Few travel moments inspire that feeling of “we’re not in Kansas anymore” quite like visiting a city tucked into a scenic
hillside. Unlike cities with streets in a grid pattern, these destinations evoke nostalgia thanks to their historical architecture and awe due to the natural geology that made development challenging. From the seaside towns of Italy’s Cinque Terre to the colorful
homes of Valparaíso, Chile, these Pinterest-worthy places are what wanderlust is all about: iconic vistas, architectural gems, rich history, and discovering the new, the old, and the in-between. When it comes to these 11 hillside destinations, you’ll want
to have your camera ready. Photo by Blok 70/Flickr |
