We know travelling isn’t on the cards right now, but that doesn’t stop us dreaming…

From Bora Bora to the Isle of Skye, there are opportunities to catch the setting sun around the world. So, which locations come out on top? Whether you prefer to enjoy the sun’s rays from your balcony with a glass of wine, or with a crowd at an UNESCO World Heritage Site, we’ve compiled a list of the best places to watch around the globe. If these sunset spots have you itching to see them in person, take a look at our deals to make it happen...
