10 Great Places to See Before You Die

Some of the World's most wondrous locations for an adventure or just a generally pleasurable experience.

1. The Grand Canyon

This colorful steep-sided gorge is a sight to behold. Carved out by the Colorado river in Arizona, it is 277 miles long and varies between 4 and 18 miles wide. Best seen by helicopter.

2. Golden Temple

This temple is the most important shrine of Sikhism and is beautiful to see. It is located in Amritsar in India.

3. Taj Mahal

This mausoleum, located in Agra India, is the finest example of Mughal Architecture.

4. Machu Picchu

Often referred to as the "Lost city of the Incas", this amazing Inca site sits 7970 feet above sea level in Peru. If you want to trek there you need to be fit! There are easier ways to see it though.

5. The Pyramids

These are amongst the largest structures ever built. They are the most famous symbol of Ancient Egyptian civilization.

6. Venice

Situated in the North of Italy, Venice consists of 117 small islands and is often known as the "City of Water". Take a Gondola and bathe in the romance of it all.

7. Great Wall of China

This amazing 4000 mile-long wall was built and rebuilt between the 5th century BC and the 16th century to protect the Northern borders of the Chinese empire.

8. Paris

The city of love and romance. If you haven't been, go now!

9. Rio De Janeiro

The second city of Brazil is set in a spectacular natural setting and is famed for its dancing and its carnival.

10. Salisbury

Ok, this city in Southern England won't feature on many lists, but I live there, and it is a wonderful place to visit! The Cathedral has the highest spire in England.

the temple complex of Angkor in Cambodia is a million times more impressive than Machu Picchu

also theres a canyon in south Peru many times larger than the "grand" canyon on USA

and the Salt Flats near Uyuni, Bolivia are worth a look

Copper Canyon in Mexico is much bigger the the grand canyon, and they have a train ride that goes around it. It's a great way to see its beauty. They also have a ride into the actual copper mines which are pretty fun and interesting.
