10The Azores, Portugal
Intrepid travelers will discover the raw, wild Azores approximately 1,545 kilometers off the striking coast of mainland Portugal. Some travel mavens believe that the Azores are the best place in Europe to visit for truly “breathtaking natural landscapes.” Veteran visitors confirm that it really isn’t hard to see why.
Many travelers prefer to stay in stunning Sao Miguel. Still, you should be sure to visit Pico, Faial, and São Jorge. Explore the hot springs, rugged mountains, verdant forests, and volcanic craters. Be sure to check out some of the surfing hotspots, and beaches too.
