Top 10 Best Countries to visit!

When it comes to traveling, there are countless destinations to choose from. Whether you’re looking for stunning beaches, vibrant cities, or breathtaking natural landscapes, there’s a country out there that will suit your needs. But with so many options, it can take a lot of work to know where to start planning your next trip. To help you narrow down your options, we’ve compiled a list of the ten best countries to visit.

1. Italy:

From the rolling hills of Tuscany to the stunning beaches of the Amalfi Coast, Italy has something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for delicious food, rich culture, or beautiful art, you’ll find it all in Italy. From the famous Colosseum in Rome to the picturesque canals of Venice, there’s no shortage of things to see and do.

There is a reason Italy is a bucket list destination for many people. It is perfect! No matter what your interests are, Italy has what you need to make an ideal vacation. We went to Italy on our honeymoon and have been itching to return since we left. You can travel to Italy on a budget or in luxury. Whatever way you experience Italy, you won’t regret the time and money spent here. 

Pro tip: use the trains

When we went to Italy, we flew into Milan, Italy. We had no plans, just a return ticket home. After much consideration, we opted to use the high-speed train system instead of renting a car. This was the best choice we ever made. The trains take you all over the country and driving in the cities is pointless because walking is the best way to get around. The trains gave us so much flexibility because you could book a train ticket the same day without stressing over an itinerary. 

Going to Italy, you will stumble upon famous monuments, beautiful artwork, stunning architecture, colorful coastlines, historical sites, and more. Read our post about Rome, Italy, to learn more about why you should visit Italy.

2. Taiwan:

Known for its night markets and delicious street food, Taiwan is a food lover’s paradise. But the country has so much more to offer, from the bustling streets of Taipei to the tranquil temples of Kaohsiung. Taiwan is also home to the Taroko Gorge National Park, which offers spectacular views and hiking opportunities.

Taiwan has an interesting history. The people of Taiwan claim independence from China. Taiwan has a president and the people love their democracy. Taiwan is a small Island that has everything you need to have a perfect vacation. When you go to Taiwan you have to do each of these items listed bellow. 

Visit a tea shop and buy a china set 

Visit the creator village of Yingge in Taipei. Here you can sit down with tea experts and have them curate a tea blend just for your needs. You can walk the cobblestone streets of the pottery capital of the world for hours. Make sure you pick up a unique china set to bring home and some hand made wood artwork. 

Visit the coast

One example is to visit the black sand beaches of the Philippine sea. We went here on a rainy day and it was still such a fun experience. The sand is so soft and it is black! this is a very unique beach. 

Visit a big city 

Taipei 101 was built to be the tallest building in the world, until it was beat by Dubai. You should use the MRT public transportation when you visit Taiwan. You can even take the high speed train to the other side of the Island in 2 hours. Visit the zoo or aquarium, go shopping, visit the Grand Palace Museum.

Taiwan has everything you need for a vacation and is a great place to experience Asian culture. 

3. Singapore:

A small island city-state in Southeast Asia, Singapore is a melting pot of cultures and an excellent destination for those who love to explore cities. It’s home to the famous Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, and Sentosa Island. Singapore is also known for its delicious food, with a mix of Chinese, Malay, and Indian influences.

Singapore has a fascinating political history. England owned it for a long time and used it as a trading post. Eventually, Singapore established its own independent city-state and now has a parliamentary republic political system. Now Singapore is a very safe and modern country to visit. They have stringent laws, such as no chewing gum in public places, to maintain a clean city. Public transportation is very safe and clean and is the best way to get around. 

The Airport

Most airports are miserable and ugly. Singapore is famous for its green initiatives and modern infrastructure, and they did not stop at the airport. Some people fly to Singapore and spend multiple days just at the airport. You have to check out the Discover Garden. This is a massive tree-shaped Garden that you can explore for hours. 

Marina Bay Sands 

You probably have seen this iconic hotel in moves like Crazy Rich Asians. This hotel is one of a kind as it is made up of 3 buildings that are topped by a Skydeck. You can spend the night here if you drop $1000.oo USD on a hotel room. Another option is to buy a ticket to the Skydeck. I do not see how you can visit Singapore and not come here. 

Gardens By the Bay

Here you will find more beautiful plants that are merged with art. I recommend walking around and not taking any photos. Do a second walkthrough if you want to take pictures. I want you to put your phone down and take in the masterpiece around you. 

Singapore has a few nature reserves you can check out. Still, I would say most people will go to Singapore if they want to explore a big metropolis.

4. Greece:

With its stunning natural landscapes, beautiful beaches, and rich history, Greece is an excellent destination for history and culture enthusiasts. From the ancient ruins of Athens to the picturesque islands of Santorini and Mykonos, Greece has something to offer. It’s also known for its delicious Mediterranean cuisine and the famous Greek nightlife.

We all know Greek mythology stories and have heard of the Ancient Greek powers. In current years Greece has had many political and economic hardships. Despite the difficulties, they are working on a comeback. Greece is a safe place to travel. 

Visit Ancient Ruins

Similar to Italy, Greece is covered in famous ancient ruins. You must visit some of the most famous historical sites when you go to Greece. Definitely stop by the Acropolis in Athens. You will be amazed by the size of these iconic greek pillars. 

Explore Greek Islands 

You have definitely seen pictures of white buildings with blue roofs. You are looking at Santorini, Greece. This is a perfect coastal vacation town. You will find food, culture, nightlife, history, beaches, and more here. If you have time to take a Boat ride or a plane to the country of Cyprus, you will not be disappointed. This rich island is where Millionaires go to retire. My brother lived here for a few years, and anytime he sent a photo, it was wild to see how beautiful a city could be. 

Get ready to step into history and relax in the sun. Greece is waiting for you. 

5. Australia:

With its beautiful beaches, vibrant cities, and unique wildlife, Australia is a great destination for travelers of all interests. Whether you’re looking to explore the Great Barrier Reef or take a road trip through the Outback, Australia has something to offer. Australia is a must-visit destination, from the famous Sydney Opera House to the Great Barrier Reef and the iconic Uluru.

Beach

Do not skip out on the Great Barrier Reef. This Reef is the largest Reef system in the world. Take a guided smoking tour or go scuba diving. If you have money to spend, imagine yourself sleeping under the water inside the Great Barrier Reef. Australia is also a great place to relax on the beach or take surfing lessons. Many people go to Byron for some of the best beaches in Australia. 

Brush

When people think of Australia, they think of beaches and Steve Irwin. This site here has all the best hiking sites and tips. Take advantage of exploring the brush.

From the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris to the beautiful Château de Versailles, France is a country that never fails to impress. The perfect vacation to France would include City, History, Art, and Beaches. 

Visit the Louvre and see some of the most famous art in all of history. Even if you are not an art bush, you will regret not visiting this renowned building. 

France is known for its beautiful parks that merge art, history, and wildlife. One example is the Palace of Versailles. Visit this historic site where the Treaty of Versailles was signed.

Whether you’re looking to explore Bangkok or take a yoga retreat on the beach, Thailand has something to offer. From the famous temples of Bangkok to the beautiful beaches of Phuket, Thailand is a country that will leave you wanting more.

We went to Bangkok and Phuket on our trip, and I regret not venturing up to Chaing Mai. I would break down Thailand into 3 landscapes: The mountainside of Chaing Mai, the Metropolitan city of Bangkok, and the Beach life of Phuket & Krabi. I recommend going to each of these places because together, you will get the fullest picture of what makes Thailand such a beautiful country.
