Travelers can walk through the streets and appreciate the majestic view of the sunset on the horizon wherever they may be in the town, since most places offer a panoramic view of the water.

3. Zanzibar, Africa

The island is located just near the coast of Dar Es Salaam in Africa. There are plenty of tropical beaches around that offer a lovely view of the pink and orange sky as the hot African sun begins to descend. Many tourists rent a boat or go on a cruise to have a better view of the red sunset.

4. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
