As the end of 2020 draws near, we’re all looking forward to what 2021 has in store. The year promises to be full of exciting experiences and brand-new destinations, but there are also some old favourites that we just can’t seem to get enough of. If you haven’t already, check out our list of the most beautiful places in the world! We did our best to include old favourites like Paris, New York City, and Rome alongside more off-the-beaten-path locales like Lima, Peru; Yerevan, Armenia; and Chefoo, China.

1. Tallinn, Estonia

Estonia's capital, Tallinn, is a medieval gem with cobbled streets, unique culture and impressive architecture. Since regaining its independence in 1991 after 50 years of Soviet occupation, it has developed into an important financial centre. So if you're looking for somewhere to go that's of most people's radars, then Estonia is worth considering.

2. Porto, Portugal

Nestled along a stunning coastline, Portugal’s second-largest city remains one of Europe’s most underrated destinations. With cobblestone streets and magnificent architecture lining each street corner, Porto is full of surprises—and it offers breathtaking scenery and excellent food and wine to match. It’s no surprise that millions have visited since Porto first became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.

3. Paris, France

Paris, France is known for its rich culture and a deep sense of romance. Why not start a trip around Europe with a stop at one of Europe’s most popular destinations? Stroll along Paris’ famous Champs-Élysées and visit world-famous landmarks such as Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe. Experience an unforgettable moment on top of Montmartre, taking in spectacular views as far as Luxembourg Gardens.

4. Honolulu, Hawaii, United States

With a population of nearly one million, it’s no surprise that Honolulu is a popular tourist destination. What many don’t know about Honolulu is that it also serves as a great home base for travellers heading to other island destinations like Maui and Hawaii Island. Visitors who want to escape from city life will love vacationing in scenic and natural parts of Oahu, and those looking to get away from it all will enjoy trips around the tropical island chain.

5. Venice, Italy

Venice is a stunning city built on a lagoon in Italy. Boats are one of its most popular means of transportation. If you’re looking for something off-the-beaten-path, Venice is a great choice. It’s also one of those places that people have been dreaming about visiting since they were kids.

6. Kraków, Poland

Today, Kraków is a dynamic European city with an international outlook—and it’s also one of Poland’s most popular travel destinations. Home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites and a European Capital of Culture in 2016, Kraków is arguably one of Europe’s most charming cities.

7. New Orleans, Louisiana United States

Travel to New Orleans and enjoy a whole range of festivals, arts events, and food festivals. New Orleans hosts many annual events including Mardi Gras, French Quarter Fest, Essence Festival, Voodoo Fest, Southern Decadence and Halloween Carnaval. This makes it easy to find an event that matches your mood when visiting New Orleans.

8. Amsterdam, Netherlands

There’s a reason so many tourists flock to Amsterdam every year; it’s one of Europe’s most gorgeous cities. With canals winding through its heart, famous museums such as Rijksmuseum, and dozens of colourful markets lining its streets, it’s easy to see why travellers want to visit Amsterdam.

9. Memphis, Tennessee United States

Memphis is situated on high ground that overlooks a natural harbour. As a result, it was an important spot for both Native American and European settlers alike. Its history of trade made it an important commercial centre in the 19th century, but today its beauty draws people from around to country and the world. This makes Memphis one of our most beautiful places in 2021!

10. Prague, Czech Republic

Situated on both sides of a great flood plain, flanked by rivers and canals, and bordered by vast mountain ranges, Prague’s setting is as stunning as its architecture. It has been an important crossroads since at least 870 AD. Prague received municipal privileges from King Vratislav II in 1198. In 1784, it became the capital of Czechoslovakia with Austria-Hungary in 1918.
