Bora Bora, French Polynesia



Iguazu Falls, Brazil-Argentina Border

There are many different large and popular waterfalls all around the world, but none offer as spectacular views as Iguazu Falls does.
Sat on the border between Brazil and Argentina, it is possible to get safely into Iguazu Falls that you can benefit from over 250 degrees worth of waterfalls surrounding you.  It may not be as big as some of the other waterfalls around the world, but Iguazu Falls is by far one of the most stunning.

Mount Everest, Nepal / China Border

As the largest mountain anywhere in the world, the Mount Everest mountain of the Himalaya range is included in this list primarily for its sheer size.
Located on the border of Nepal and China and standing at a massive 29,029 feet tall, a natural object that tall is nothing other than beautiful.

Great Pyramid of Giza and Sphinx, Egypt

As one of the most memorable and prominent Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Great Pyramid of Giza is one of three pyramids in the area, but is by far the oldest and largest – it is reputed to have been built approximately 2,500 years ago and currently stands at 455.22 feet tall.
Combined with the beautiful statue that is the Sphinx, the 241 foot long sculpture that is reputed to have been built in 2,500 years BC, they are two of the most recognisable monuments on earth.

Washington D.C., Columbia, USA

The capital of the United States of America is full of architectural delights and brimming with history that the area cannot be described as anything but beautiful, regardless of in what context and respect.
The White House is the most popular piece of architecture, but other notable mentions are the Capitol Building, Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument – a stunning obelisk that towers above Washington at just over 555 feet tall.

Taj Mahal, India

Whilst the Taj Mahal may be a mausoleum in the Muslim religion, there is no doubting that it is a spectacular building that can be admired from people from all religions.
Taking around 30 years to be built, construction was completed in 1653 and remains today as one of the most illustrious religious buildings anywhere in the world.

Grand Canyon, Colorado, USA

Stretching for 277 miles, the Grand Canyon is a gorge in Arizona which, at its widest point, is 18 miles wide.

There is a vast amount of things to see and do on Bali, such as climbing the volcanic Mount Agung, trying to spot one of the extremely rare Bali Starling birds or simply sitting back and enjoy life on this beautiful island.

Rome, Italy

Most would agree that any list entitled ‘Most Beautiful Places In The World’ would be incomplete without a mention of Italy’s capital city, Rome.
The sheer amount of wonderful architecture and general history of the city cement Rome’s place on the list, with the likes of the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain and the Piazza della Repubblica all being beautiful architectural delights.

Santorini, Greece

When you think of Greece, the first thing that so often comes to mind is beautiful white-washed stone houses with bright, electric blue roofs.  Although there are many places in Greece that offer these views, none does it better than Santorini.
On the several small islands that make up Santorini, the majority of them line their cliff edges with these buildings, which when coupled with the fantastic beaches that the area offers, make for a picture perfect postcard image.

Uluru, Australia

Known more commonly as Ayers Rock, Uluru is a sandstone rock that is 1,145 feet tall and has a circumference figure of almost 6 miles.  A World Heritage Site and part of the Uluru – Kata Tjuta National Park, Uluru is considered to be one of the most beautiful sites in Australia, largely because of its unusual rock formations and sacredness to the Aboriginal people of the surrounding area.

Teotihuacan, Mexico

Created in 200 B.C., Teotihuacan is said to have been a prominent area of the world for various tribes throughout several centuries and features an array of different buildings and points of interest, including large pyramids and beautifully coloured, painted and preserved murals.
Teotihuacan today remains as one of the largest archaeological sites in the word and is regularly seen as a great contender to replace – or join – any of the Seven Wonders Of The World.
