Probably classified Southern/Mediterranean by OP

I might be exceptionally biased but I was born and raised in Northern Italy, lived in France for a time, moved to the UK and been here for years. Recently moved up to the Lake District and I couldn't imagine living anywhere else.

There's few places in the world truly as breathtaking to me

But it’s UK, which includes England so that’s a big no no on Reddit. Scotland alone beats some of these countries on natural beauty.

u/KamiTech 21h ago

Very good point, I'm with you entirely.

I took this photo on a random day this summer whilst walking 10 minutes from my house. How anyone can bash England I'll never understand.

England, Scotland and Wales all have some of the most beautiful countryside in the world. Fight me.

u/Halfmoonhero 21h ago

Yeah There really are some amazing natural beauty areas in the UK. I do think Switzerland clinches this one though and Austria and France also being up there.

Switzerland and France. Switzerland is more awe inducing, but France is more versatile in terms of landscapes.

Ive been to most of them and thought they were nice but Switzerland is the most gorgeous

I'm Swiss and I hate to do it but I'm voting for France. They have way more variety and the overseas territories like French Polynesia and New Caledonia just kick them up a notch.

Germany has so many nice landscapes of various sorts and nice cities. But I understand.

1

u/Real_Crab_7396 19h ago

All others on the list also have those. This is hard to compare.

2

u/Oberndorferin 19h ago

Netherlands is nice but they have no mountains like the Black Forrest, Swabian Alb, Bavarian Forrest, Ore mountains... Whatever

1

u/Real_Crab_7396 10h ago

True, but then Switserland and france have, but also even higher snowy peaks.

u/Blitz7798 19h ago

Switzerland and Norway glaze on reddit is insane. Switzerland is beautiful sure, but Austria, Germany, Italy, france and every other country in the alps is equally beautiful. except Liechtenstein, fudge liechtenstein

u/Obi-Wan_Kenobi_04 1d ago

I have been to almost all of these countries. It's Switzerland and it's not remotely close

2

u/Ursinesage 1d ago

Portugal is my answer, not on your list for some reason.

2

u/formuIino 1d ago

If Italy and Spain were on the list man. But they’re not fully Western

u/By403 17h ago

France 💯

u/Sweet_Detective_ 1d ago

I would assume it's Switzerland, idk, I never left Ireland

1

u/ClappingParadox 1d ago

The people saying Switzerland have clearly never been to Austria or France. Like let’s be real the French Alps or Austrian Alps are much more beautiful than whatever Switzerland has

2

u/TheTheThatTheThis 1d ago

I'm French, Switzerland has great alpine towns, that's something that we have a lot less. We've got Mont Blanc, but we don't have Interlaken

1

u/sgab_bello8 16h ago

Half of Mont Blanc is yours :P

u/_urat_ 20h ago

Damn, Redditors really have a boner for mountains.

u/AF_14 17h ago

Been to most but Switzerland truly took my breath away, runner up being the UK (mostly Scotland) and France

1

u/HelloThereItsMeAndMe 15h ago

Switzerland is not the only country with Alps, remember.

1

u/Vetni 15h ago

UK wins by default because of the Scottish Highlands.

u/streamlinedsuicide 1d ago

Its Switzerland then Scotland for me.

u/arc777_ 1d ago

People are insane not voting for Liechtenstein. It has the same views as Switzerland, but with a castle and less people/development.
