12 Sight-See's of the World

During quarantine, we had restrictions and specific guidelines to follow. We have to wear our masks or stay six feet away from other people, but now that everything is slowly but surely opening back up, places are becoming a little less lenient on these guidelines. Airports are back to their normal selves which means more traveling is allowed. Now, what is one of the sight-sees you have on your bucket list that you would like to visit. If you have no idea, here are some examples of our world’s beauties:

1. Eiffel Tower - Paris:

The Eiffel Tower is the symbol of Paris and one of the most photographed places in the world. It is a must for all and any travelers, wondering where to go next. This is a city where history and culture collide, where all travelers can find the experience they’re after.

2. The Colosseum - Rome:

It is the most famous and largest structure still standing from the Roman Empire. It has been a bucket-list destination of travelers for generations in which it does not disappoint. You can wander through Rome's ancient streets, tour the colosseum, and if time allows, plan a trip to other areas of Italy.

3. Statue of Liberty - New York:

America is full of great sights and places to visit, but it's the Statue of Liberty that represents the United States like no other place. This symbol of freedom in New York City was gifted by the French to the American people in 1896. Of all the attractions in New York City, this one is a must see.

4. The Taj Mahal - India:

If you ever end up in India, The Taj Mahal is the one sight that all travelers need to see. The country is filled with incredible cities and fabulous places to visit, but the 17th-century Taj Mahal is the one to visit. This mausoleum, commissioned by the Shah Jahan for his wife, Mumtaz Mahal, is known internationally as a symbol of love. Its riverfront setting, surrounding gardens, and reflecting pools are also what make the Taj Mahal so special.

5. Pyramids of Giza - Egypt:

The Pyramids of Giza take ancient to a whole other level. These were built over 4,500 years ago. Tourists were coming to see these magnificent structures literally thousands of years ago. Located just outside Cairo, the pyramids, which is also where you'll find the Sphinx, are easy to get to, and tours are easy to arrange.

6. Great wall of China - China:

The Great Wall of China, built between the 14th and 17th centuries, is a striking image that all visitors to China should see. A walk along the top of the wall provides an incredible view of the structure snaking off into the distance.

7. Stonehenge - England:

Stonehenge is a place that makes you wonder what went on here over 4,500 years ago. It's long been a mystery to historians, and has captured the imagination of countless visitors while the place still has a mystical feel. At the site, giant stones, some standing, some fallen, are set in two roughly circular patterns that are oriented to highlight the summer and winter solstices.

8. Niagara Falls - Canada/USA:

On the border between the United States and Canada, these giant falls have been drawing explorers and travelers for centuries. Just a little over an hour from the city of Toronto, Niagara Falls is easy to get to, and the town is a fun place to spend nights at. If you're feeling adventurous, walk up to the edge of the falls, stroll along the paved walk lining the gorge for different views, or take a boat tour for a close-up look at the water pouring over the lip of the gorge above you. For a breathtaking view, head up the Skylon Tower to look out over the falls, or at night, see the falls lit in different colors.

9. Sydney Opera House - Australia:

Like many other attractions around the world, the Sydney Opera House is one of those places that is easy to identify and obviously associated with Australia. It was built in several stages and officially opened in late 1973. Touring the inside of the house is a great choice as well or soak up the view from the Opera House area back towards the world-famous Sydney Harbor Bridge.

10. Prague Castle -Czech Republic:

Prague Castle sits on top of a hill across the river from the center of the city. The castle is an amazing collection of buildings constructed from the 9th to 14th century. For more views and sight-sees, take a walk over the 14th-century Charles Bridge across the Vltava River and head up the hill to explore the narrow, twisty streets in the castle complex. The castle is one of the largest in the world, and around almost every corner is a historical building, church, or open square.

11. Chichen Itza - Mexico:

The ancient Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza have been attracting curious tourists since they were first brought to light.

The Pyramid of Kukulkán is 30-meter-high and has been restored to its full glory along with many of the other significant buildings, including the Great Ball Court, the Temple of the Warriors, and the eerie Skull Platform. Chichen Itza is located about 200 kilometers from Cancun and is easily accomplished in a day trip from Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and other areas of the Mayan Riviera.

The harbor of Rio de Janeiro is also one of the 7 natural wonders of the world.
