As we know, when Louis Armstrong took his first small step on the lunar surface and looked at the Earth from space, he couldn’t help saying to himself: “What a wonderful world!” I’m kidding, of course. In fact, there’s only one true statement here - our world is really damn wonderful!

It’s wonderful even despite what we do with it, enthusiastically littering, polluting it with all kinds of waste. It’s wonderful, wherever we go. And in this viral thread on the AskReddit community, people open up about the most beautiful places they’ve ever been. And Bored Panda, especially for you, has made a selection of the most popular postings from there.

Someone Asks Online: "What Is The Most Beautiful Place You Have Ever Visited?", Receives 33 Answers Every corner of this planet has exquisite beauty. Iceland is particularly incredible in that it boasts both volcanic splendor and icy vistas. And it’s largely untouched. If you go there, tread softly. Keep it untamed, and beautiful.

It’s interesting that throughout the millennia of our history, people have not always traveled to see beautiful places in other countries. No, of course, the aesthetics of admiring the beauty of nature and architecture have always been there, but to go specifically to another city or country to enjoy this beauty - of course not.

People traveled on trade and military matters, made pilgrimages, moved between towns and entire countries - and around them, beautiful nature grew and blossomed in riotous color, architectural wonders towered. But few people actually paid attention to it...

It took until the middle of the 19th century for tourism per se, in a form even remotely close to modern times, to appear. Its inventor is considered to be the Englishman Thomas Cook, who in 1840 organized a group trip for members of the Temperance Society he had created to a convention in a neighboring town on a recently built railroad nearby.

ADVERTISEMENT

Cook looked after the group members carefully (mostly, however, he tried to distract them from the thoughts about booze - so he switched people's attention to the beauty around them), and the carefree trip was so enjoyable for folks that they wanted more. Then more and more - and so Thomas Cook organized the world's first travel agency. By the way, it was also the longest-lived - the company existed until 2019, when it successfully went bankrupt... but that's a completely different story.

I’ve lived in Europe and the Middle East, traveled far and wide, and Sequoia National Park has my heart. Those trees make me cry, the lives they’ve lived, the stories they could tell. Majestic giants.

The water color there is so blue, it's amazing to see up close. Croatia is a great place to visit as it has so much variety, from these national parks with pristine blue water and waterfalls, to Zagreb with it's statues and old architecture, to incredible beaches, to wonderful islands, and of course, lots of Game of Thrones locations. And it is the cleanest country I have ever visited. You can drive miles without seeing so much as a candy wrapper on the side of the road. Been there twice. And plan to return.

Cook's simple and pragmatic concepts were mixed with the philosophical views of Henry David Thoreau, who in the mid-19th century completely dominated the minds of American society. Thoreau's thoughts on nature, its beauty and simple life away from the bustle of the city became the cultural basis of tourism - and Cook and his colleagues provided a convenient opportunity to go to almost any point on the globe.

And since then we have been traveling, looking at the world - and admiring how beautiful it is. Following Neil Armstrong, who first saw our planet from the Moon. Following Louis Armstrong and his great immortal song.

In fact, by the way, sometimes we forget, behind the world-renowned beauties, how nice and great any point on Earth actually is. It’s quite enough just to see this beauty. The ancient sages rightly said: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." And in fact, many places that didn’t make this list also deserve to be there. So please feel free to share your favorite places as well, and never forget - the world is beautiful, completely, wherever you and I actually are.

I was there last year. Utterly breathtaking. And there is a tradition that to be married at the island church, the groom must carry the bride up the 99 steps. Slovenia as a whole is a very green country, full of beautiful lakes and forests.

Agree. It's a beautiful place but take care because there is wildlife there. If you camp away from the massive camping sites at the 'floor' of Yosemite, you need to let the rangers know when you will be coming back. If you aren't back by given day, they will look for you. Because..BEARS.
