Most beautiful countries ...

Well, it's one list, from Rough Guides.

https://www.roughguides.com/gallery/...-world/#11-usa

I don't think anyone could question most of the ones in the list, but certainly differences of opinion on the order.

Hmm, one omission right away that is surprising is Spain. Have to say, have seen very little of Canada, despite being just 2 hour-flight away. Only transited through Vancouver.

Good for a browse but these lists should be taken with a grain of Switzerland salt.

These lists are always fun but always subjective, too. I am surprised that Costa Rica is omitted from this list.

And I love Rough Guides guidebooks. So helpful in planning so many of my trips.

Yes, Spain should be a part of this list. Also, not seeing Brazil on this list is surprising too.

A little surprised that the UK is 6th and "Amazing food" is definitely not how I would describe the British menu

??? That is such old news. Back in the '80's - sure. But food in the UK is absolutely great. So many creative chefs, wonderful fresh ingredients, great seafood, meat and game, a huge number of Michelin starred restaurants, influences from all over the Commonwealth - south Asian, East Asian, African, etc etc. One really has to try hard to have a bad meal in most parts of the UK.
