Tourism to-dos when visiting England as over 15 million other people do each year number five the Coliseum Italy no list of man-made Marvels would ever be justified without the Coliseum this ancient and storied Coliseum is perhaps one of Italy’s most celebrated places of interest and is well known by any
Seasoned traveler to this day despite its age it was and still is the Lar largest Amphitheater ever built just being in its presence is enough to give you visions of the incredible displays of gladiatorial sports and Feats of Strength hunting and glory in battle we might think such things are barbaric

Sleepless status you can’t deny the awe inspiring architecture that makes up not only Time Square but the city as a whole number three the Eiffel Tower France an estimated 7 million people make this the world’s most visited Monument with an entrance fee so it’s no surprise that
