Three Overlooked Places to Travel

August 30, 2010 :: Posted by - TravelPro :: Category - Entertainment

There are many beautiful places to travel to in the world. However, many of these places may seem overcrowded and congested. The massive gathering of people at a popular location may take away from the location’s charm and beauty. Despite the popularity of many locations around the world, there are many beautiful places that are generally overlooked in a travel itinerary. Some of these locations include:

  1. Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh: Cox’s Bazar features a 75 mile stretch of gorgeous beaches. Not only are these beaches beautiful, but often un-crowded. This stretch of sand and ocean is the longest beach in the world.  In addition to the beautiful landscape, ancient temples and pagodas are sprinkled along the coast line.
  2. Glendalough, Ireland: Ireland is one of the most beautiful countries in the world with rolling green hills and blue waters that make the most picturesque landscapes. This area includes a variety of country trails to hike and a very serene, peaceful atmosphere in which to relax.
  3. Engelberg, Switzerland: This ski resort town is quite small, but offers some of the best ski slopes in the world. This old town is beautiful and features the only revolving cable car in the world.

Best Place to Visit in Switzerland

When you think about Switzerland- what do you think of? Most likely you just thought either mountains, the alps, yodeling, or lederhosen. We are going to incorporate all of these things into the best place to visit in Switzerland.

This is why I would recommend making the time to visit the Piz Gloria.

The Piz Gloria is a revolving restaurant on the top of this mountain that was the location for the Bond, James Bond film, “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.” To reach this destination, nearly 2970m above sea level, you have to travel by a combination of train, bus, and cable car. The cable cars up the mountain give an excellent panoramic view of the valley below and the surrounding mountains.

Once you reach the mountain top restaurant, you can dine for breakfast or lunch as you revolve around and receive a 360 degree spectacular and oh-so scenic view. You can walk outside and out onto the edge of the top of the mountain- which I must say, is actually pretty scary, but well worth it!
