800 | Nestled by mountains - Kibungan, Philippines | null | [removed] |
|
801 | Ireland 2022 | Some photos from a recent trip to Ireland in November. Rented a car and stayed for 8 days total. Started in Dublin, then on to Cork, Killarney, Galway, and finally circled back to Dublin.
The people were incredibly welcoming and friendly, the food was fantastic, and the stories are true that Guinness tastes significantly better from the source. | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/zud4a1 | Nice pictures, thanks for posting!
It's indeed a very friendly country with a lot to see, and great pubs... |
802 | long weekend in Venice drinking prosecco and eating gelato | null | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/odlbk2 | Venice is one of those places that every human should visit. There's nothing else like it. |
803 | Had a great day in Ninh Binh Vietnam :) | null | That's my nation guys....SO proud of that <3 <3 |
|
804 | Yosemite National Park, California. Most amazing view I've see in my life | null | I go every year and am still in awe of the valley. There is one man who could describe the beauty of America;John Muir.
"The forests of America, however slighted by man, must have been a great delight to God; for they were the best he ever planted. The whole continent was a garden, and from the beginning, it seemed to be favored above all the other wild parks and gardens of the globe."- John Muir |
|
805 | Going up the funicular in Como but facing the lake. | null | https://v.redd.it/q3l0kko5wwo21 | Man oh man! I’d love to visit there. |
806 | It's almost been year since I've been to Switzerland. (Schilthorn Mountain) | null | https://v.redd.it/adukrsj67mu41 | Awesome shot! Are you controlling the drone or is someone else out of the shot? |
807 | Eye-catching ceramic artwork in blue and white on a wall in Porto. | null | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/12fpqv9 | That first shot would have been a great shot even just of the wall by itself, but the scooter rider adds a nice splash of color (not to mention a bit of fun and levity) that makes the picture outstanding. Well done! |
808 | On our train ride to Mürren, Switzerland | null | That seems like it's out of a Milka ad. |
|
809 | I managed to get into the Seychelles just before the lockdown started. The memories of this island keep me going through while I am at home | null | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/ksh8jd | Who else thought that was a two headed turtle |
810 | Meguro River, Tokyo, Japan - Felt like it was snowing when the cherry blossom pedals would fall. Can't wait to go back! | null | Absolutely stunning. I love it. |
|
811 | San Francisco, you have my heart. | null | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/t5vn5p | The “not sure what this is” is Yerba Buena island, and Treasure Island to the left. |
812 | The breathtaking view from out Airbnb on the Isle of Skye | null | Gorgeous! I plan on making it out to the Isle of Skye eventually! |
|
813 | Seoul is gorgeous at night | null | I'm currently living in Hong Kong and took a long weekend trip to Korea in mid-September. It ended up being the perfect time, as I got to skip out on Typhoon Mangkhut and visited the DMZ the first day of the summit between Moon Jae-In and Kim Jong-Un. It was quite surreal to see them motorcading into Pyongyang live on all the TVs in the DMZ's deserted inter-Korean transit office!
This picture was taken from N Seoul Tower in Namsan Park. It's the best spot to watch the sun set over the city. Pro tip – there are two floors in the observation deck, so if the top is completely packed just head down one level to where the bar and bathrooms are. You can still see almost all the way around and it's way less crowded. |

814 | Corvara in the Italian Dolomites | null | Bonus pic: the view from our bedroom window - https://imgur.com/bPuv5D7 |
|
815 | Mt. Koya, Japan. Stayed in a traditional Buddhist inn. | null | Mt. Koya is in Wakayama prefecture and is home to some crazy beautiful scenery. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to Kobo Daishi's mausoleum and the most gorgeous cemetery you have ever seen (Okunoin). I lived in Japan for two years, so I'm always happy to answer travel questions!
Edit: Not an “inn” - some people take issue with this word. It was a “temple stay”. But you can expect it to be exactly like an inn. Room, breakfast and dinner served, hot springs. Just with monks, meditation, and vegetarian cuisine! |
|
816 | Went to Dublin for the first time and it’s truly magical! | null | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/x7f394 | I went to Temple Bar expecting to endure a terrible tourist trap for 20 minutes before moving on.
It was full of tourists and sold its own merchandise, but it was so much fun. Dublin pubs are something special. |
817 | Taormina, Italy | null | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/10k8r0w | _White Lotus season 2 intro music_ |
818 | Went to VUE Bar in Shanghai - this was my view | null | I always love the hazy quality to night time views of Shanghai. Can't wait to get there one day. |
|
819 | Cool lighting in Amsterdam | null | I love Amsterdam. There’s something special about how the light plays on the waters there. |
|
820 | View Over Halong Bay - The Best $2 Ever Spent! | null | Just writing a huge post with many information on Halong Bay from a different perspective.
It's one of the most touristic places in the world, but you can easily escape crowds and have the most amazing experience! :)
Thank you so much for a huge interest in details on how to get on that spot!
I was there two times (sunset and sunrise) and I must say it's totally worth it! I'm not sure about boat tours and experience from these first-hand, but people told me it's crowded and not worth the money.
I want to give back to this amazing community, so as many people asked, I created a detailed blog post covering all the aspects.
Here you can see all the details to have a different view of Halong Bay: http://vietnamchronicles.com/halong-bay-vietnam/
Hope you guys will enjoy and I'm here if you have any questions! Cheers and enjoy your trip! :) |

821 | A trip through Venice on the canals. | null | Still getting used to reddit, but sure. BTW this is my first ever post.
Took a two week vacation with my family of eight out to Italy. Spent time in Rome, Florence, Venice, and Milan, but, I have to say that undoubtably Venice is by FAR the most beautiful city in, not only Italy, but any country I’ve ever been.
A labyrinth on water, this city’s rustic beauty is absolutely unparalleled. |
|
822 | Blue Lagoon in Iceland | null | https://v.redd.it/lc792rsq45a11 | Definitely was the best choice to go straight there from the airport. Thermal spas after a 9 hour flight? Yes please. |
823 | Lauterbrunnen | null | Switzerland is blowing me away. I've seen countless pictures so my expectations were sky high. But it is exceeding my wildest expectations! The only ouch is the Swiss prices. But totally worth it, if you can afford it |
|
824 | Stuck in Norway Part II: Into the West | null | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/inmks4 | I'm a citizen of Norway, and because coronavirus, we've been strongly encouraged to not leave Norway for non-essential purposes since March. Therefore this summer basically became a series of road trips.
This one in particular is very easy to repeat if you ever come to Norway and have a rental car for 4 or 5 days. Fly into Oslo airport, get your car, drive to Bergen along one route, have a look around the fjords, and then return to Oslo airport via another route. Bring a tent and you can sleep for cheap at camping grounds where bathroom and kitchen facilities are available.
None of the things you see in these photos require paying an entrance fee, but there are some toll roads, and ferries is also an expense. They're usually a really nice ride, though, and the amount of fuel saved by crossing a fjord instead of driving around it makes them so worth it.
If you have any questions about anything, I'll be happy to answer them.
Edit: if you’re interested, there’s an extended version of this at

825 | First time in Dubai, top of Burj Khalifa. | null | This city always seems like it has no soul |
|
826 | QingJing Farm Views outside Taichung City, Taiwan | null | Hi! I am visiting Taichung and was able to get out of the city and see some of the mountains, including QingJing Farm and the new skywalk installed near it. I was blessed with a sunny day! |
|
827 | One of many absolutely breathtaking lagoons in Coron, Palawan | null | Ain't this the Big Lagoon in El Nido? |
|
828 | Seriously this view was unreal. Reward after a hike in very hot conditions! This was at the top of the Observation Point Trail in Zion National Park. | null | https://v.redd.it/zufmogj5rqm11 | Been here. If you don't feel like putting your life at risk for a view at Angels Landing, Observation Point offers practically the same view with a beautiful trail. |
829 | Wife and I are 9 months into a year-long backpacking trip. Ask us anything. | null | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/12yjmip | how do you manage small fights/arguments/needing to take personal space when one or both is stressed/upset? |
830 | Reykjadalur Hot Springs River near Hveragerði, Iceland | null | One of the most beautiful experiences of my life was hiking up to this. |
|
831 | I took a train from Croatia to Germany a few years back, and we went through the Alps. Gotta say, the view from my window wasn’t so bad 😉 who else enjoys travelling by rail? | null | I have done the following with train (total of 20-25 days, as I stayed 2-3 days in each city):
Bari -> Venice -> Vienna -> Frankfurt -> Amsterdam -> Paris -> Milan -> Rome -> Bari
Traveling by train in Europe is fantastic experience! |
|
832 | One of the most peaceful places to have lunch is in Koggala, Sri Lanka. | null | I read most of the comments and I just thought of writing this one. I'm from Sri Lanka, and it did sadden me a bit to see some negative comments. I'm not saying they are unwarranted, however I would like to make some suggestions for any one planning a trip to Sri Lanka.
The first suggestion would be to plan your trip towards the end of the year, maybe November or December since these are relatively cooler months.
I would suggest that you visit, Pollonnaruwa, Sigiriya, Galle, Nuwara Eliya, Kandy, Jaffna, Pasikuda, Anuradhapura, and Arugambay. Sri Lanka has a rich history of over 2500 years. Some of the ruins date over 1500 years.
Unawatuna, Arugambay and Pasikuda will give you some of the best beaches that you've ever been to. Unawatuna was once featured on Discovery as one of the best beaches in the world.
Nuwara Eliya and Kandy will give you a taste of the hill country, colder climate and scenic beauty if the tea estates.
People can be ass holes. Traffic can be a nightmare. Which might be true in many places that are similar in size and context.
Sri Lanka is still recovering from a 30 year civil war, please be gentle.
On behalf of the country and the people I apologize for any bad experiences that you might have had.

833 | One of our stops at our roadtrip through Saxony this week. Bastei Bridge, Saxony, Germany | null | Wow, amazing shot! It looks like it's from some sort of fantasy movie. |
|
834 | I visited seven countries in 2018, this shot at Nymphenburg Palace in Munich, Germany from June is my absolute favorite of all my photographs. | null | I'm happy to note that you survived the swan attack. |

835 | Liechtenstein is too beautiful to describe | null | I've heard there's absolutely nothing to do there (and decided to skip it on a recent trip). Rebuttal? |
|
836 | Currently on a 9 day camper van road trip around Iceland with my girlfriend. Took this photo this morning on the Stokksnes peninsula. | null | It's such a beautiful place! When me and my gf went last year we saw a camper can get absolutely buried in the sand. Had to get a local from the horse farm to use his tractor to pull it out lol. Great pic though! |
|
837 | Was supposed to go to Canada but ended up going to Utah instead. Bryce Canyon National Park is marvelous. | null | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/jmhpmh | Love Bryce canyon so much. Did a huge cross country trip about 10 years ago and visited the grand canyon shortly after.
While GC is certainly more vast I found so much more beauty in BC. |
838 | The Mutianyu section of The Great Wall of China | null | I was in Beijing 1 1/2 week in 2007. The only day it was clear was the day we went to Mutianyu and it was perfect. I remember getting there early and there were no people there except for 1 to 2 vendors. You can see miles and miles away. Theres also a German Toboggan slide going back down the great wall. Really really awesome. Put aside the pollution, noise, and traffic from the urban center and its really serene at Mutianyu. Of course until the tour buses arrive 1-2 hours later lol. |
|
839 | Angkor temples are truly astounding | null | Best advice is always to go as early in the as possible |

840 | Here are some of my favorite pictures from my Italy trip. December 2022 | null | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/11hkxne | Coincidentally, these are my favourite pictures from your Italy trip, too. |
841 | Picturesque town of Eguisheim located in Alsace, France | null | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/r2puxk | Alsace is such an underrated destination especially for non-Europeans. It makes me sad when lots of people who don't even like big cities only go to Paris Rome London etc. when they'd be 10x more wowed by these tiny out of a fairytale towns. |
842 | Maybe the nicest beer garden in the world? Hohenzollern Castle. Baden-Württemberg, Germany. | null | We have nice beer gardens like that all over the country. |
|
843 | Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe at dusk! | null | https://v.redd.it/of2ccolx5tx01 | Zimbabwe is SUCH an underrated place. |
844 | I don't know about you guys, but one the main reasons I travel is the food. | null | http://imgur.com/a/Syux3 | [deleted] |
845 | Cochem, Germany. A cozy and atmospheric city with the Reichsburg visible from almost anywhere! | null | I was just there last month and stayed a week on that yellow hotel to the left |
|
846 | My wife and I are turning a transit bus into a home on wheels so we can travel the US a bit. Here's what it looks like 4 months in. | null | http://i.imgur.com/pV5Gx0f.jpg | You're gonna make a post in /r/DIY right? |
847 | Over 2000 limestone formations at Halong Bay, Vietnam - absolutely mesmerizing | null | I love northern Vietnamese food! I also love southern Vietnamese food. I'm being no help here. |

Edit: Thanks for the gold !!! My first one |
|
849 | Captured in Riomaggiore, Italy some 5 minutes ago. | null | I've been to Cinque Terre last year. No doubt, they're all five among the most gorgeous places in Europe, if not in the world. Manarola is my personal favorite, but Vernazza slaps too |
|
850 | Gent, Belgium 🏰 | null | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/tyd2ny | Looks wet - just like it was when I visited! |
851 | Couldn't resist taking this colorful shot while visiting the Taj Mahal | null | Sadly, I was an adult before I learned it is not, in fact, the "Tajma Hall." |
|
852 | Does anyone else hate Airbnb? | It seemed like it used to be great prices with cool perks like a kitchen and laundry. But the expensive fees have become outrageous. It's not cheaper than a nice hotel. Early checkouts and cancellations to reservations are impossible. And YOU get rated as a guest. Hotels aren't allowed to leave public ratings about you. Don't even get me started on the horrible customer service. Is anyone else experiencing this? Have you found a good alternative or way to use the service?
For some reason I keep going back but feel trapped in an abusive relationship with them. | https://www.reddit.com/r/travel/comments/vns8ny/does_anyone_else_hate_airbnb/ | Lately I’ve been going back to hotels and it’s namely that “hey do all this cleanup before you leave but also $300 cleaning fee” business that is pushing me away from Airbnb. |
853 | Ninh Binh Province better than Ha Long Bay in Vietnam, even in winter - AMA | null | Seconded. Hit the rowboat ride through the caves; worth every VND! |
|
854 | "Burg Eltz" from Germany! Tickets are only €11/ person. It reminds me of Hogwarts from Harry Potter! What do you think? | null | This is a great day trip from Köln. The little village nearby that has the closest train station, Moselkern, is cute to walk through. There is a spooky house on the walk to Burg Eltz from Moselkern, and the walk through the forested area is pretty. Also, there is a good restaurant with really nice desserts nearby. |
|
855 | There’s nothing quite like an alpine lake to make you feel small - 📍Alpine Lakes Wilderness, Washington State, USA | null | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/jlgpco | [deleted] |
856 | This is one of my favourite pic I took, while visiting Taormina, Italy 🇮🇹 | null | I did a tour for a week all around Sicily but DIDN’T go to Taormina and I have to go back!! Looks stunning! |
|
857 | Typical finnish cabin covered with snow. This shot was made in Lapland - a unique place where the sunrise is at the same time the sunset. | null | We went to Luosto, Finnish Lapland, for our honeymoon, and rented a little wooden cabin. It was the best week ever and it was really hard to adjust to my daily life back in Paris. |
|
858 | Always wanted to see the northern lights. Spent a few nights in Tromsø, Norway and made it happen. | null | Went to Tromso hoping to see the northern lights. Managed to see them 3 out of the 5 nights there, plus had a lot of fun during the daytime feeding reindeer, dog sledding, and seeing the fjords. [More photos here](https://imgur.com/a/d7R5p), and some info below if anyone else is interested in making a similar trip.
Tromso's located over 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle -- a great spot to catch the lights. I went with my family in late November, during the polar night. This is when the sun never rises above the horizon. When we went, there were roughly 5-6 hours of dawn/dusk-like light from around 9-3, then after that it was pitch black. It's a little disorienting, but you can only see the northern lights when it's dark out, so this is a perfect time to go.
Besides darkness, you also need clear skies. We booked two nights of northern lights chases with one of the numerous tour companies, and both nights it was super cloudy around Tromso, so we drove out of the city and inland toward Finland (sometimes the tours will even cross the border into Finland, so bring your passport just in case that happens).
We got lucky and saw the lights on both nights of the tour. If you don't already know, be aware that photos of the lights are deceiving. Camera sensors absorb light in ways our eyes can't, and in real life the lights looked more like green-tinged clouds ([this article](https://petapixel.com/2016/01/22/the-truth-and-lies-of-those-aurora-photos-you-see/) demonstrates photos vs reality pretty well). Don't get me wrong, it was still amazing to see, especially when the lights really started dancing, but I imagine people will be disappointed if they don't know what to expect.
If you want to take photos of the lights, it's way easier if you have a real camera and a tripod (to keep steady during long exposures). You can take photos on your phone too I suppose, except all of our phones stopped working outside since it was so cold, and long exposures aren't that easy to set up on them.
For the picture in this post, my settings were f4, 10s, ISO 3200. I don't know if those are the ideal settings or not, but I played around for a bit and when these worked, I used them as a starting point for my other shots (except for [this time](https://imgur.com/GnYeoTQ) when I stupidly left my tripod at the airbnb and had to go handheld and up to ISO 20000).
Besides the northern lights, there are a lot of other fun outdoor activities. We fed reindeer, went dog sledding (but mainly just wanted to play with the puppies), and took a car tour through the fjords. Wanted to go whale watching, but there wasn't enough time and the whales hadn't made their way to the area yet (some of the tours were cancelled, and others that weren't were driving people four hours out to where they were).
The town is also very laid back and nice to walk through. Tromsdalen is where the Arctic Cathedral is, and not too far away you can take a cable car up the mountain for some really amazing views. |

Thanks for making my day a little brighter 🙂 |
861 | The seemingly endless Bunda cliffs in Australia are one of the most surreal sights I have seen in my travels. | null | http://i.imgur.com/ESZ5amq.jpg | [I think it was taken from this point](https://www.google.ch/maps/place/Great+Australian+Bight/@-31.610522,129.7747275,3491m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xe51f99ca54b6ca5!8m2!3d-31.6064093!4d129.7766756). The viewpoint is very easy to reach - just 100m off the main highway. Which is itself just 1200km from anything you might call an actual city.
The empty vastness of the sea and the Nullarbor plains there is rather astounding. And you do of course get [this image](http://i.imgur.com/XpUKABV.jpg) as you drive along the road.
We drove from Melbourne to Perth in about 30 days. A few other spots I would suggest checking out are: the great ocean road (obviously), the Wilpena Pound in the Flinders Range, the perfect white beaches near Esperance, and climbing the Bicentennial Tree and Yeagarup Dunes near Pemberton. |
862 | I was in Paris once and fell in love with her cafés | null | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/1023p5f | For our honeymoon we stayed In a crappy apartment in the 20 arrindossement. The owner drive us from the airport. I remember the road was closed so the only access was to go the wrong way down a one way street. He looked at us gave us a very gallic shrug and said "they leave me no choice" and drove really fast up the road. We were laughing in terror.
It had really cool Cafe next door. I would get coffee in the morning and watch the fathers stop in for a brandy as they walked their kids to school. All very well dressed. The only bad thing was all the dog shit on the sidewalks. |
863 | I took this photo of the bridge in Mostar, Bosnia i Herzegovina, in 2018. No filter. Thinking of my homeland today so I wanted to share it with you all. | null | I fell in love with B&H and specifically Mostar when I visited 4 years ago. Scenery is breathtaking, visiting the old city of Mostar, eating a the best palacinke (pancake or crep like sweets) I had all over the Balkans made in a street food post runned by a couple of young locals, visiting Blagaj.... It was a magical experience.
Sarajevo and Trevnik completed and amazing stay in the country. I deeply recommend everybody visiting. |

864 | Porto, Portugal Photographs Well | null | The HDR is strong with this one. |
|
865 | Lucky me, caught the snow in London during my 5 days. | null | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/zm20h2 | That fish and chips photo is my fave. I would make Christmas cards out of that! |
866 | Places like these make travel so worthwhile — Suzhou, China | null | That is SUCH a gorgeous place! Imagine living in one of the houses and waking up to a view of the rising sun and having your tea to the view of a boat lazily floating by. |
|
867 | Just arrived in Hong Kong and the views did not disappoint. | null | Cloud looks like Godzilla |
|
868 | Travelling through Oaxaca, Mexico, on Día de Muertos is just incredibly beautiful. This is the main Altar in Oaxaca City's Zócalo. | null | This makes me want to go rewatch Coco. Such an amazing movie. |
|
869 | How about winter in Bavaria, Germany! | null | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/zz06ah | It’s looks like a place from a fairy tale |
870 | Views From Remote Region Of Georgia, Svaneti. | null | Thanks for the wonderful picture. I am so keen to visit Georgia when travel becomes safe again. I heard the people are amazing and there is so much to see and do. I love travelling the world and meeting the awesome people who live in it. |

|
873 | A post on this subreddit convinced me to go to Romsdalseggen in Norway and it was one of the best decisions of my life | null | Great picture! Always wanted to go to Norway. |
|
874 | You rarely hear about Monterosso when Cinque Terre is mentioned but it’s quite lovely | null | If you ever find yourself in Monterosso al Mare, I highly incredibly suggest you seek out a small bar there called "Da Eraldo".
When we went there, [we ordered the antipasto good for two for just 20 euros](https://www.tripadvisor.com/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g187820-d4453599-i173245248-Da_Eraldo-Monterosso_al_Mare_Cinque_Terre_Italian_Riviera_Liguria.html), and we got our table filled with meats, cheese, fruits, grilled vegetables, seafood, almost everything we might imagine an ideal smorgasborg can be like.
It was supposed to be our appetizer but it's more than a meal! |
|
875 | Got this once in a lifetime experience in the Skeleton Coast of Namibia last month. Tranquillizing and GPS Collaring a critically endangered wild desert lioness in the Hoarusib River Valley with Dr. Philip Stander. | null | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/yyn9by | That’s awesome…. Can other people do that too, or did you get lucky |
876 | Hobbiton Movie Set in New Zealand! | null | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/10ig2ph | I’ve been there, too. It’s so cool and a lot bigger and more authentic than I had expected. |
877 | Those colours. No edits. Deadvlei in Namibia. | null | nice! Otherworldly. One of my favorite photos is of deadvlei - https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2011/06/frans-lanting-behind-the-photo/

|
878 | Saksun village in Streymoy Island, when I visited the Faroe Islands in 2019 | null | Faroe Islands is a magical place. Majestic landscapes, not yet crowded (although it started to be). You should come and visit as soon as you can, to listen to the lament of the lost moors before it becomes the shouting of tourists 😊 |
|
879 | While covid killed most of the travelling, I do enjoy New Zealand without tourists. (Mt. Cook, Tekapo) | null | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/k3kaxu | Hopefully wildlife around the world gets a little breather. |
880 | The short but impressive walk inside the Leutaschklamm / Geisterklamm (Mittenwald ,Germany). You enter in Germany, go straight into Austria, then come back out into Germany. | null | We spent a few nights in Mittenwald as part of a bigger trip through Germany. [The full outline/report of that is here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/TravelNoPics/comments/9f9vsq/report_i_spent_2_weeks_city_hoping_through/)
Leutaschklamm / Geisterklamm makes it a bit confusing. Leutaschklamm (Klamm being a gorge) seems to be the more official name. Whereas Geisterklamm (Spirit gorge) is what they are promoting it with. If I have understood it right.
**Regarding Mittenwald**
* [Gästehaus Edlhuber]( https://www.edlhuber-mittenwald.de/). By far the best place we stayed. Lovely family run place with their pets wandering around. Breakfast was fantastic. This was the most expensive room per night, but it was essentially a private flat which was great for a few days to unwind in the mountains.
* Town itself is nice and well worth a look around, but very much not the reason to be in the area. The reason being the mountains which tower above the town. The [Lüftmalerei]( https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%BCftlmalerei) (painted houses) can be nice, though most were done with sickly sweet Disney-like scenes which are a bit too twee for my liking.
* Being further than many other alpine spots from Munich (2hrs by train and lacking a fancy castle) it was fairly quiet tourist wise. Though getting an outside table at 7pm was a bit of a challenge.
* The beer from the Mittenwald Brauerei is found all over town and was one of my favourites from the trip.
* Someone missed out on a marketing op by not making a mangled cross language pun and selling Mittenwald Mittens.
* You can walk into Austria in 30 minutes from the middle of town. Many of the local outdoor routes take you back and forth over it.
There are endless outdoor activities in the area. The tourist info office has info on various hikes and other activities in the area.
* [The Geisterklamm]( https://www.karwendel-urlaub.de/was-tun/wandern/mittenwald/geisterklamm/) (spirit gorge) is a 20 minute walk from the centre of town. The café at the base is right up against the Austrian border and as soon as you walk into or up the gorge you are crossing over. You can pay 3E to enter the deep gorge for a few hundred meters up to a waterfall. The waterfall itself is not overly impressive but the walkways through the gorge are worth the entry fee. You can also buy some fish food to feed the trout at the mouth of the gorge – for 20cents this is surprisingly good fun as those fish are amazingly perceptive, fast, and accurate. The other attraction is the loop walk above the gorge. The northern half is composed of metal walkways sitting up on the side of the gorge and some impressive bridges over it, whilst the southern half goes through the forest. The initial climb from the café might be slightly tough going for some people but it isn’t anything too crazy as it is very much aimed at families (with lots of activities and story signs for the kids).
* The cable-car up to Karwendel ([Karwendelbahn]( https://www.karwendelbahn.de/en/)) offers the most impressive views. Though it is a bit expensive and has rather low capacity – but you can swap the deposit on the tickets for a beer glass. At the top is an info centre (in German), a restaurant/café with views limited to the bowl at the top, and most importantly the panorama walk which takes you around the edge of the bowl and offers the best views in the area (even letting you cross into Austria). There are hiking and via ferrata routes up/down and around the peak but they are very stony and steep so are not for the casual walker.
* The gentle hills forests and lakes around Kranzberg on the other side of the town offer much easier hiking and walking with good views. There is an infrequent bus going up to the lakes and the Kranzbergbahn is an easy way up (once you have climbed to the valley station and providing you don’t mind open and bouncy single seat chairs).

881 | Took a trip to Hallstatt, and it took me | null | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/pts5k2 | Austrian here. It's so cool that you guys get so much happiness out of what seems rather mundane to us - makes me look at my country in a whole different way.
Just a hint: There are many places in the area that are similarly beautiful, but lot less overrun, and expensive. |
882 | Lalibela, Ethiopia (one year ago today) | null | I'd love to see this thing.
Carving an entire building out of a single massive rock is the kind of fresh nonsense I love. |
|
883 | Mt. Fuji, Japan | null | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/pdztlr | Glad i managed to make the hike back in '19 because today my knee is destroyed.
The view on the top of fuji-san is magnificent. |
884 | Spent the whole morning exploring Quinta da Regaleira, this natural hidden gem in Sintra. Definitely the biggest surprise in the town in our opinion. | null | It’s not hidden at all. It’s actually one of the main attractions there in Sintra. And it’s man made. |
|
885 | My friends and I recreated Apple's newest wallpaper for macOS Big Sur by renting a helicopter and flying 4000 feet over the Big Sur, CA coast. This adventure was much harder to recreate than last year's Catalina photo (our photos left, Apple's right) | null | So did Apple just 'shop out the surf? Your pix look more realistic. |
|
886 | Croatian Plitvice Lakes national park reopened after 2 months lockdown to only a handful of visitors offering promotional ticket prices. Normally up to 10.000 visitors would be walking through the park on a day like this. A surreal experience visiting a empty turist hotspot. | null | Beautiful! I went there a few years ago, on that pathway there were so many people the line had to shuffle along at a snail's pace. You are very lucky to have it all to yourself!! |
|
887 | I’m stuck inside missing my time in Czech Republic last year. This photo was taken in Cesky Krumlov, which is an easy day trip from Prague. | null | Krumlov is amazing. It’s well worth it to stay overnight for one or two nights and just enjoy the slow paced small-town way of life.
When I went in 2016 I spent a day floating down the river in a tube, stopping every once in a while for a beer. |

888 | View from our tea house on the Annapurna Circuit, Upper Pisang, Nepal | null | Unbelievably stunning. Thanks for sharing! What’s the name of your accommodations? |
|
889 | Traveled to Hawaii at 2019 for 2 weeks. Went to Honolulu, Waikiki beach, and other islands around during the summer and it was beautiful! | null | To anyone going on Oahu, Leonard’s Donuts. Worth it. |
|
890 | Larches and the Matterhorn from a train in Switzerland | null | This picture was taken yesterday, 22.10.2021, on the way back down on the Gornergrat Bahn train near Zermatt, Switzerland. It was absolutely perfect weather and the larches are glowing right now. |
|
891 | Took this photo after a massive snowfall at Black Sand Beach Iceland. | null | "Massive snowfall" seems like a stretch, but damn that's a cool picture. |
|
892 | Ticked off a bucket list item by visiting Petra Jordan in 2018. Absolutely amazing | null | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/mw0zla | Petra is probably my favorite archaeological site in the world and I’ve been to many of the most famous ones.
I think what people fail to appreciate about Petra from the photos is how *massive* these ruins are. They are way bigger than you’d expect from the pictures. |
893 | The view from my homestay in Sapa, Vietnam | null | We are going in a couple of months. How was it? Which valley did you go to? |
|
894 | It doesn't get much nicer than a sunny day in Oxford! | null | Funny how a sunny day in oxford shows the majority of the sky covered in cloud still |
|
895 | Malta: An island where the cultures of Europe, Africa and the Middle East blend into a place that incapacitates what truly makes travel exciting | null | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/pphezg | Encapsulates? |
896 | Take the boat to Burano when visiting Venice - you won't regret it | null | been there twice and its one of the few places i actually felt bad about being a tourist in. I just imagine one time not too long ago, it was a peaceful place away from the crowds in Venice, now there's just a bunch of tourists taking pictures in front of peoples houses. Still super beautiful and worth the trip if you're in Venice. |

897 | Went to Santorini, and I loved it. Did not know a place could be quite so lovely. | null | [deleted] |
|
898 | Seoul is a neon paradise | null | I only point this out since this is r/travel, but the color palette here is wildly inaccurate, done for artistic purposes.
Seoul has some neon, but the bulk of the color palette is colorful signs lit by fluorescent tubes or other normal lighting. It won't look like a UV black light party.
Definitely get lost in Seoul at night. It'll look like this:

899 | Some pictures from a trip last year to the Pyramids of Meroë in Sudan 🇸🇩 | null | https://www.reddit.com/gallery/iwixpv | Never heard of this place. Looks so cool! |
