Where to go for beautiful photos
You won't surprise anyone anymore with the courtyards of your hometown, St. Isaac's Cathedral from all sides, or the carousel on Red Square. It's time to take your Instagram to the next level, and we'll tell you where to go for top-notch shots — your friends will be envious, and your followers will be amazed.
No matter how you look at it, mountain landscapes win! It's impossible to visit everywhere, but here are some places where the journey itself is an adventure you can talk about until retirement. There's plenty of time now (if you know what I mean).
And at the end of the post, a bonus awaits you.
In Gudvangen village, hop on a ferry and go! Yes, the journey is long, with many transfers, but when you see these beauties, the path you've traveled will no longer matter.
And to experience this place even more, rent a kayak and go for a solo paddle. Perhaps you'll even manage to paddle right under a rainbow!
Reinebringen
Not the highest point of the Lofoten Islands — only 450 meters. But from it, look, what a view! Although the rock looks impregnable, you'll have to climb for an hour to an hour and a half.
What's the bonus, hello!
Turkey
Cappadocia (Kapadokya)You can see the world beneath your feet not only from a mountaintop. A hot air balloon is also suitable for this. And the best flight awaits you in Cappadocia. How to get there: From Istanbul, fly to Kayseri or Nevşehir, and from there take a bus to Göreme. The bus ride will take an hour and cost about 200 rubles.
Norway
Nærøyfjord
How to get there: The distance from Oslo to Nærøyfjord is about 350 km, and half that from Bergen. Buses, trains, and planes depart from both cities towards the fjord, and ferries also depart from Bergen.
| Bus | Nor-Way Bussekspress: from Oslo and Bergen to Gudvangen village |
| Ferry | Fjord Tours, Fjord1, Sognefjorden Cruise,Discover Sognefjord, Norway Fjordcruise |
| Train | To Flåm from Oslo, Bergen, Myrdal |
How to get there: The most convenient and fastest way is by plane: Oslo - Bodø - Svolvær (or Leknes). And from there, by car to Reine. You can also fly from Sweden. Ferries also run to the Lofoten Islands from Bodø to Moskenes (closest to the town of Reine), but from there you still need to get by car.
Switzerland
Mount PizolThe only thing better than mountains are more mountains. Or unusually colored lakes — there are five of them there, and you can manage to visit them all. And what's unusual is that each lake has its own color. How to get there: We go to the town of Bad Ragaz, which is just an hour's train ride from Zurich. A ticket costs from 1,000 rubles. You can also reach the resort by train directly from Zurich or Geneva airport. But it will be more expensive and take longer. Appenzell
A small settlement in the mountainous region of Switzerland. You can walk around the town in a day, but all the interesting things lie beyond its borders. Go to Lake Seealpsee, climb Ebenalp, or visit the ruins of Clanx Castle — there's a lot to choose from! How to get there: Train along the Zurich - Appenzell route with transfers. The journey takes 2-2.5 hours, price from 2,000 rubles.
Germany
Geierlay Suspension BridgeThis is the longest rope suspension bridge in Germany. In the middle of the bridge, you'll either feel delight or a dose of adrenaline, because, well, it's high up! How to get there: The nearest town is Mörsdorf. You can get there from Frankfurt by train in almost 3 hours. Buy tickets on the country's railway website. But this is not a direct route, it involves transfers. By train, you'll reach the town of Treis-Karden, and from there, take a taxi to Mörsdorf. Saxon Switzerland (Sachsen)
Saxony is a large park on the territory of Germany and the Czech Republic, divided by a border. On the Czech side, the region is called Bohemian Switzerland, and on the German side — Saxon Switzerland. Don't confuse them. How to get there: The easiest way is from Dresden, from there it's 30 km to the park. Trains and buses depart from the main station. And where to get off — you choose yourself, depending on which part of the park you will be exploring. We recommend taking a ride on the Kirnitzschtalbahn tram, which takes you to the most popular spots in the park. Zingst
Tired of mountains? Indeed, it's time to come down to earth or water. Zingst is a municipality in northern Germany on the Baltic Sea coast. And across the sea are Sweden and Denmark. How to get there: From Berlin or Hamburg by bus. But from Berlin, it's twice cheaper and faster — about 20 euros and 4 hours on the road.
Italy
Funes (Val di Funes)Bolzano province — postcard-perfect villages, unusually shaped mountains, peace and quiet, only cats running around. In the Funes municipality, you'll find the most charming views, like this one. How to get there: Your main landmark is the city of Bolzano. It's small itself and there's nothing to do there, so don't linger. There, take a bus and go to Santa Maddalena — this is the heart of the Val di Funes municipality. And from there, you're free to explore in all directions.
Kyrgyzstan
Song-Kul LakeNot only in Europe can you be mesmerized by the surrounding beauty — Kyrgyzstan also has captivating places. Here's Song-Kul Lake. No tourists, just horses and rare locals. Beautiful! A calm and empty place to clear your mind. For adventure seekers, there are hiking tours for two days or more, and you can stay in yurt camps. How to get there: Best by car from Bishkek towards Naryn. Or take an excursion.
