There are so many places in my country that I have not visited that I thought I would start with where I live:
Beaches
I live in a part of the UK, that has some of the most beautiful beaches, where Shakespear in Love was filmed. The sand stretches for miles (does not sound the same if you say kilometers!) and parts of the coast are deserted. The access if difficult and people dont visit.
Forest
There is a beautiful forest where we can walk, ride our bikes, or just look at the wildlife, unusual birds, deer if you are lucky. In the middle of this forest is a stone age flint mine. Flint was mined to make stone age tools. It was used for building, a skilled job called flint napping, to make the correct shape to build with.
Houses
We have one of the Queen houses close by, many people visit it. It has beautiful grounds and forest too. It is a place for peace and relaxation. The house is open to the public unless the Queen is living there.
My town
My town is a town of two halves - one half being historic, Vancouver set sail from our harbour with Captain Cook, and he discovered Vancouver Canada. Because my town is a port, there is a fishing industry and it is a trade port. the other half is modern with all the problems associated with it.
I always say you should walk around your town as if you were a tourist and you will see things you never knew about! Go to you tourist information centre, you will most probably get a surprise.

I have been to Shanghai, but only for two days, to visit a factory! All I saw was traffic jams, pollution, tall buildings and a lot of people  I am sure it has a lot more to offer but it is not on my list of places to see.

The Wash! London is not close to the coast, not really, Norwich neither, not as close as me anyway. Norwich is in the capital of the county of Norfolk. Today I was behind numerous caravans making their way to our coast because it is Bank Holiday and guess it will rain!

In Poland:
The Mazurian Lake District
For those who like yachting, kayaking, coanoeing, windsurfing or just camping in wild forests by lakes.
The Baltic Sea Coast
Sunbathing and doing water sports in the summer, walks in all other seasons.
The Tatra Mountains
For those who like mountains. Skiing in winter, lovely walks in all other seasons
Gory Stolowe
Mountains again, this time not as high as the Tatra mountains
Krakow
A former capital of Poland, historically number one to see
and many many more

Now I'm not patriotic in particular so instead I would like to suggest Lake Como in Italy. It's one of the most beautiful locations on earth and if you get tired of the idyllic setting there's not far to Milan.

Me too, being a big fan of all things Italian, but I must say that I prefered Lake Garda and a little place called Malcesine (Only because my son lived there for two years!) It is at the foot of Monte Baldo. But it is beautiful and on the other side of the lake, Limone where they live to a ripe old age!

I can only imagine how beautiful those places must be. Unfortunately, I haven't seen them

If I were to advertise foreign locations, I'd recommend Norway.

See the Troll's Ladder - the curviest road ever and sail down The Geiranger Fiord. Plus numerous waterfalls and wilderness that will leave unforgettable memories. Of course, after two weeks of nature-only you'll be screaming for contact with people. Then just cross the border and visit Sweden 
And one more, Ireland is a beautiful country as well. Looks pretty much like what Magnadea posted. Great coastline and stunning views. Even if you're living in the centre of the island, like I do, it's just about 2 hours to get to the ocean or the sea. Or...to The Giant's Causeway
