Cities with breathtaking geographic features? Discussion

Post image

I’ve only been around the United States, Canada, Mexico, and a few European countries, so my experiences are pretty limited, and maybe I’m a little bias, but seeing Mt. Rainier on a clear day in the backdrop of the Seattle skyline takes my breath away every time.

I know there’s so many beautiful cities around the world (I don’t wanna sound like a typical American who thinks the world is just the states lol).

Interested to hear of some examples of picturesque features from across the world.

I visited Salzburg a few weeks ago! A staggeringly beautiful city. The beer I drank in the castle restaurant was the most picturesque of my life.

Is it possible to travel there cheaply, i.e. good hostels (not the party and young sort)? I've always heard it's quite expensive.

I went on a day trip from Munich, so I can’t speak on the price of hostels/hotels. It was only a 1.5hr train ride from Munich HBF. Definitely worth the trip.
