The world has a whole lot of jaw-dropping places but sometimes, it’s easy to get stuck in our own bubbles. With stunning fall foliage in New York, dazzling Florida beaches, plentiful swimming holes in northern California and charming small towns near Chicago, it’s not like you *need* too look up too often, right? We digress. Here, we’ve compiled a list of the 55 most beautiful places in the world. Icelandic waterfalls, Venetian canals, American national parks and the tropical climate of a Vietnamese mountain town all included. Banff? On here. The Bolivian salt flats? You bet. From Chile to Nambia, you should be warned: You’re about to be hit with an onslaught of wanderlust.
