In the lake, a pretty island holds the Church of Mary, topped with a 52-meter bell tower. Climb the 99 steps, and you\u2019ll be rewarded with a view that seems to go on forever.<\/p>\n<p>Moving to northern Europe, the Giant\u2019s Causeway in Northern Ireland awes with its nearly perfect stacks of hexagonal basalt, all formed by ancient lava. Then, just a little south, the Blue Lagoon on Malta\u2019s tiny Comino enchants with clear, warm water and a calm spot that begs for a lazy swim.<\/p>\n<p>Italy steals hearts with the Cone-Top Trulli houses of Alberobello in Apulia, tiny homes that look like fairy-tale hats, and Spain holds you in awe with the Royal Alc\u00e1zar in Seville, a stunning Moorish castle covered in colorful tile and centuries of royal stories.<\/p>\n<p>Iceland\u2019s Westman Islands hide within the North Atlantic, offering steep, rugged cliffs and the peaceful calm you only find far from the crowd. A few hours\u2019 drive from Reykjav\u00edk and a quick ferry ride get you straight to this remote paradise. If you\u2019re after something more urban, pay a visit to Schlachtensee, a picture-perfect lake just outside Berlin. Its still waters and wooded paths make a perfect spot to escape the city buzz for the day.<\/p>\n<p>Across the continent, more gems await the curious traveler. Lace up for the rolling hills of England\u2019s Peak District, or stroll the sweeping cliffs of the Southwest Coast Path. Norway\u2019s deep, shimmering fjords and Portugal\u2019s Jardim do Morro terrace await those in search of eye-popping scenery. In the Balkans, pay a visit to Our Lady of the Rocks in the Bay of Kotor, watch the sunset sink behind towering altars and steep hills. North of the Alps, postcard-perfect Zermatt and the Matterhorn stand ready for skiers and hikers alike, quiet Fj\u00e4llbacka in Sweden is a perfect weekend escape.<\/p>\n<p>From the endless beaches of Portugal to the dramatic cliffs of Montenegro and the \u201cchocolate-box\u201d streets of Sweden and Croatia, a 2025 itinerary needs only to include the dunes of Pilat, the quiet charm of Alberta street in Riga, the ancient stones of Hagia Sophia, or sun-kissed Xlendi Bay to be a winner. Europe\u2019s blend of scenery, history, and culture is limitless, and each of these spots adds to a traveler\u2019s personal story.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"gofollow\" data-track=\"NzMsNiwxLDYw\" href=\"https:\/\/www.travelandtourworld.com\/ttwapp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"br-lazy\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0naHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmcnIHZpZXdCb3g9JzAgMCAwIDAnPjwvc3ZnPg==\" data-breeze=\"https:\/\/www.travelandtourworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/leaderboard-app-design24.jpg\" style=\"max-width: 728px; height: auto\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Home \u00bb EUROPE \u00bb Now, Spain, Italy, Germany, Slovenia, Iceland, Malta, Northern Ireland and More Reveal Europe\u2019s Most&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":362207,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5310],"tags":[127148,2000,299,1824,43122,55983,45660,2199,43123,50546,43778,104,42549,42991,1559],"class_list":{"0":"post-362206","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-germany","8":"tag-breathtaking-destinations","9":"tag-eu","10":"tag-europe","11":"tag-germany","12":"tag-germany-travel-news","13":"tag-iceland-travel-news","14":"tag-ireland-travel-news","15":"tag-italy","16":"tag-italy-travel-news","17":"tag-malta-travel-news","18":"tag-slovenia-travel-news","19":"tag-spain","20":"tag-spain-travel-news","21":"tag-travel-destination-news","22":"tag-travel-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115067136461959279","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/362206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=362206"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/362206\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/362207"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=362206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=362206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=362206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
