US News & World Report recently ranked the best countries for adventure, based on each country’s scores across four aspects： fun, friendliness, climate and scenery. Here are four of them.
Spain
With its sky-high scores in friendliness and fun，adventure in Spain is always as close as the nearest street. The most important thing for you is to identify what kind of adventure suits you best： if you love winter，head for Madrid，while warm-weather lovers are better off in beachfront Barcelona.
Thailand
Combining high scores in both scenery and fun, Thailand attracts a mix of people that make for an adventurous atmosphere. This can best be experienced on the island of Koh Phangaa. Visitors looking for more traditional exciting adventure should head to Chiang Mai to try whitewater rafting(漂流)，or attempt waterfall abseiling(沿绳索滑下）at Doi Inthaiion National Park.
Greece
High scores in scenery and climate make Greece a perfect destination for adventurers. The water for swimming here is the best of the best. Sailing and kayaking around the Cyclades are popular water sports while land-living visitors to the Islands have abundant hiking options. Host to the first Olympics, Athens has long held sporting events at the Panathenaic Stadium. Visitors are welcome to join the morning jog in the stadium from 7 ： 30 am to 9： 00 am as a warm-up for the day’s adventures.
Italy
While Italy might be best known for its food，art and architecture，the country has a more actively adventurous side, too. In Sicily, you can swim in the deepest blue sea and after a few hours be on the top of the highest active volcano in Europe. The ever-changing landscape (风景）also provides a chance for different types of adventures.
