Whether you wanna level up your visit to a specific country or you’re currently building out your own travel bucket list, I have a few must-visit locations you’ll wanna check out.
Each of them are awe-inspiring, postcard-worthy destinations that really are bucket list goals. Also, I feel like it’s essential to figure out your own must-see bucket list ideas. Because why leave a country without getting to experience surreal landscapes and epic adventures?
So scroll, check out some of best places to travel, and create your own list of bucket list adventures to start checking off.
1. Lapland, Finland
If you’re looking into bucket list travel, then you don’t wanna skip Lapland.
It has an otherworldly atmosphere that you can snowboard through, and of course the Northern Lights are on a lot of travelers’ bucket lists (include me!). It’s one of nature’s greatest displays that’ll give you a memorable, once-in-a-lifetime bucket list moment.
2. El Nido Palawan, Philippines
I’ve been meaning to go here for awhile and it’s currently on my bucket list for when I visit the Philippines.
With incredibly mesmerizing beaches and waters, and an amazing underwater world, it’s honestly no wonder that the entire province of Palawan itself is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
3. Keukenhof Park, Netherlands
Keukenhof is one of the most beautiful spring gardens in the world. It’s also the world’s biggest flower park!
More than seven million flower bulbs are planted yearly. And If you wanna see the Dutch tulip fields in bloom, you should visit between March and May; that’s when the park opens. A visit to Keukenhof really is one of the dreamiest experiences and you’ll probably feel like you’re stepping into a fairytale.
4. The Wave, Arizona
Whether you choose to view it above by drone, across the water, on a bike, or hiking at the base during a gorgeous sunset, witnessing this natural wonder is something you need to do at least once in your life.
5. Petra, Jordan
Mysterious, beautiful, and ancient. These are the words I use to describe this amazing wonder. Also, Petra definitely looks like it’s totally worth it, so if you’re building out your travel bucket list, then this needs to be on it.
6. Santorini, Greece
If you’ve already built out a Europe travel bucket list and you’ve been checking it off, but you haven’t included Santorini, then please write it down now.
It honestly looks like such a great location to go to during the shoulder season. So that means you’re going in between peak and off-peak seasons, and experiencing relatively good whether without all of the crowds.
7. Cinque Terre, Italy
The stunning views of the destination are what make Cinque Terre a must-see for any travel lover. The colored buildings are so pretty and really make you feel like you’re in a different time.
8. Prague, Czechia
If you’re looking for aesthetically and architecturally beautiful places to visit, Prague is a must! Lots of historic buildings, incredible churches, and pretty gardens. It really does look awe-inspiring… and Instagrammable.
