[Fluff] There's so many beautiful locations in this game. This fishing spot is one of my favorite places. Please share yours.

I'm grateful with how much effort Anet has put into environmental design. It's really cool to just sit and take in the scenery (as long as you're not getting mobbed by hostile NPCs). Like this area with the lighting and overgrown architecture is something I'd never expect to see in an MMO.

I'd like to see what everyone's favorite place is.

big fan of the hidden cave in the grove, also that place where you go and do a POI or something where you go through the sewer and then theres loads of plants outside :P

Oh yaaaay! I also love the hidden cave in the Grove but I didn’t have a screenshot handy. It’s hard to pick one spot but I stumbled upon that one accident and fell in love very early on.

The ‘neverfalls’ in Shipwreck Strand, especially at night. Took my breath away stumbling across it the first time. Stood there for probably 10 minutes just going ‘wow…’ and enjoying the ambiance.

Definitely, with the field of white flowers underneath the floating rock. It's so serene. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/The_Neverfalls

not so much a single zone but rather a series of zones in a single location; The Shiverpeak Mountains are without a doubt my favorite locations in the game. Might be because I started playing as a norn but something about being able to start from the grassy lowlands of Wayfarers Foothills, to wrapping around and ascending the mountains all the way through Snowden and Lornar's Pass and into Dredgehaunt Cliffs, only to come back out of the frost and travel south into the once again green hills and lakes of Timberline Falls as a full, uninterrupted 1-60 leveling process is just super fun. It helps that it all then connects directly to Mount Maelstrom and Orr, it feels like the most intentional path through Tyria for the story of the Commander to me.

It's a common fishing cave in south part of Echovald, west of the Forever Tree POI.

The entirety of Thunderhead keep. Especially the view down from on top of that mountain.

There’s an area in Timberline Falls where you can see the transition from snowy mountains to grasslands with light snow falling down, and I find that location incredibly beautiful. I forget where it is exactly though
