Canada has come in on top once again.
British-based travel publisher Rough Guides released their latest inspiring list of the most beautiful countries in the world, as votes by readers. And it’s no surprise Canada lands in second place. It comes second only to Scotland, which took first place among 20 nations.
“There’s nothing like an amazing view to inspire you to book your next trip, whether you’re drawn by rolling countryside, isolated islands or soaring mountain peaks,” notes Rough Guides. “To help spark your imagination, we asked our readers to vote for the most beautiful country in the world.”
Rough Guides, who probably mostly have European readers, said that Canada came in a “close call” for second place.
“In a close call for second place is Canada: home of lumberjacks, beavers and maple syrup (if you believe everything you read). But there’s much more on offer in Canada, not least its mixture of raw beauty and majestic landscapes,” it said.
And it sure does.
Still number one in our hearts, Canada.
