Bar Harbor should be any traveler's Maine priority! Drink in a view of the Atlantic Ocean from the town pier, and be sure to get some lobster at one of the excellent local restaurants. Bar Harbor, a Mount Desert Island town, is also the portal to the rugged, recreational paradise Acadia National Park, where birding, whale-watching and kayaking is the order of the day. The park's Cadillac Mountain is the highest point on America's East Coast.
Lanzarote, the northernmost of the Canary Islands, is a striking destination characterized by its volcanic landscapes and unique architectural heritage. Known for its otherworldly scenery, the island boasts a remarkable volcanic terrain shaped by eruptions in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Timanfaya National Park is a highlight, where visitors can witness geothermal demonstrations and explore the dramatic lava fields on a guided tour.
Davos, located in the Swiss canton of Graubünden, is the highest town in Europe at 1,560 meters above sea level and known for its alpine sports and outdoor activities. In winter, it offers over 300 kilometers of ski slopes shared with neighboring Klosters, along with cross-country trails and Europe’s largest natural ice rink. In summer, the same mountains transform into hiking and mountain biking routes, including the panoramic Jakobshorn and Parsenn areas.
