From candy-colored mountains to palm leaf-shaped islands, the world as we know it looks completely different when viewed from the clouds. While hidden wonders exist all around the world, we compiled a list of places that totally transform<\/em> when viewed from above. Here are 23 of the best bird’s eye views in the world:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

23 of the World’s Best Bird’s Eye Views<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Built in the heart of Copenhagen’s Quarter of Mimersgade<\/em>, Superkilen Park<\/a> encourages physical activity and community gathering with rad features like swings, monkey bars, a boxing ring, slides, skateboard ramps, and bicycle lanes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rod Fai Market (Train Market)<\/a> in Bangkok is a huge, sprawling open-air bazaar located just outside of downtown Bangkok. Combine vintage collectables, high-end fashion, and furniture with cool restaurants, bars and snack stands. Best enjoyed from sunset to midnight, Thursday to Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plan a visit to the Netherlands during tulip season and prepared to be smacked in the face with so much color<\/em>. A bird’s eye view shows rows and rows of vibrant tulips that pop up from mid April to mid May. The best places to spot them (and take some sick Insta pics) are Noordoostpolder<\/a>, Lisse, and at the Tulip Festival in Keukenhof Gardens<\/a>, just outside of Amsterdam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Grid System in Barcelona, Spain<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After studying the city and its residents, architect Ildefons Cerd\u00e0 proposed to build Barcelona’s Eixample<\/em> as a grid pattern of equally sized cubes. This cool detail provides air circulation in the streets and higher visibility around corners. Plus, each block is oriented in a NW\/SE direction so that every household receives ample amounts of natural light daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palm Island in Dubai, UAE<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Palm Island, Dubai.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nicknamed the ‘eighth wonder of the world’, Dubai’s Palm Islands<\/a> are both the largest manmade islands and<\/em> the most impressive: each beautifully and carefully shaped like a real life palm leaf. The Palm Islands are home to 5,000 waterfront apartments, 4,000 residential villas, 1,000 water homes and 60 luxury hotels as well as a handful of marinas, health spas, shopping malls, restaurants, cinemas, sports facilities and secret dive sites, making it one of the best things to do in Dubai<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Niagra Falls in New York and Canada<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Niagra Falls, New York.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tucked between the border of Ontario and New York State sits Niagara Falls: three thundering waterfalls located at the end of Niagara River. Combined, the falls have the “highest flow rate<\/a> of any waterfall in North America.” Famous for it’s beautify and it’s power (it’s been used for hydroelectric power since 1759!), this wonder is best explored by boat<\/a> or, our preferred method, from the sky<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heart Reef in the Great Barrier Reef, Australia <\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Great Barrier Reef, Australia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Heart Reef<\/a> is a super sweet composition of coral that’s naturally formed into the shape of a heart (duh). Because the region is strictly protected, snorkeling and diving is banned, so Heart Reef is best seen from a bird’s eye view by rented helicopter or seaplane. Heart Reef is one of the cutest hearts found in nature<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transfagarasan Highway in Transylvania, Romania<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Transfagarasan Highway, Transylvania, Romania. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While unbelievable from a bird’s eye view, the best way to explore Transylvania (AKA, Dracula’s hometown) <\/a>is actually by car. But be wary, the winding road of the Transfagarasan Highway is filled with endless curves, dramatic drops, wandering sheep, and almost no barrier protection. You’ve been warned. Make a pit stop at the famous Romanian castle<\/a>, Bran’s Castle, castle and explore one of the most mysterious places on earth<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rice Paddies in M\u00f9 Cang Ch\u1ea3i, Vietnam<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Rice Paddies in M\u00f9 Cang Ch\u00e0i, Vietnam. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

M\u00f9 Cang Ch\u1ea3i is a rural district in the Northeast region of Vietnam. While small in size, this spot has a big reputation for it’s breathtaking rice terrace fields, stretching across 2,200 hectares of mountainside. The best time to visit is in the beginning of October when the rice harvest begins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo, Japan<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Shiyuba Crossing, Tokyo, Japan.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tokyo’s iconic intersection is best enjoyed from a bird’s eye view. The sprawling scramble intersection just outside Shibuya Station is an embodiment of Tokyo itself: action in all directions. For a view above the madness, visit Magnet by Shibuya 109<\/a>, the 25th floor of the Shibuya Excel Hotel Tokyu<\/a>, or L\u2019Occitane Caf\u00e9<\/a>. Think Shibuya Crossing looks cool during the day? Try seeing this iconic illuminated place<\/a> at night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fort Bourtange in Bourtange, Netherlands<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Fort Bourtange, Bourtange, Netherlands. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Impressive from the ground (and insane from a bird’s eye view), Fort Bourtange is a star-shaped man-made wonder in Bourtange, Netherlands. Built in the 15th century, this fort’s main purpose was to control the only road between Germany and Groningen, which was controlled by the Spaniards during the time of the Eighty Years’ War. Today, the property’s museum and gardens <\/a>are open to the public and provides a sweet mix of history and natural beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inle Lake in Myanmar<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Inle Lake, Myanmar.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With no roads or sidewalks, Inle Lake locals and tourists get around in one-person-wide wooden boats, slowly maneuvering through floating shops, hotels, and villages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lake Natron in Tanzania<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Lake Natron, Tanzania. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lake Natron in Tanzania is one of the most serene lakes in Africa,\u00a0but also the one of the most deadly. “The alkaline water in Lake Natron has a pH as high as 10.5<\/a> and is so caustic it can burn the skin and eyes of animals that aren’t adapted to it.” After the temp heats up, the bacteria present inside the pond exude a red pigment, resulting in a stunning deep pink color, making it one of the most vibrant red places<\/a> on Earth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mallorca Beach in Mallorca, Spain<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Mallorca, Spain.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mallorca (Majorca), one of Spain’s Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean, is known for swanky beach resorts and sheltered hidden coves. On the coast, visitors and locals can bask in around 300 days of sunshine per year, resulting in some of the best beaches in Spain<\/a>, covered in colorful umbrellas and fruit-filled drinks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zhangye National Geopark, Gangsu, China<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Zhangye National Geopark<\/a>‘s candy-colored mountains are true magic (and a UNESCO World Heritage Site as of 2009). How were they formed? Layers of multi-colored sandstone and minerals were pressed together over millions of years. To view, walk to one of the site’s four viewing platforms, or take a bus and explore the whole park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hutt Lagoon in Port Gregory, Australia<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Hutt Lagoon, Port Gregory, Australia. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After a visit to Hutt Lagoon in Australia<\/a>, you’ll be thinking “algae never looked so good!” The town of Port Gregory was once a small fishing village, but now is a holiday hotspot for fishing and diving. Depending on the time of year and weather, the algae in Hutt Lagoon cause the water to transform from a red to pink to purple. The best time of day to visit this perfectly pink place<\/a> is typically mid-morning or sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victory Monument in Bangkok, Thailand<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Victory Monument, Bangkok, Thailand. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Victory Monument<\/a> is one of the busiest transportation hubs in all of Bangkok\u2014 and a popular hangout spot for Thai locals. There are two malls surrounding the monument and a night market that opens from dusk til dawn. From a bird’s eye view, the hub forms an eye, lit up by zooming cars and street lights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pearl-Qatar in Doha, Qatar<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Pearl-Qatar, Doha, Qatar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The property’s pearl-like shape offers 360 views of the ocean and the city. On land, Doha offers luxury shopping, swanky hotels, and unbelievable local cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
Olive trees, Meknes, Morocco<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fun fact: Morocco is the world’s fourth largest olive oil producer! Olive trees thrive in the Mediterranean climate with yearly temperatures between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius, rainy winters followed by sunny springs, and hot summers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Koluglj\u00fafur Canyon in Koluglj\u00fafur,\u00a0Iceland<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Koluglj\u00fafur Canyon, Koluglj\u00fafur, Iceland.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/

\"\"\/
Comfort Town, Kyiv, Ukraine.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A bright, welcoming pop of color in a drab Soviet-era cityscape, Kyiv’s Comfort Town was purposefully designed to awaken the senses and create community. Where the Soviet system was built on the sea of state-owned public property (it was available to everyone), Comfort Town is decidedly private and inward-facing, with community gardens, courtyards and gathering spaces tucked carefully inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

H\u1ea1 Long Bay in Vietnam<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
H\u1ea1 Long Bay, Vietnam.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

H\u1ea1 Long Bay in northeast Vietnam is known for being one of the best things to do in Vietnam<\/a> with crisp emerald waters and thousands of towering limestone islands topped by rainforests. Hop in a junk boat<\/em> or kayak and cruise aimlessly amongst the endless maze of floating villages and markets. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
