What about places of astronomical and chronological historical interest ?
In England for example this begins with stone circles, Greenwich, the Herschel museum in Bath, the RAS library is worth a visit, and so on. In Italy numerous museums with astronomical displays; one in Florence still has Galileo’s middle finger and an assortment of old scopes. In Paris the site of the original Paris observatory is still marked (in a park).
With regard to where to see a dark sky, the light-pollution maps are the key, colour-coded by Bortle scale. Not sure there are any locations better than Bortle 2 though.
