Vietnam among the 44 most beautiful travel destinations in the world – Discover Hoi An!

The question of the most beautiful place in the world concerns many travelers and depends heavily on personal preferences. In a recent list by Time Out magazine, the 44 most beautiful travel destinations in the world have been published, a compilation based on the experiences of travel writers and including various breathtaking locations. Not only world-famous sights should be highlighted, but also lesser-known treasures that captivate travelers.

Among the most prominent destinations on the list is Victoria Falls in Africa, which is considered the largest waterfalls in the world. They are located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe and reach a height of over 100 meters and a width of 1700 meters. The impressive fog, which can be heard from a distance of up to 40 kilometers, attracts numerous tourists every year. The best time to travel is at the end of the rainy season between November and April.

Cultural and Natural Wonders

Another fascinating destination is St. John’s Cathedral in Malta, a stunning example of Baroque architecture decorated with 24-karat gold and murals by Mattia Preti. The floor of the cathedral is made of over 400 tombstones of the Knights of St. John, demonstrating the cultural significance and historical richness of this site.

Choquequirao in Peru is an ancient Inca city that is less visited than Machu Picchu but is just as impressive. Access is entirely on foot and requires a two-day hike through the varied landscape. Situated high above the Apurímac River, this Inca site is both visually and physically fascinating.

Another insider tip is Lillafüred in Hungary, a fairytale holiday resort that is considered the gateway to Bükk National Park and is surrounded by waterfalls and caves. Nature lovers and adventurers can get their money's worth here.

Fascinating landscapes

The Altiplano in Bolivia offers travelers a breathtaking landscape with colorful lakes, impressive mountains and vast salt flats. The picturesque Bay of Kotor in Montenegro, known for its narrow passages between water and rocks as well as the charming old town, also attracts many visitors.

The Rainbow Mountains in Zhangye Geological National Park in China represent another extraordinary natural spectacle created by tectonic shifts.

In Vietnam, Hà Giang and Hoi An are two highlights recognized in the list. Hà Giang is known for its winding passes, terraced fields and cultural diversity with 43 ethnic groups, while Hoi An is charming with its picturesque silk lanterns and gold-colored riverside townhouses.
