An iconic tourist destination in Alberta has been named on a new list highlighting the most magnificent places on Earth.

Condé Nast Traveler published a list of the 57 most beautiful places in the world on Monday, and Banff National Park was the only Canadian destination to make the cut.

“Easily one of the most beautiful spots in Canada, Banff National Park overwhelms with views of the Canadian Rockies and a regular cast of animals,” states the article.

“The park is also known for its abundance of beautiful lakes, including Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and glacial Lake Minnewanka —each more pristine than the last."
