Wonders of the World

 


Venice, Italy

There's nowhere in the world quite like Venice. This dreamy historic city – built on over 100 islands across a lagoon – has captivated travelers for centuries. With its picturesque waterways, ornate architecture, cobbled alleys, elegant piazzas and elaborate bridges, the city is an enchanting paradise. Venice is stuffed with architectural wonders including the Doge's Palace, St Mark's Square, and countless exquisite churches and palaces. Each one is bursting with priceless artistic gems and helps the city retain its Venetian culture and strong traditions.

Wonders of The World

 

The Acropolis, Athens, Greece

It's almost impossible for people to take their eyes off the rocky outcrop that looms above the sprawl of Athens and has dominated the city for millennia. The arresting ancient mound has several incredible classical ruins, but the Parthenon on its highest reaches is its most iconic structure. A symbol of the origins of democracy, the classic temple was built in the 5th century BC and dedicated to the goddess Athena.

Wonders of the World

 


Machu Picchu, Cusco, Peru

Most people who normally ascend to the ancient Inca city on a remote mountain ridge in the Sacred Valley are in awe of the spectacular sight. The most significant archaeological site in South America, it's thought the emperor Pachacutec built the soaring citadel in the clouds in the 15th century, although its mysteries abound. Despite its huge popularity with tourists, Machu Picchu continues to be one of the world's most mesmerizing places.

Wonders of the World

 

Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia

Located off the coast of Queensland in northeast Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is the largest living structure on the planet. It is composed of over 2,900 individual reef and covers roughly 135,000 square miles (350,000sq km), making it bigger than the UK, Holland and Switzerland combined. It's so enormous, in fact, that it can be seen from outer space. Despite environmental threats, it's teeming with marine creatures – around 10% of the world's total fish species can be found within the ancient reef alongside whales, dolphins, porpoises and dugongs.

Wonders of the World

 


The Pyramids of Giza, Cairo, Egypt

Egypt is arguably the world's richest treasure trove of ancient monuments. The constructions that awe and intrigue us the most are the mighty pyramids of Giza. These monumental tombs are the only wonder of the ancient world that have survived the test of time. Built between 2580-2560 BC under the orders of Pharaoh Khufu, the Great Pyramid is 481-foot-high (147m) and was the world’s tallest manmade structure until St Paul's was built more than 35 centuries later. Rising out of the desert, the pyramid's sheer scale and feat of engineering is overwhelming.
