Europe is the second smallest continent and the third largest in population. Rich in culture, history, art, and architecture, it's no surprise that out of the top ten tourist destinations in the world, Europe has 5.
In addition to iconic landmarks like The Colosseo, The Eiffel Tower, Buckingham Palace, or The Alhambra, Europe has tremendous Natural beauty and diversity.
From Snowy Mountains, down Cliffside waterfalls to dramatic coastlines, here are the 10 Most Stunning Destinations You'll Want To Visit in Europe.
1. Meteora, Greece.
The Magnificent Meteora valley was originally home to 24 monasteries built on immense natural rock pillars and only accessible via ladders or rope baskets as a defense mechanism against attackers. Nowadays only 6 Monasteries remain, Access has been made easier with staircases carved into the stone, rope bridges, and paved walkways but it's best not to try to visit them all in one day as you'll end up missing more than you'll see.
2. Hallstatt, Austria.
This Fairytale town is rumored to have been the inspiration for Arendelle in the Frozen films. Situated by a crystal clear lake and overlooked by majestic mountains its beauty stems from how it sits in perfect harmony with its surroundings, and it's only made more beautiful when it snows....
3. Bay of Kotor, Montenegro.
In the Adriatic sea, a narrow inlet gives you access to the splendor of Kotor Bay. Medieval Towns nestled at the foot of rocky green mountains, curvy mountain roads wind from one wonder to the next, Old Citadels, Venetian fortifications, and boat trips to Island monasteries.

9. Fussen, Germany.
The last stop on Germany's "romantic road" Fussen is embraced by lush hills and mountains and sits on the banks of the Lech river.
