You would ask the first question if you want the person to pick one place, and you would ask the second if you want the person to pick more than one place.

Interesting question. The verb “to be” needs to be conjugated as either “is” or “are” depending on plurality.
If you’re asking for a single answer, you should ask “which of these places IS the most beautiful?”
If you want a few answers you should ask “which of these places ARE the most beautiful”

@elyato123 You would still use "is" if you want the person to pick just one, because "place" is the noun you're looking at.
