They have to be seen to be believed. With that said, let’s a take a look at some of the most famous landmarks you should look to visit.

Whether you are religious or not, the statue of Christ The Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil should certainly be on your bucket list. The monument boasts a combination of artistic creativity and ingenious engineering. Standing at the top of Mount Corcovado, the 38-meter tall statue appears over the city with the arms stretched out in benediction. It isn’t, however, until you get up and close with it that you realize just how big the statue is. One of the best times to visit is probably when the carnival is in full swing. While it will be very busy, it will also be packed with fun-loving people, and you will get to enjoy the world’s biggest party which boasts an experience you don’t want to miss.

Regardless of whether or not you love mythology, anyone can appreciate the monuments that are the Pyramids and Sphinx of Giza in Egypt. They have a timeless aura to them that defies explanation. Given the nature of Egypt’s hot weather, your best bet to visit these landmarks is when the temperature is a bit cooler. So, by booking your vacation for any time between November and March, you will be safe from the heat.

Do you remember the days when you imagined yourself as a gladiator in ancient Rome? Maybe you fancied watching epic films featuring these Roman gladiators who went to war in the famous Colosseum. Regardless of your reason, you will be amazed by the overwhelming size of this amphitheater in Rome, Italy. It is obvious that the ancient Romans took their fun and games seriously as the Colosseum is large enough to host an audience of about 80,000 which is on par with most modern Olympic stadiums. Because the Colosseum is one of Europe’s most visited attractions, anytime you go during the day, it is sure to be busy. A great way to beat the crowds is by visiting at night when the structure looks even more impressive illuminated.
