Come on, be original.
DUBAI should be on that LIST
I've been to.....lets see here........... 2 of these places. Haha. I'm going to Niagara Falls next spring with my school though but we can't go on the Canadian side. :(
Canadian Side of the falls is 1000x better then on state side, sorry man , you wont get the full experience if you arent on the canadian side .
I can't believe the Grand Canyon is number one, it blows.
What about Athens? The cradle of Western Civilization? What about London? Chicago?
Many better places exist.
its funny, i have travelled to most of these places and more, i would never say flordia. its beautiful, but not half as much as many other places.
I unno, I went to Niagara Falls for the first time today. and I think both sides are great. Sure the American side is a TINY less impressive. But it's still breathe taking to see:D
yay i live like 10 minutes from niagara falls... on the canadian side... good list
Mount everest base camp should be no. 1
I live in Florida. We are a terrible state. Don't visit us.
I'm moving out of here first chance I get.
Hong Kong- KUMITE! Just ask Frank Dux
I agree with Dickkles. This is a list of the top 25 most touristy places to visit. I saw nothing original here.
Why oh why oh why is Florida on this list?!?
Vegas!?!?!?! Please, no. Florida is kinda lame, too. Try Denali National Park in Alaska or New Zealand or Neuschwainstein in Germany.
What about cancun mexico????????????????????????
Nice places and great pictures. All these places are worth to visit.
wheres bermuda?
Poco conocimiento del Mundo, Sudamerica no se limita al Machupichu, donde dejan La Gran Sabana, El Salto Angel (la caida de agua mas grande del MUNDO), Roraima y esto esta en un solo pais sin contar con el Amazonas y etc etc etc....
How about the Moon! I know one guy thats been there.
what about Iceland? blue lagoon, glaciers and Geysir??
Why isn't Jersey South Shore on there?
Please dont add Istanbul or Antalya to the list. They are full of tourists right now!
This list is amazing. Fabulous photography. It really makes me want to go travel, but super glad I at least saw #25!
You can try Efesus in Turkey as well...as far as ancient ruins does it comes fairly high up on the list: Athens and Rome have ruins in the city, Efesus has ruins and you imagine the rest, definitely better than Florida, lol!
Dubai And Alaska Should Be On Here
maybe a top 100 would be much better. I live in Romania, try The Carpathians, breath taking, wild places. Or the Danube Delta. Romanian wine,too. :-) Cheers!
dude....this list is really lacking. maybe there should be separate lists for touristy sites, archaeological sites, cultural hubs, and geological/outdoor wonders. because this one seems to only include the touristy stuff.
yosemite? no.
FLORIDA? um...i like pensacola. but if you're from anywhere less lame than FLA, don't bother.
GRAND CANYON? NOOOOOO. it's a big hole in he ground. there is nothing cool about that. Trust me.
Okay....please add yellowstone nat'l park. Because if you're into those geological wonders then some of that stuff is the greatest. But not old faithful. that's basically just a really lame fountain.
GREEK ISLANDS AND GREECE...
NO USA.... N E V E R !!!!!!!
