The appeal of traveling is that it lets you see a vast range of incredible sights and experience all kinds of cultures and traditions. It broadens your horizons quiet literally and it makes you truly realize the nature of the planet we live on.
Few things can have this impact on us quite like seeing an amazing scene – whether it’s a panorama of mountains, a beautiful city by night, or the Northern lights over a snowy backdrop. Here we will look at the top 10 most scenic landscapes for you to seek out and experience.
10 The Sahara Desert – Northern Africa
The Sahara Desert is the world’s largest ‘hot’ desert (not counting Antarctica which technically is a desert because of the low precipitation). At the same time it is one of the top ten most scenic landscapes where the sweeping sand dunes create a truly unique kind of scenery that let you see for miles in any direction.

I am not really sure how you can justify putting New York on the list and then putting other places like mountains. To me it does not equal out. I love the idea of having The Grand Canyon as number one. I have been there and it is so pretty.
I don’t think we can make a list like this. Deciding the top 10 most scenic landscapes is quite difficult. There are so many attractive landscapes in this world. It’s almost impossible to have a top 10 most scenic landscapes.
From those you posted, I only saw the grand canyon. I’d go to Sri Lanka this year.
Top 10 most scenic landscapes makes me want to get out of this city. I hate working during summer. It’s so hot I can’t even think about what you have to do at work. At least I can relax watching the pics of top 10 most scenic landscapes, meh…
I hope I will have a vacation as soon as possible.
I wish I were in one of these top 10 most scenic landscapes. If I had the money, I would go in all of the places you mentioned. I bet it would be a great vacation. Seeing top 10 most scenic landscapes should be very relaxing. Can’t beat that.
It’s a matter of taste. Maybe I don’t like Sri Lanka, while some else does. But in general, this top 10 most scenic landscapes is okay. Everyone should see at least one of these places. It’s a must, before we die.
Ok, I think I have just set up a new goal. I want to visit all of the places you mentioned in top 10 most scenic landscapes. I know it will take a lot of money, but I will try and economize. Thanks for giving me the idea. Glad I came across the post.
I have been to the Alps and they are amazing. They look so pretty and peaceful. I would have to say that move this one to number one. The scenery is just so pretty.
Rio, you should try other places as well. Just pick another place in this top 10 most scenic landscapes and you will be as happy as you were in the Alps. I guarantee. I have seen a couple of locations you mentioned here. I was amazed.
The Grand Canyon deserves the first place in the top 10 most scenic landscapes. I’ve been there and what I have seen was amazing. I hope to go there again.
I strongly recommend visiting The Grand Canyon. It is not in vain on the first place in the top 10 most scenic landscapes.
Victoria Falls is indeed one of the top 10 most scenic landscapes. Only when I look at this picture I am impressed. I really want to see it for real. It is so beautiful. From all these top 10 most scenic landscapes, Victoria Falls I would like to see first.
These are indeed the top 10 most scenic landscapes. So far I’ve only seen New York by night and Swiss Alps. I was impressed at both of them. I would really love to see the rest of the top 10 most scenic landscapes. I hope to have this chance.
From all these top 10 most scenic landscapes I would like to see the northern lights from Iceland. I guess this is the most beautiful thing on earth. Unfortunately I don’t think I will ever see them. I don’t think I’ll ever go to Iceland. But you never know what will happen in the future so I’m still hoping to see one of the top 10 most scenic landscapes.
I agree with Francesca. The northern lights is probably one of the best top 10 most scenic landscapes. I think this is something magic. All that light and all those colors! Oh, what I wouldn’t do to see this! Your other top 10 most scenic European landscapes aren’t even close to this beauty.
I’ve seen almost all of these top 10 most scenic landscapes. The northern lights are the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen. What you experience when you see them is beyond description. It is something magic… I would have putted them on the first place among these top 10 most scenic landscapes.
I have been to the Swiss Alps and they are amazing. Truly wonderful. They are peaceful and just gorgeous to look at. I highly recommend seeing them and if you can then hiking them as well.
I too think Swiss Alps are one of the top 10 most scenic landscapes. Viv is right. They are amazing. I would loooove to live there. They are indeed peaceful and relaxing and…everything you like. They should be on the first place in this top 10 most scenic landscapes list.
I cannot imagine how would it be to live here. How would it be to live in one of the top 10 most scenic landscapes. Waking up near great mountains and waters. And seeing the beature of nature all around you. My life dream is now to move in one of this top 10 most scenic landscapes.
New York by Night is a great landscape. Not really a landscape but it is just amazing to be there. The feeling that is in the air is uncomparable to so much. Maybe it is because I am from a small city. But New York by Night is awesome.
From all these top 10 most scenic landscapes, New York by night is the one I like most. I am too from a small city. And yeah, maybe that’s why we think so. When you come from a small city to the biggest city from US, you are simply amazed. That happened to me when I visited this city. I assure you that from all these top 10 most scenic landscapes, New York by night is truly fantastic.
How can you classify these beauties and make a top 10 most scenic landscapes list? Every landscape has its own beauty. They are different and non comparable. How can you compare the magic of the northern lights with the peacefulness of the Swiss Alps? These top 10 most scenic landscapes aren’t comparable as I said.
Victoria Falls – Zambia/Zimbabwe looks very nice. My friend just got back from Africa and went here. I showed her the picture. She said it does not even do it justice.
New York by night is the most amazing from all these top 10 most scenic landscapes. It has an almost blinding glow because of the lights. I love it. I would really like to live in this city. I don’t think I would ever get bored of it. In fact, it is one of the top 10 most scenic landscapes, no?
I simply love all these top 10 most scenic landscapes. They are all amazing. Don’t you think so too? Look of all these top 10 most scenic landscapes. Where wouldn’t you like to go? I don’t think there is a place from all these that you wouldn’t like to visit.
The Tatra Mountains in Poland is the only landscape from all these top 10 most scenic landscapes I’ve seen so far. I don’t have words to describe how beautiful it was. From all these top 10 most scenic landscapes I picked the one that fits me most. I love to be surrounded by nature, I love mountains and I love to feel that fresh air and be in that loneliness and peacefulness that only some of the most beautiful mountains can give it to you. I’ve seen so many beautiful landscapes there and I’m sure I will come back to that place again.
If I were to choose from all these top 10 most scenic landscapes I wouldn’t know what to choose. All of them are amazing. I would love to see all these top 10 most scenic landscapes. And I guess all people want this. I don’t think is anyone who would not like to see any of these landscapes.
This picture of Victoria Falls is fantastic. Waterfalls offer indeed spectacular views. I haven’t seen Victoria Falls yet. But from all these top 10 most scenic landscapes, it is the first I would like to see. But I don’t think I would ever go to Africa.
