With its pretty bridge

A beautiful cliffs area in Mali which is actually quite long (over 100 miles) which along with being beautiful also has some interesting history and architecture of the Dogon people. Looks quite unique and picturesque.

Just to view, probably, not to climb. Famous mountain in Xizang. Seems to be fairly popular among certain religious groups. The shape of the mountain looks pretty. (I'm getting a lot of these from BBC Travel today.)

Sandy coastal place in Ceará, Brazil. Looks pretty.

Includes possibly one of the largest cities/structures in ancient What-is-now-the-southwestern-USA-ish-area.

Pirin National Park

Mountains and lakes pretty stuff in Bulgaria

Milwaukee

Pretty parks, neat European-looking buildings, canals/rivers, bridges, neat-looking art museum, etc. Milwaukee looks kinda cool.

Pittsburgh

Where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers join to form the Ohio River, there's the city of Pittsburgh. This position at the confluence looks pretty neat with the skyscrapers, bridges, and pretty forested mountain scenery around. There are at least a couple funiculars here (inclined rail car things that go up/down a mountain slope) that go up Mount Washington, from which there are great views of the downtown city. This looks like quite a nice city.

Band-e-Amir

This place has lakes and pretty rocks and the swirly effect looks pretty and cool. It looks nice. :)

Snow Lake

This thing looks really tough to get to, but beautiful.

K2

Not to climb, but to get a good view of.

Fairy Meadows looks like a very beautiful meadow area with a great view of a very high snow-covered mountain.

Ancient archaeological site, I suppose a big thing regarding the Indus civilization. There, got another one in Pakistan.

Aarhus

Aarhus has neat looking stuff. There's the rainbow thing at ARoS and that Isbjerget thing.

Tehran

There's the neat-looking Azadi Tower and the tall Milad Tower. It was the site of a famous war conference, I think. Also, it's the capital of Iran.

Putrajaya

Putrajaya seems to be sort-of the capital of Malaysia, so perhaps some neat government buildings and such. There seem to be some neat-looking structures here. Wikitravel's idea or somethin.

Phnom Penh

Capital of Cambodia, with stuff like a royal palace, a national museum, probably a cool monument (like the Independence Monument) or two or more. Some photos of stuff in this city look kinda cool. Thanks Global Road Warrior again.

Irazu

Volcano with a green lake thing in Costa Rica. Views of both oceans, maybe. Thanks Global Road Warrior.

Wall Drug

This drug store in Wall, South Dakota, is famous for its advertising. There are some attractions in the store, it seems. Free ice water might be one of them.

Trakai Castle

Pretty castle on an island in Lithuania. There's also a cool boardwalk path going to the island over the water! :D It looks like a neat place. :)

Put-in-Bay

Ohioan island with a peace memorial, I guess. Looks like there's a boardwalk and it might have some touristy fun.

Accra

Seems like an influential city in one of Africa's most freedom-promoting nations. There seem to be some neat monuments/memorials in the city, and the beaches might be cool to check out, along with the national Ghanian stuff that might be available for people to see here. Maybe there's some sports stuff too. Oh, and the prime meridian seems nearby so that might be kinda fun.

Cradle Mountain

Pretty mountain with some nice views including Dove Lake below in western Tasmania.

Tromsø

Particularly, the view of Tromsø from above looks gorgeous (the challenge of getting to one of those high places to view the city from could be quite an experience too). Also, having such a city this far north seems to interest my curiosity, or something like that. :)

Oslo

The capital of Norway includes a cool cylindrical Parliament building, a neat-looking Opera House, Vigeland's Monolith sculpture, the Royal Palace, The Scream painting, and probably other interesting things.

San Jose

This city's city hall looks cool, and there's a big outdoor Monopoly board in the Guadalupe River Park and it's called Monopoly in the Park it's not HUGE huge but it looks cool. And San Jose's one of the most populous cities in the USA so it's probably got some other cool stuff too.

Genghis Khan Equestrian Statue

There's a huge shiny cool-looking statue of a horse in Mongolia east of Ulaanbaatar. It looks cool and it looks like you can go inside or on top of the horse statue. There seems to be a depiction of some guy riding the horse too but who cares about that. Yay horsey!

Ball of Twine

This apparent "ball of twine" in Cawker City, Kansas, is also cited as the "World's Largest". I'm not sure if that's a claim that can be verified with current information, but it might be an interesting stop.

Precious Moments

Near Joplin. Not sure what to say about this, but it would probably at least be memorable.

Melekeok

Commonly referenced as Palau's capital. Mainly the capitol building here looks cool, especially with the happy Palau flag. :) Also kinda interesting with a capitol building seemingly in the middle of a remote field instead of in the middle of a busy city.

Flight 93 National Memorial

The story of flight 93 on September 11, 2001, seems like quite a heroic one, and many lives were likely saved through the passengers' actions. This memorial might be worth a visit.

Tai Shan

Mountain park thing in Shandong with mountain scenery and like THOUSANDS OF STEPS to a chinese looking red temple or palace or pagoda building or something like that maybe HAHAHAHAHAHA I"M WEIRD TODAY

Longmen Grottoes

HUGE BUDDHIST SCULPTURE MOUNTAIN ROCK THINGS IN CHINA

Tall gorgeous waterfall in Guizhou.

Zhangye Danxia Landform

Big colorful wavy stripy rock ridgy things in Gansu.

lake in Italy under cool Dolomite mountains in background it's a photo thing i guess

In the Whitsunday Islands, a very pretty area of white sand and turquoise water in swirly composition which probably looks amazing from a good viewpoint.

Monte Fitz Roy

Argentine mountain, hiking, pretty, snow, iconic-looking, yeah?

Franconia Notch

Franconia Notch is a pretty mountain pass in New Hampshire, I think. There are reportedly some great hiking opportunities such as "Franconia Ridge" which seems to feature a part of trail that goes along the crest or ridge of a mountain saddle or something and it looks quite peaceful and beautiful up there.

Besseggen

A famous really cool view of two differently-colored lakes seems to be available here. Mountains, water, cool Norwayish scenery.

Trzy Korony

Means "Three Crowns" in Polish, I guess. This mountain thing kinda looks like a crown from the south, and I think you can hike up it and see cool views and stuff. It seems to be part of a "Pieniny" national park, too.

Étretat

This place in France has some cool-looking cliffs and at least one cool-looking natural arch on the coast.

Auroville

Weird experimental town or something in India (looks like it's in Tamil Nadu pretty close to Puducherry). There's an interesting-looking area featuring a gold sphere thing. Unity among humans seems to be a big part of the philosophy of Auroville or something. Odd but some of the structures seem interesting.

Quebec City

The Cheateau Frontenac, probably the most famous building in Quebec. Also nearby is Montmorency Falls, probably the most famous waterfall in Quebec.

Cumberland Island

horses and ruins in Georgia

Lac Abbe

Lake with limestone rock formations nearby. Maybe some flamingos too.

Valle de la Luna

Famous desert landscape in northern Chile.

Pamukkale

Interesting white snowy-looking mineral thermal-looking stairway-looking thing in Turkey. Looks pretty neat.

Predjama Castle

Castle on/in a cliff, which seems to be partially in a cave opening. Looks pretty fantasy-like and cool.

Skocjan Caves

Caves. I think there's an underground river section here, and a huge chasm with a bridge crossing it, which looks pretty cool.

Arica and Parinacota Quebradas

In the Arica and Parinacota region of Chile, there are multiple "quebradas", or canyons/ravines/valleys or something like that. These things are huge, and an interesting thing about them is they're located in the Atacama Desert area. Also, they seem much more straight than other canyons and such, so from the rim, it might seem like an enormous ditch made of sand, but perhaps with some patches of green at the bottom. It could look really neat in person.

Yalta

Site of some war conference a while back I think, but the area 'round here looks quite pretty with mountains and coast stuff. Somewhere I think there's a cool theatrically-placed castle thing (it's small but neat, it seems) called "Swallow's Nest" and the views around here look pretty cool.

False Bay

Very pretty bay by the Cape of Good Hope.

Picos de Europa

Large, grand, and beautiful mountainlands in northern Spain. Neat views in this area, including the Covadonga/Enol Lakes.

Willemstad

Colorful cute-looking city on Curacao.

The Baths

The Baths of Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands look cool with all that neat water and those neat boulder things hahahaha WOOO OWL CITY IN THE BACKGROUND

On the northeastern coast side of Aruba, there's this thing called the Natural Pool (possibly also called "Conchi") that's really rocky but pool-like, which looks neat.

Isfahan

This city has some cool architecture, it seems.

Catarata Gocta

A huge pretty waterfall in Peru. TALL

Della Falls

Apparently the highest waterfall(s?) in Canada. Also, on Vancouver Island.

Taughannock Falls

This is a big pretty waterfall scene in upstate New York. I like it.

Astana

Interesting city in Kazakhstan with odd-but-cool-looking buildings and monuments.

Iskanderkul

Iskanderkul seems to mean "Alexander Lake", after Alexander the Great, maybe. It's in Tajikistan, and the views around here look beautiful.

Saamis Tepee

Medicine Hat, Alberta, has a really tall tepee sculpture that apparently was used in the Calgary Olympics. Cool.

Hot Springs National Park

Seems like the smallest National Park in the National Park System, and the feature seems to be more human-influenced than in other national parks. I think it's pretty much showing off a bunch of thermal baths or something in Arkansas. There are nice view areas in the nearby hills/mountains, though, which might be cool.

Dallas

Dallas has a neat-looking skyline, especially with the Reunion Tower and the Fountain Place building. Also, it's got some historical significance, with the site of the Kennedy assassination and the George W. Bush Presidential Library. Also nearby is Cowboys Stadium, which seems like an impressive structure even though I'm not much of an American football fan. Oh, and their City Hall grounds look neat.

Bratislava

The capital of Slovakia seems to have a cool Parliament building, a cool castle, and a cool bridge.

Auschwitz

Palace of the Romanian Parliament

This thing is huge.

Fields of the Wood

The "Fields of the Wood" park in western North Carolina includes some interesting Bible-themed features, especially an enormous hillside display of the Ten Commandments.

I think this is the largest state capitol in the U.S. Who knows, maybe it'll be a national legislature building someday, heh.

Checking out some of these famous companies' headquarters (like Google, Yahoo!, Facebook, and Apple) around the San Francisco/San Jose area might be fun.

Lost Dutchman State Park

There are some neat-looking mountains and scenery here, around Phoenix.

Grand Canyon

It's the Grand Canyon.

Rocky Mountain National Park

Grand views of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.

Hawksbill Crag

A dramatically-placed rocky crag, with great views of the Ozark Forest in northwestern Arkansas. Also, the Buffalo River (which I think the crag overlooks) seems to go by some beautiful sights, so one might want to check out more scenery in if the area here. :)

Voyageurs National Park

Seems like an isolated, calm, peaceful place in northern Minnesota among the many lakes. Perhaps some quiet hiking or kayaking would be nice here.

Yellowstone National Park

There seem to be many natural wonders in Yellowstone, including the colorful Grand Prismatic Spring, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, and numerous geysers and thermal features.

Sutter Buttes

This looks like a pretty spot in Northern California around Yuba City, with pretty terrain and open hilly spaces to roam. However, it looks like exploring freely might be tougher here than in other places, due to some access restrictions. Might be worth the effort to get permission, though.

Kalambo Falls

Another waterfall? YEAHJHHHHH It's a pretty one in the pretty spot, I think. :) On the Tanzania-Zambia border, I think.

Flagstaff Hill

Another Oregon Trail spot: this one with quite a nice view of the Blue Mountains.

Three Island Crossing

This spot in Idaho was a significant point along the Oregon Trail. Crossing the Snake River could be dangerous but rewarding, letting travelers access a perhaps safer route than another. Now there's probably some museum stuff there, and likely some nice views too. Also, the town there looks charming. Might be an enjoyable historical stop. :)

Kennedy Space Center

NASA's big famous Florida center. Quite a popular tourist attraction, I think.

Aniakchak

Aniakchak features a huge caldera, including a lake, volcanic-ish scenery, and probably some extraordinary views. Could be quite a beautiful surprise in the Alaskan Peninsula.

Saint Andrews Cathedral

St. Andrews Cathedral is, like, in ruins. There's a tall neat-looking facade or something still there and it looks kinda cool.

Segovia

A palace and a Roman aqueduct thing are here. The latter especially looks cool, but the former also is fairly neat I think.

Leptis Magna

This famous LIbyan old Roman city thing. Why not?

Chogha Zanbil

An old big ziggurat in Iran. Looks kinda impressive.

Somapura Mahavihara

This old Buddhist monastery thing looks pretty old, but pretty interesting. It's this colorful ruin thing with grass on it, and the shapes seem kinda neat too. Also, something to check out in Bangladesh maybe.

Aran Islands

These islands have cliff views that look cool.

Pier 21

Kinda like what Ellis Island is to the USA, this one's in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I might have ancestors who came through here, who knows. It might be a neat place anyway to check out (there's a museum).

Steens Mountain

Steens Mountain in Oregon looks quite amazing. The topographical shapes include huge bowl-like gorges, and great viewpoints along the top of the mountain. There seem to be many impressive and beautiful sights that can be seen from this location.

Berlin

There's some interesting stuff in Berlin, probably both historical and architectural and other stuff. Particularly, the Brandenburg Gate and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe (Holocaust Memorial) might be good places to visit for their historical significance.

Reykjavik

Seems like a pretty city, including the Hallgrimskirkja church, which is tall and looks neat, and probably has good views from its top. It's also got a cool-looking concert hall, the Harpa. It's also a fun place name to say and spell. :)

Longaberger Home Office

The Longaberger Home Office in central Ohio is pretty much shaped like a huge basket. And it looks like a very well done basket replica; it seems to be a very well disguised building. Might be a neat place to stop.

Cerro Paranal

The Paranal Observatory in Chile has quite a neat-looking hotel/residence thingy. You could probably do a web search for that and find what I mean.

Hungarian Parliament

The Hungarian Parliament building in Budapest seems to be one of the largest in the world, and it looks quite grand. I also like a red and white color scheme.

Other parts in Budapest might be pretty cool, too, like the Citadel and the Szent Gellert Monument thing with a waterfall thing. :D

Mount Vernon

George Washington's neat-looking estate thing.

Wittenburg

This is the city of Martin Luther. Pretty interesting historical significance, so this city might be worth a look. They seem to have the church that he reportedly nailed those theses to the door thereof. They also seem to have his house, and probably other Luther-related stuff too.

Virginia Falls

This part of some river in the Northwest Territories looks pretty cool with the huge amount of water coming through this rocky chasm. Also, it's in Canada's faraway Nahanni National Park Reserve.

Jog Falls

Jog Falls in Karnataka is apparently very strong and flowing at certain times of the year (post-monsoon, I suppose), and not so much other times due to a dam or something. The thing is huge though, so either way the area might be a really neat sight.

Rotorua

Touristy fun in New Zealand. They've got amusement parks here I think, along with some geysers.

Waipi'o Valley

This valley area of green canyons and shoreline looks stunningly beautiful. One could likely spend days exploring here finding incredible landscape views.

Prague

Prague is world-famous. Its architecture gives the city a nice atmosphere, and it seems to have pretty scenery, as well as a historic Prague Castle complex. There's a famous Frank Gehry building here, too, I think.

Madeira

This island in Portugal looks stunningly beautiful in places. The dramatic coastline around Paul do Mar has twisting roads going around the area, with many amazing views of the mountains, ocean, and the town below. The mountaintop of Pico do Areiro offers dazzling scenery, both of it, and from it. Waterfalls, cities, and such can also be included in what could be seen here.

Sete Cidades

This caldera area of the Azorean island of São Miguel is beautiful. There are multiple lakes here, at the bottom of abstract bowl-like craters with towns and villages within. The views look fantastically stunning.

Corvo

The island of Corvo is apparently the smallest of the main islands in the Azores. In three dimensions, the island might look like a shoe, with the majority of the island being a huge volcanic cone with a large caldera. This caldera is the main reason I want to visit the island, I think. The views from the rim look beautiful, and down below are some lakes with great views of the upward-sloping land, which seem to host farms tilted on the terrain. There's a small flat part in the south of the island, which I'm guessing is where the main population area is.

Pompeys Pillar

This thing in Montana is kinda famous for being a location along Lewis and Clark's trail, it seems, along the Yellowstone River. It appears to have a mark left by William Clark. Might as well check it out if in the area.

Brecon Beacons

This mountainous, grassy, lakey part of Wales looks lovely. A certain spot called Llyn y Fan Fach in particular is a good example, it appears.

Uvac Canyon

A pretty and pretty twisty canyon in Serbia. Looks quite beautiful.

Mount Cook

The iconic-looking Mount Cook can be seen from below, including from various lakes, which could be quite a beautiful sight.

Usambara Mountains

These mountains in Tanzania look enormous, with great views up there.

Mount Sinai

There's a mountain in eastern Egypt called Mount Sinai. I'm not sure if it's THE Mount Sinai, but this one currently called Mount Sinai might be an interesting visit whether or not it's the actual one.

Kirkjufell

This is a mountain in western Iceland by the town of Grundarfjordur. It looks quite beautiful and monumental.

Nicosia

Cyprus's capital city is kinda divided between those two sides that seem to have kinda divided the nation for a while. The architecture here might be neat to check out, also the cultural influence of both sides. If you look at a map of the city, it seems that there's an interesting circular/star-shaped "Old City" in an interesting arrangement.

Blackpool Tower

An apparently famous tower in England, apparently built before 1900. Huh.

Loch Ness

A very famous loch in Scotland. There's at least one well-placed castle (settingwise, perhaps) by Loch Ness, which could be a great place to admire the view.

Windsor Castle

Impressive residence of British royalty.

Sintra

The Palacio de Pena (Pena National palace) near Lisbon is a Portuguese castle on an impressive hill setting. Something particularly neat about this one is its pretty multicolored exterior. :)

Sintra in general seems to be a pretty portuguese place with castles and stuff
also one of the castles has a bunch of cool looking wells and that castle is called Quinta da Regaleira and the well is the Initiation Well it seems weird check it out

Smith Rock State Park

Some beautiful desert-like landscape in Oregon including a river, but featuring some great rocks with a magnificent-looking presence.

Haystack Rock

This tall rock island just some hundred feet off the coast of mainland Oregon looks neat along with its smaller neighbor rocks, with the sandy beach nearby and slopes in the background.

Augrabies Falls

Waterfall in a canyon in northwest South Africa. Looks cool.

Aogashima

This island in the Izus in Japan looks neat. The volcanic terrain goes up and down in quite interesting ways, and many dramatic viewpoints seem to exist on the island.

Taal Lake

Taal Lake in the Philippines includes a volcanic island that seems to stand out as a highlight of the scene.

American Gothic House

Seems like a house that was featured in American Gothic, that famous painting. The house is in southern Iowa, and seems to have its own visitor center. Neat :)

Sani Pass

A lovely-looking mountain pass on the Lesotho-South Africa border. A very twisty road goes here, which looks neat, but the surrounding terrain looks beautiful.

Kerr Dam

Kerr Dam of the Flathead Lake area in Montana has some very pretty landscapes surrounding it. I'd especially like to enjoy the grassy spots.

Callanish Stones

The Callanish Stones is a famous and likely ancient landmark on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. Looks similar but more impressive than Stonehenge.

Inishnabro

Looks like another pretty island, but the "Cathedral Rocks" seem like the main star attraction here. The rocks on the island coast appear to do some really neat geologic thing or whatever, making for a fanastic-looking structure resembling a castle or cathedral. Looks quite grand.

Skelligs

The Skellig Islands in southwestern Ireland look weird and amazing. The shapes here are sharp, thin, and look like a fantastical place to be.

Mizen Head

This is a scenic location along Ireland's rocky southern coast. There's a bridge here, and the views around that look stunning.

Les Minquiers

These basically unpopulated islands (except for temporary residents, perhaps) seem to be part of Jersey, and appear to be the southernmost part of the British Isles. Many are quite tiny; many rocky; some sandy stuff. It looks like quite an intriguing place to visit.

They might also be known as Les Ecrehous, but I could be mistaken.

Unst

This island appears to be the northernmost populated place in the United Kingdom (including all their overseas stuff, whether or not it's actually part of the "United Kingdom"), and the actual northernmost point in the U.K. is closeby as well, near a place called "Muckle Flugga" I think. The scenery in Unst includes rolling hills, seaside cliffs, beaches, and lochs. Looks very pretty, especially around the Hermaness area in the north.

Yamoussoukro

The basilica in Yamoussoukro is huge and kinda looks pretty. Also, there seem to be lots of spots for strolling by water or over it.

Tikal

These pretty famous ruins in Guatemala. A tall pyramid, and likely good places to check out the jungle top from above.

Pico Cão Grande

This huge tall peak seems basically like a tall black rock tower. In this island jungle setting, it looks quite pretty and grand.

Craters of the Moon

The ones in Idaho. Not only do those volcanic kinda things look really weird and impressive, I'm not sure how to put a lunar location on a Google map.

Hanging Lake

This lake in Colorado apparently has some very clear water, with beautiful scenery visible from trails and perhaps a boardwalk. The waterfalls here might look especially pretty in winter.

Horseshoe Bend

This part of the Colorado River is at the bottom of quite an impressive curved gorge called Horseshoe Bend, and the pictures of it seem to indicate that it's an amazing view.

U.S. Space and Rocket Center

This is that place with the rocket stuff in Huntsville, Alabama.

Scotts Bluff

A big rock or something in western Nebraska, which seems odd due to the general flatness of Nebraska.

Smith Falls

In northern Nebraska, this waterfall is in a fairly rural/remote location, it seems. It seems pretty, as do its surroundings, so one might as well check it out if they're in the area.

Moon Hill

This mountain thing in Guangxi has a natural arch that looks huge and really cool, near Yangshuo. This might or might not be categorized as part of the Hills of Guilin, which have their own post here, but this thing does look neat enough to have its post I suppose.

Sleeping Giant

Sleep Giant is a geologic formation near Thunder Bay, Ontario. The main spectacle here appears to be the views of and from the very tall cliffs up there. The park of it seems to offer other pretty scenery in addition.
