A big part of travel is finding those incomparable spots where you almost can’t believe your eyes. Some you really have to work for (Kilimanjaro comes to mind) while others are found at the end of a leisurely stroll. To get your bucket list started, we’ve gathered ten pretty places to park yourself and where to find these views on some of our favourite adventures.
