10 Places to visit around the world



Everybody loves to travel! Here are my top ten places you should visit around the world.

1.     Machu Picchu

 

Now one of the Seven Wonders of the World Machu Picchu is an amazing site to see. A 15th century Inca site located just less than 2500 meters above sea level in Peru.  It has stunning views but is nearly inaccessible with a long journey time to reach it but I promise you it will be worth the effort! Machu Picchu has a sense of mystery about it and is commonly referred to "Lost City of the Incas".

 

2.     The Golden Gate Bridge

 

Spanning 8,981 ft across the opening of San Francisco bay the Golden Gate Bridge is a marvellous sight. possibly the most photographed bridge in the world. Before the bridge was built the only way across the bay was by boat.

 

3.     The Pyramids 

 

Built as tombs for the country’s royalty out of stone and by hand. There are currently 138 pyramids in Egypt but the most famous of them all are the pyramids of Giza. Amazingly these pyramids are near perfectly built without any modern tools as they were not invented back then.  Definitely worth a visit if you want your mind blown!

 

4.     The Amazon Rainforest

 

A huge space or wonder is the only way i can describe this place. Most people just think trees and rain but there is so much more to this place. It has a ton of wildlife, plants (which have helped with medicine and treatments) and provides 20% of the worlds oxygen supply.

 

5.     The Great Wall of China

 

Roughly built from east to west the purpose of this wall was to defend the Chinese empire. It’s an amazing walk and the location and scenery is just as great as the wall. It looks like it never ends!

 

6.     Eiffel Tower

 

Located in Paris, France the tower stands tall at 325 meters and is the tallest structure in Paris. At the top it has spectacular views and you can see for miles. For a small charge you can also climb to the top... don’t look down though!

 

7.     Buckingham Palace

 

Home of the queen! This beautiful building located in the City of Westminster stand proud. With it’s guards on the outside with no sign of emotion with a duty to protect the queen. One of the top attractions in the UK.

 

8.     Leaning Tower of Pisa

 

The free standing bell tower of the cathedral. The lean on this thing is amazing. How it doesn’t just fall and topple over is outstanding but it wasn’t meant to be this way. The lean is due to poor construction.

 

9.     The Ghan Railway

 

Amazing experience as you cross the country of Australia from north to south over 3 day. You travel in class and have a luxury experience. The train runs right through the middle of Australia so you get to see something of a rare sight.

 

10.     The Statue of Liberty

 

Celebrating Americas independence and freedom. This statue is a man made marvel that is bound to make you get your camera out! This was a gift to the United States from the people of france. The statue shows freedom and is an icon of the united states.

There is more to see in this world then the ten i have listed. Why not do some research and see what you find? You never know you might just find your next break away!
