5 Breathtaking Destinations You Can Visit in a Day

If you need a vacation from your vacation or simply wish to take your trip one step further, this list of top 5 breathtaking destinations that you can visit in one day may be the guide you needed.

1. Lake Bled, Slovenia

Slovenia tried to lure travelers out of its capital and into its suburbs and successfully did so. Located in the Julian Alps only an hour from Ljubljana, this lake provides the most charming sight in the entire country. It is an alpine lake with tranquil waters, beautifully framed by mountains and a castle. Make sure your smartphone is charged, as you will take a lot of selfies!

2. Alentejo, Portugal

Love to eat and drink like a King? If the answer is YES then Alentejo is your paradise. Here you can find the source of Portugal’s finest wine scene along with world-famous gastro-style cuisine. There is basically nothing more you could possibly wish for, as the views are just as stunning. Michelin-star worthy food and the outdoor terrace make for the royalty scene you’ve always wished for.

3. Giverny, France

Vive la France and its breathtaking countryside villages that make you feel just like in the Hobbit. This place might explain why Claude Monet chose to spend his later years here. His house and garden can be found on an idyllic lily pond and it is located only one hour and a half drive from Paris, making every mile worth it.

4. Cesky Krumlov, Czechia

We must admit that it took a while for us to correctly pronounce the name of this place, but we can assure you that traveling to Cesky Krumlov is completely worth it. This is a 12th-century village, currently a UNESCO site (we can perfectly understand why) and is the most picturesque town in Europe. Grab a bear, take a bite and enjoy the view!

5. Battambang, Cambodia

Only three hours away from Sieam Reap, Battambang is definitely worth the journey. A funky, laid-back and historically-rich destination that will simply take your breath away. Oh, and, there’s a bamboo train that leads to the country’s ONLY winery!
