These cities around the world don't get enough credit for their stunning views, architecture, and individuality. All of these places I have had the honor to travel to, and one day I hope to go back. I have traveled all over the world, and these places definitely stand out.
All I can say is, if you ever need a getaway, travel to one of these underrated exotic places — you won't regret it. Get away from the hustle and bustle and go explore these places that you normally wouldn't travel to.
1. Rouen, France
Just a short train ride away from Paris, you could come for a day or spend days here. The individuality this place has is incredible. The architecture, amazing cuisine, and don't forget about fresh French macaroons. If you are ever in Paris, take the train down to Rouen and visit the Notre-Dame de Rouen Centre (as seen in the picture). Unfortunately. while I was there, it was under construction so we couldn't go inside, but the outside was stunning itself.
2. Bozeman, Montana
Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring — Bozeman's views are always astonishing. Nothing beats the beautiful mountains in the background any time of the season. The atmosphere of downtown Bozeman sure doesn't disappoint. Be sure to check out their local candy store while you're there also; you can get candy or old fashioned shakes and malts
3. Gold Coast, Australia
Going anywhere in Australia is a treat itself, but if you're wanting relaxing beach time but still have a tourist aspect of Australia, the Gold Coast is the perfect place for you. There are plenty of things to do, and the long sandy beach sure doesn't disappoint. With just a short plane ride from Sydney, you won't want to miss out on this beautiful getaway.
4. La Fortuna, Costa Rica
Costa Rica has stunning views throughout its country, but this is one place that I have been that really stands out. You can see the waterfall from up close or far away, but what is really cool about this hidden gem is the river rapids that are to the left of the volcano. Make sure to bring your water shoes, you'll need them!
5. Lake George, New York
When you think of New York, you probably only think of New York City. This stunning view comes from upstate New York. If you want a relaxing getaway from the city, be sure to check this place out. Its amazing views and fun atmosphere will make you want to go to New York more often!
6. Tagaytay, Philippines
Normally people don't go to the Philippines; but if you ever do get away from Manila, go see this beautiful volcano. If this view doesn't satisfy you enough, there's a theme park over looking the volcano that offers zip lining to get a closer view.
7. Malibu, California
There are many beaches in California, but this one sure stands out. It is a more popular beach, but in my mind, it is still an underrated place that is a MUST see. This is my favorite beach in California, not only for it's views of the ocean, but the houses on the beach are BEAUTIFUL. If you're ever in the LA area, take a road trip down to Malibu!
