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.
