You see the Eiffel Tower represented so much in literature and in media while you are growing up, and then, when you are standing right there under it, it is just breathtaking.
At least it is in my opinion. I’ve been there 3 times, and got the same feeling every time.
I agree. I know it makes Parisians cringe but when the tower sparkles at night, it looks so pretty to me.
Also loved the Grand Canyon. It was the first time that a place actually took my breath away.
Hawaii--all of it. Everywhere you look is just amazing. Same with a lot of Idaho--it's so underrated.
Montana--I never understood what big sky country meant until I went there. The sky just never seems to end.
I don't know about most beautiful but Honduras was the greenest place I've ever seen. Just so lush.
