I realize that while I do a lot of International travel, many people either can’t at this point in their lives or it’s their prerogative to see more of the USA, which is such a great thing. My own home country has some amazing spots to see and is well worth visiting. But if you’re itching to travel Europe but for whatever reason can’t make it there right now, don’t worry! There are so many places in the US that look like Europe and offer some amazing spots for you to explore.
Glacier National Park, Montana | Austria
The vistas and overlooks in Glacier National Park reminded me of Austria and scenes of Switzerland.
Oregon Coastline | UK Coastlines
The rugged coastlines of the UK are definitely reminiscent of Oregon’s coastline with cliffs and jagged rocks.
Palouse, Washington | Tuscany
If you want to feel like you’ve been transported to the Tuscan countryside, the Palouse area of Eastern Washington State is the spot!
Kenai Peninsula, Alaska | Norway
The fjords of Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula are reminiscent of Scandinavia scenery like Norway.
Alexandria, Virginia | UK
If you want to feel transported to a small UK town, head to historic Alexandria, Virginia.
Leavenworth, Washington | Bavaria
For a taste of Bavaria in Washington State, Leavenworth is the place.

This is so cool! I like that this is also a way for North American to experience something that may feel so foreign but close to home 🙂
Casey says
Totally! There are so many places that feel like you’ve left the continent!

Leavenworth is super kitschy but fun once in a while, Palouse is definitely beautiful though! Never even realized how those rolling hills really are reminiscent of Tuscany.

Totally! Leavenworth is so kitschy, but fun every great while. Palouse on the other hand though, seriously one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen in the world.
