Places Around the World You Must Visit if You Love Photography
- Rome, Italy
The Eternal City is not only a delight for the camera, but it’s also packed full of fascinating historical architecture and cultural heritage that make it the perfect place for photographers and travelers alike. With so many great spots to photograph, it feels like one could spend years in Rome and still barely scratch the surface of its potential.
2. Santorini, Greece
Santorini is an island in the South Aegean Sea that is often considered to be one of the most romantic places in the world. The town of Oia, pictured below, boasts one of the most beautiful sunsets on the planet. Late each afternoon, hundreds of people gather to watch the spectacle of light as the sun dips below the watery horizon. Once it sets, the entire crowd explodes in cheers and applause.
3. Angkor Wat, Cambodia
As far as famous sunrise spots go, the reflection of Angkor Wat definitely tops my all-time favorites. When colors start to dance above the ancient temple spires, the fatigue from a severely early wake-up call is replaced by pure fascination and delight.
4. Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, Indonesia
This is one place that feels so foreign and so alien that it feels like you’re standing on another planet. In the summertime, this caldera fills with swirling ground fog and if you get to the viewpoint early enough, you can be all alone under the stars in the incredible landscape.
5. Mt Fuji, Japan
Each season in Japan is distinctly different, and photographically there are countless options to choose from, but I’d have to say that spring looks the prettiest. This is because the blooming cherry blossoms are not only a phenomenal photography subject, but they’ve also been cherished by the Japanese for hundreds of years.
