10. Great Wall, China
Stretching almost 13,171 miles, more than ten million people visit the Great Wall of China every year. Building began in the 3rd century BC, and by the time it was finished in the 17th century AD it was the largest military structure in the world and had great architectural and historic importance.
9. Old City of Jerusalem, Israel
Boasting lofty 16th century walls, amazing sites like the Western Wall, unique markets, and quaint alleyways, it’s no surprise that this holy city is one of the most-visited World Heritage Sites. Packed with more than 200 historical monuments with tremendous religious significance, there’s nothing quite like the Old City of Jerusalem.
8. Pyramids of Giza, Egypt
The only lasting wonder of the ancient world, these unbelievable monuments were constructed back when Egypt was one of the world’s most powerful civilizations around 4,500 years ago. While the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx usually get the most attention, the whole monument complex contains three pyramids complexes, an industrial complex, cemeteries, and a workers’ village
7. Old Havana, Cuba
Once a main hub for ship-building, the extensive system of defensive fortifications in Old Havana are now some of the largest and oldest in the Americas. While there are many sights and sounds to enjoy, nothing beats the Neoclassical and Baroque architecture surrounding Old Havana’s unique plazas.
6. Machu Picchu, Peru
Rising up from a mountain forest to almost 8,000 feet above sea level is Machu Picchu, one of the Inca Empire’s greatest masterpieces. Machu Picchu is often the highlight of a visit to South America.
5. Petra, Jordan
Petra’s rock-cut architecture has contributed to its nickname, the Rose City, based on the color of the stone it was carved from. The intricate construction of temples and tombs along with the remains of churches and temples are only a couple of reasons why this world-famous site is a must-visit destination.
4. Easter Island, Chile
This remote Polynesian island is famed for its 887 surviving monumental statues. With shrines dating back to the 10th century, the landscape is unlike any other you’ll ever see.
