reflecting the rays of the sun, while creating a wonderful color spectrum.

Fifth place - the beauty of the blue hole in Belize

The central part of the atoll (one of the many objects related to the coral barrier reef near the coast of Belize) is represented by the most beautiful landscape - a blue hole, which appears as a cave disappearing somewhere in the depths. A natural phenomenon of a natural nature is very common, but it is this abyss that has particularly incredible dimensions (the depth level is about one hundred and twenty meters, and the diameter of the cave is about three hundred meters). Extreme divers are especially attracted by this place. A deep-sea cave can be a real paradise for people who have turned diving into the real meaning of life. Jacques Yves Cousteau conducted extensive research here, which brought great popularity in the future of this area.

Sixth place - beautiful views of the Arizona wave

In the area of \u200b\u200bthe border separating the states of Arizona and Utah, there is a plateau on which there are sandy rocks of an incredibly beautiful form, called waves, due to funny uneven shapes and colors with a high degree of saturation. In order to make the way to this amazing place, professional photographers have to go a long way: there is no smooth road in this area. The creation of a unique structure of the magnificent landscape took place over a long period of time through the transformation of dunes from sand into rocks of solid type.

Seventh place - features of Jiuzhaigou National Park

In the southeast of China is the territory of Sichuan province, attracting a huge amount   tourists. And all thanks to the beautiful reserve Jiuzhaigou, which occupies the server area. It is a unique natural site, under strict protection. Waterfalls and lakes in large numbers are hiding from curious tourists by the mountains of Tibet. These waters are called colored, because they carry a special composition.

Not every person is able to get to this reserve, nevertheless, not so long ago, a mountainous region acquired an airport, which provides the opportunity to get to this area directly from the territory of Shanghai. In order for tourists to feel maximum comfort in this area, the local workers ennobled the mountain trails.

In the old days, the territory was occupied by nine separate settlements.

Eighth place - Features of Plitvice Lakes

The territory of Croatia, which is considered very mysterious and racy edge. First of all, I would like to turn to the Plitvice Lakes, which are located in a large-scale national state park. The nature of the surrounding nature sets the mystical atmosphere. The territory of the park is surrounded by very dense impassable forests, which locals call the "Devil's Forest".

Almost each of the sixteen lakes is located within a mountain valley. There is a connection between them, due to which, thanks to the cleanest mountain streams, grandiose noisy fountains are formed. From year to year there are more and more waterfalls, because water causes the destruction of limestone rocks. The total area of \u200b\u200bwater is about two square kilometers. The location of the waterfalls themselves is observed at various levels. Thanks to the reservoirs, two picturesque complexes are being formed - the Upper Lakes and the Lower Lakes.

Ninth Place - Valley Features 10 Peaks. Canada

Canada is considered a harsh region, but incredibly attractive due to the beauty of the "cold" nature. Here is one beautiful place, distinguished by its incredible natural beauty, which is called the “10 peaks” valley, which is located right at the very foot of 10 mountains, bearing the same name Vekckemna. This area is located not so far from the famous Moraine Lake, which is of glacial origin. In this area, the workers laid hiking trails in a very large number, which provide an opportunity to give a real assessment of the local attractions. There is one mountain that bears a very bizarre name - “twenty dollars”, because for some time an image of an identical nature was captured on the surface of the bill, which has the same merit.

Tenth place - spectacular views of Mount Roraima

Beautiful mountain is a kind of symbol that characterizes the neighborhood of states South America - Venezuela and Brazil. Roraima represents mountain ranges located in a very long chain that rise directly above the wilds of the great Amazon. This locality gained great popularity at the time when Conan Doyle’s novel appeared, which told about a time era when our planet was inhabited by dinosaurs who chose mountain ranges as a reliable haven. Due to the unusual landscape and unique atmosphere in this territory, a character of complete detachment from the real world is created, representing for many literary figures an inexhaustible source of inspiration.

Eleventh place - the territory of the Maldives

A huge archipelago containing many (more than 1000) small islands, considered to be separately a true tourist paradise, located in the Indian Ocean. Water, which has a turquoise hue, an area of \u200b\u200bsandy white beaches, exotic fruits - all this great diversity encompass the Maldives. This area is considered ideal and simply heavenly excellent to spend winter or summer vacations here, to actively have fun or spend a honeymoon.

Here, anyone can go diving and bring this type of leisure to perfection, because the level of visibility under the water surface is almost perfect. You can also visit separate uninhabited islands, which can be perfect for solitude and romantic dates.

Moscow is one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Russia, and there are more attractions per square meter in it than in many European capitals. Sometimes even the native Muscovites are at a loss about where to go and what to see. So that the nerve cells of guests and residents of the capital do not burn in the throes of choice, we made top 30 most beautiful places in Moscow. The list includes the corners of the capital, which received good reviews on travel sites and profile review sites.

Pharmaceutical Garden

The oldest botanical garden in Russia is open to visitors every day from 10 in the morning. You can sign up for an excursion, but perhaps it is most pleasant to just wander around it. The garden is good at any time of the year; it’s cool in summer and warm in winter. Some idea of \u200b\u200bthe beauties hiding behind a modest name can give Instagram garden.

Manor Arkhangelsk

A beautiful monument of architecture of Catherine’s times with all the signs of the time - columns, balustrades, pseudo-antique busts and medallions with the Yusupov family coat of arms. For the beauty of the buildings and the surrounding park, the estate was nicknamed "Versailles near Moscow".

ENEA

Well, who does not know the Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy! After spending the last couple of decades in the form of a collapse with trays and peddlers, after reconstruction VDNH miraculously changed. Now you can indulge in the joys of cultural relaxation there, both independently and with friends or family. There are exhibitions, museums, interactive expositions (where they give a touch and try on), bike rental and even a boat station.

Sparrow Hills

The left bank of Moscow, rising to a height of 80 m above the river, is one of the most beautiful places in Moscow. It is noteworthy not only for its complex and interesting relief, but also for the observation deck, which offers a wonderful view of the city - you can see not only the gigantic buildings of Moscow City, but also the Novodevichy Convent and even the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.

Manor High mountains

Surprisingly, in the very center of Moscow this pearl is hiding - a real 19th-century park with cast-iron lanterns, vases, classical sculpture and round rotunda arbors. Now the estate has a rehabilitation center for patients, but you can walk around the park without hindrance.

Griboedovsky Wedding Palace

One of the most beautiful registry offices in Moscow is located in a building where rich merchants lived before the revolution. Apparently, a certain share of the heritage of the former owners has survived to this day - the traditional Stalinist splendor is combined here with the richness and luxurious redundancy of the beginning of the last century. Once this registry office steadily occupied the first places in popularity among Muscovites who want to bind each other by marriage; since then his positions have been a little shaken, however he is still one of the most beautiful. And crowded.

Catherine Park

A small but very beautiful stretch of wildlife, sandwiched between two highways and one square. Surprisingly quiet and peaceful place (especially considering its location). And not even too crowded.

Kiev metro station

The personification of the magnificent splendor of the Stalin era - against the background of the white walls, gilded stucco molding and bright mosaics, on which the Ukrainian people fraternize with the Russian, stand out most clearly. And what luxurious fixtures are there! Do not forget to walk through the southern lobby and appreciate all the Byzantine wealth of mosaic images.

Manor Kolomenskoye

The oldest building of Kolomenskoye Manor is the Church of the Ascension of the Lord flying, as if directed toward the sky, one of the best examples of tent architecture. You can also admire the samples of wooden architecture miraculously preserved from past centuries - both sacred and economic.

Krutitsky Compound

Surprisingly, once you get to Krutitsky Compound, you seem to find yourself in a different time - despite the busy highways nearby, the bees are buzzing quietly and the nettles are as if straight from childhood. On the territory you can see church buildings and churches of the XVI-XVII centuries that have survived to our days practically unchanged.

Manor Kuskovo

The manor built in the 18th century is of stunning beauty - it looks especially good from the side of the pond, in the calm waters of which the noble proportions of the building are reflected. It was in Kuskovo that films were shot about Russia that we lost, including a series about midshipmen.

Luzhkov bridge

Officially, the bridge is called "Tretyakovsky", but the people stubbornly connect it with the name of the former mayor of Moscow. The bridge is also called the "kiss" - it contains several iron trees, where lovers hang locks as a sign of the reliability of their feelings (since there are many people who want to hang locks, new trees are added regularly). One of the most beautiful places for walking in Moscow - the buildings of the Tretyakov Gallery begin on one side of it, and on the other lies the square of the 800th anniversary of Moscow.

Mayakovskaya metro station

Without a doubt, the most beautiful metro station in Moscow, characterized by laconicism and elegance of lines and colors. Its design once made a splash at an international exhibition in 1938, and since then it continues to delight the eyes of both Muscovites and visitors to the city. Muscovites love and know her to such an extent that when the Moscow government decided to install lamps with a different color shade, the public revolted. And the lamps were returned.

Beautiful Moscow City

But this is the fruit of Russia today, however, which inherited the gigantomania of the USSR. If to build, so in Europe - apparently, the project customers were guided by this principle. Moscow City, of course, looks amazing - the dizzying structures made of glass and chrome look especially favorably against the background of the usual city landscape.

Moscow Zoo

Get ready to spend at least 3-4 hours in the kingdom of wildlife - otherwise it would be impossible to at least briefly examine the whole variety of living beings. There are many animals there, they live in contentment and even delight people with the appearance of babies. Visiting the zoo is better from Wednesday to Friday - on Monday they have a sanitary day, on Tuesday part of the territory is not available (though tickets will be cheaper), and on Saturday and Sunday - uniform crowds.

Museum of military equipment

It is located in Victory Park, located near the metro station of the same name, so it is impossible to get lost on the way to it. One of the best places to relax with children, especially those who are delighted with military equipment. There are not only tanks and planes from the time of the war, but also cars, trains, the one-and-a-half praised by Simonov and much more.

Immaculate Conception Cathedral

One of the largest Catholic cathedrals in the country, built before the revolution. It is distinguished by its characteristic appearance, giving rise to associations with high Gothic buildings - the abundance of spiers and teeth irresistibly affects a romantic soul. The cathedral is located on a quiet street among the buildings of the middle of the last century; if you want to take a break from the Gothic, it's nice to just walk there.

Boring Garden

Once upon a time all the informals of Moscow hung out here. Since then, much has changed - informals moved to other sites, but the garden remained. Here it is still quiet, calm, beautiful - flowers, trees, gazebos, picturesque bridges over brooks and arbours braided by climbing plants. One of the most beautiful parks in Moscow, where it's nice to just walk and relax with your soul. And a few steps from Neskuchny Garden is one of them, it is called the "Temple of the Dragon."

Novodevichy Convent

One of the most beautiful places in Moscow - you can verify this yourself, having seen how elegant red and white towers of the ancient monastery are reflected in the water surface. Once it was founded for the nuns of the royal family and noble families of Russia and is still valid. However, admission requirements have become much lower. Nearby is the famous cemetery of the same name.

Ostankino Tower

This symbol and the personification of the Soviet era is famous not only for its impressive footage, but also for its viewing platform, which offers stunning views of the city. True, you can visit it only in the warm season - from May to October.

Patriarch's Ponds

Although the word "ponds" is plural, in reality there is only one pond - the rest fell asleep at the beginning of the 19th century. But around the rest they destroyed a public garden, which has survived to this day. It was in it, according to Mikhail Bulgakov, that two citizens met on a hot summer evening and there was a tragedy with Berlioz. Ponds can be visited at any time of the year - in summer it is cool and green, in winter they organize a skating rink, and during the rest of the year there are various city holidays.

Ploshchad Revolyutsii metro station

First of all, the Revolution Square is famous for its sculptures depicting ordinary Soviet people - peasants, students, workers, sportswomen, sailors, engineers and so on. Do not forget to stroke the border shepherd along the nose - this brings happiness.

Prechistenka Street

One of the oldest streets in Moscow, the first mention of which dates back to the 16th century. Since then, everything has been built at Prechistenka - from the 17th-century boyars' chambers to the apartment buildings of the beginning of the last century. A walk along it, especially with a guide in hand, will allow you to feel how Moscow lived and developed over the past four centuries.

Serebryany Bor Park

Here, a Muscovite feverish from gasoline exhausts can fall to the wide green breast of mother nature. The park itself is located on an artificial island, where, in addition to civilized squares with benches, there are sports grounds, several beaches, an ecological trail and aviaries with animals and birds. Several beaches are also equipped, including one nudist.

Spaso-Andronikov Monastery

Once the monastery towered on a steep bank over the Yauza, from which one name now remains. It houses one of the most beautiful temples in Moscow. We recommend it to visit if you are delighted with the architecture of pre-Mongol Rus, when the temples did not yet have bulbous domes, but modest helmets.

Tverskoy Boulevard

Tverskaya Boulevard honorably bears the title of one of the most beautiful streets in Moscow. In addition to beauty, it differs from also in length - almost a kilometer. Griboedov, Herzen and Tsvetaeva and the other color of the Moscow noble and intellectual elite once walked here. Much time has passed since then, and pedestrians have become simpler - but the boulevard is still beautiful.

Frunze Embankment

One of the favorite places for walks of both Muscovites and guests of the capital. It is located in one of the most beautiful places in Moscow, on the banks of the river of the same name, which offers fantastic views of the capital. Buildings are mostly from the beginning to the middle of the last century, styles range from constructivism to the splendor of Stalin's skyscrapers.

Manor Tsaritsyno

First of all, the estate is remarkable for its architecture - surprisingly, something like a Gothic cathedral grew on the plains of Moscow Region. It is this impression that the main palace complex of the estate makes, since Empress Catherine the Great wanted to have something original in her park. The manor even has its own ruins of a tower, which was never a whole building. But it inspires romantic thoughts - inevitably you begin to turn around, looking with your eyes for sinister monks, as well as ghosts of the knightly era.

Tsvetnoy Boulevard

Once upon a time here they traded flowers and seedlings with might and main (this is precisely why the boulevard got its name). Unlike other Moscow old streets, the architectural appearance of the boulevard is more or less homogeneous - the buildings here are mostly mid-XIX - mid-XX centuries. The fashionable constructivist building of Literaturnaya Gazeta is adjacent to the House of the Society of Gymnasts and the circus, next to which is a wonderful monument to Yu. Nikulin.

Japanese garden

A small but very cozy garden, broken by a real Japanese under the auspices of the Botanical Garden. Although the kindergarten itself is small - it is unlikely to wander around it for hours, admiring the blossoming sakura - but to meditate in the arbors on the sophistication of Japanese landscape architecture is the very thing.
