The internet is introduced to a number of “most beautiful places in the world” lists, at regular intervals. They’re shared, debated, screenshot taken, fought over in comment sections, and promptly forgotten, until the next one drops.
This time, Infodex posted its take on X, ranking the most beautiful countries in the world. This list isn’t about one perfect beach or a single Instagram-famous mountain. Instead, it celebrates variety, the kind of beauty that changes every few hours, sometimes every few kilometres.
From dramatic coastlines and dense rainforests to ancient cities and everyday streets that somehow feel cinematic, these countries prove that beauty isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some wow you with scale, others with colour, history, chaos, calm, or all of the above at once. Here are the ten countries that made Infodex’s list, and why they linger in your head long after you’ve left.
