What are the 3 best places you have ever been outside your own country?

Dorsetcupcake61 Sat 16-Jan-21 09:41:01

Venice, New York , Niagara Falls (the Canadian side).

For me it's Ireland, Berlin and Gibraltar.

nanna8 Sat 16-Jan-21 09:42:08

For me it would be Venice for the art and atmosphere
Rarotonga in the middle of the Pacific for relaxation and
Guilin in China because of the weird and wonderful scenery

Fabulous! We stayed in one of the "cave apartments" and sat on the terrace each morning, having breakfast and watching the cruise ships come in.

nanna8 narrowing down to three is really difficult.

Grand Canyon (we traveled by helicopter absolutely stunning scenery)

Another fan of Great Ocean Road Australia (many years ago with two young children and a very understanding school)

Maldives, I didn’t think I would like the feeling of isolation but the beach and ocean wildlife were beyond my wildest dreams. We had our youngest two children with us and they said the holiday was as good as Disneyland if not better.

Kate1949 Did you visit Akrotiri, the archaeological dig which rivals Pompeii? That was fascinating. Many artefacts uncovered from the volcanic eruption but not a single body.

Baggs Sat 16-Jan-21 10:22:26

Oslo (specifically the cross-country skiing tracks around the city, though the city is nice too), Ithaca (and its gorges) NY, Zions National Park Utah.
