With 193 countries in the United Nations, Earth has something for anyone and everyone but some nations are a bit better than others and the World Population Review has ranked the Globe's most beautiful countries in 2026 and of the top 100, i have been to only 25 of them although 7 of them are in the top 10 so that's not bad.
Top and most beautiful is Greece, then it is New Zealand, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Thailand, Norway, Iceland, Australia and Austria.
Ireland is 11th, Canada 18th, France 20th, Japan 23rd, UK 45th, China 46th, Germany 50th, USA 51st and Russia 66th.
I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder and i don't know what criteria the World Population Review used to choose the most beautiful but for me Austria was breathtaking but then we was there in December with the snow and halfway up a mountain and every morning we looked out of our window at a scene from a Christmas Card so it may be very different in August although i do enjoy a mountain scenery so all of the Alpine nations would do it for me.
The UK has the green rolling hills and history going for it and France, especially Paris, is spoilt for famous monuments and statues, it must be a nightmare trying to cram it all in for a tourist guide because everywhere you look is something famous and the Scandinavian Countries have the fjords which are so beautiful that people get up in the early hours just to take a photograph.
I guess all countries have something which makes them stand out, just some of them are very well hidden.

greece... a jacked up system was used for the evaluation...
new zealand - yes
costa rica - yes
france - maybe, the larger nations are at a disadvantage
the US has desert, the grand canyon, towering mountains, extensive mountain ranges, rain forest, swaps, sweeping plains, tundra, volcanic islands, spectacular waterfalls
not sure what someone could be looking for that isn't found in the US...
greece? sounds like the un did the assessment
51st so what you offering, they didn’t fancy
greece? maybe they haven't been many places...
or maybe they are subtracting for cities, farmland, etc, in that case the US gets dinged because we have a lot people and productive land.
i don't care, but greece?
maybe one their personnel does tours and cruises to greece.
it you thought it was "conservative" you'd find a way to impugn the results. maybe they are doing it for oil...
