The Best Places In The World To Catch The Most Remarkable Sunsets

Some of nature’s greatest moments come from places that you least expect and when exploring the world, you’re sure to witness some of it’s greatest sights. With no exception is witnessing a sunset as it disappears over the horizon. Whether they produce a glorious array of colour that turns the sky into a picturesque setting, or a gleaming reflection against the sea as it lowers, here are some of the best places to witness the most remarkable sunsets that the world has to offer.

Grundarfjour, Iceland

When you discover that the area is situated near a lava field which is covered in acres of ice and wintery settings, you know it’s sure to provide something spectacular. Grundarjordur is a small town based in Iceland which captures a spectacular background when the sun sets below the horizon. Although it can be relatively cold, it’s a journey that’s worth taking once you see the picture it provides behind the mountains. For an ideal viewpoint, consider staying at Hotel Framnes, which is one of a few based in the town.

Taj Mahal, India

If the presence of the Taj Mahal isn’t enough to take your fancy when you visit, consider what it has to offer during the evening too when the sun starts to set in the background. During the day, there are plenty of tourists admiring one of the wonders of the world and taking pictures. Be sure to have your camera ready during the evening too, where you can capture an astonishing setting behind one of the greatest architectural creations in the world.

Great Pyramids, Egypt

Providing a rather unique setting, not only are the Pyramids another wonder of the world but with sandy yellow surfaces and camels riding around in the distance, adding a stunning sunset in the background too can offer incredible views once the sun starts setting. The open space around the Pyramids means there’s nothing to get in the way as you take in the brilliance of Egypt.
