1. Raja Ampat
Raja Ampat is an archipelago located off West Papua. The area has been declared one of the world’s top 10 dive sites by National Geographic Magazine. There are over 1,000 coral reefs within this region alone, making it one of the best diving spots on Earth.
2. Tokyo
Tokyo is one of my favorite cities on Earth, and it was also named one of the best places to travel in2017 by TripAdvisor readers. You’ll nd plenty of things to do at night such as going clubbing or having drinks with friends around town. But during the day, don’t miss exploring the Imperial Palace East Gardens & South Park.
3. Plitvice Lakes
The name itself makes us smile from ear to ear! These lakes are blessed with emerald green water and fantastic limestone cliffs. Several trails lead up to different parts of these natural beauties — some even go into the lake where you can swim or kayak across. You could also do one of those famous ‘waterfalls’ where you walk through a series of pools and falls before reaching the river below.
4. The Alhambra in Spain
One of the top tourist attractions in Europe, the Alhambra Palace complex in Granada, Spain, was initially built by the Moorish rulers between 1238 and 1492. With its impressive buildings, luxurious palaces, and gardens now open to visitors, this stunning site offers some of the best views across Granada.
5. Great Barrier Reef
This massive structure stretches over three hundred miles and lies off the coast of Queensland–Australia. A trip out here can only do good things for visitors, but it also means they need to book well ahead. Great Barrier Reef is the most extensive coral reef system globally, located just off the coast of Queensland, Australia. Unfortunately, the reef is rapidly disappearing due to climate change, pollution, and chemicals in certain sunscreens.
6. The Ring Road in Iceland
If you’re looking for some severe nature immersion or want to see how other cultures live within their borders, head over to Iceland, where this stunning road was built around Lake Thingvallavatn.
7. Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu is truly one of the most incredible travel experiences I can imagine. Located high in the Andean mountains near Cusco, Peru, it is often called the “Lost City Of Incas,” but it never felt like lost to me.
8. Las Vegas
Las Vegas may not be Europe, but it does offer some incredible sights such as bright neon lights, fantastic shows, delicious food at reasonable prices…
9. Mount Everest Base Camp Trekking
Mount Everest base camp trekking takes you through the high passes where the elevation changes dramatically. You’ll get stunning views of Mt. Kailash, Mt.
10. Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan has a lot going for it: warm hospitality, delicious food, friendly locals, stunning landscapes — but above all else, its people make it one of the top tourist attractions worldwide. The country’s rich culture and history come together so beautifully here that it does feel like visiting another land entirely.
And if you’re looking for an adventure-filled vacation full of offbeat activities, then look no further than Uzbekistan.
11. Oman
Oman may seem like another desert state, but don’t let that fool you because nothing could be further from the truth. This tiny yet powerful nation offers up more culture than many much larger countries combined. Indeed, Muscat itself isn’t exactly brimming over with sights. However, thanks to modern transportation advancements, you can hop into a bus or taxi almost anywhere and explore the surrounding area without too much hassle.
12. Jordan
Jordan may seem like just another Arab country, but don’t let that fool you because beneath its surface lies a hidden gem. With landscapes ranging from red sandstone cliffs to vast salt lakes, Jordan offers plenty of adventure opportunities for beginners and experts alike. From skiing to rafting, mountain biking to horse riding, shing to birdwatching, and much more.
13. Visit Paris
You may not know precisely why you need to visit Paris, but you know you need to see it. Now is a perfect time because tickets are cheaper when booked online if you haven’t been before. Paris, with its romanticism, history, art, food, fashion, architecture, and nightlife, Paris has been drawing visitors since ancient times.
14. The Scaffold of King’s Landing
Aegon Targaryen built this massive structure as part of his plan to build an impregnable castle on top of Dragonstone. It served its purpose well until Robert Baratheon took over and used it to execute prisoners.
15. Blue Lagoon
Head to the Blue Lagoon spa resort if you’re looking for somewhere relaxing after visiting the south coast. Located around 80 km north of Reykjavik, the lagoon had been attracting visitors since its opening back in 1937.
