    Imagine an endless land of acacia and baobab trees, African grasses, giraffe,eland, zebra, wildebeest, lions, elephants, gazelles, buffalo and an incrediblevariety of birds. The Serengeti is everything when it comes to wildlife.

    TripAdvisor Member, Africa

    The vast plains of the Serengeti comprise 1.5 million hectares of savannah.The annual migration to permanent water holes of vast herds of herbivores, followedby their predators, is one of the most impressive natural events in the world.

    Visiting Vieux Qubec is like time travelling to a very relaxing place twohundred years ago. This is the most charming town in North America: A 400-year-old city with many interesting boutiques, great restaurants andcoffee shops, beautiful buildings and cobblestone streets.

    TripAdvisor Member, San Francisco, Calif.

    Quebec was founded by the French explorer Champlain in the early 17th century. It is the only North American city tohave preserved its ramparts, together with the numerous bastions, gates and defensive works that still surround OldQuebec. The Upper Town, built on the cliff, has remained the religious and administrative centre, with its churches,convents and other monuments like the Dauphine Redoubt, the Citadel and Chteau Frontenac. Together with the LowerTown and its ancient districts, it forms an urban ensemble that is one of the best examples of a forti ed colonial city.

    By far one of the most beautiful cities Ive ever visited. Truly spectacular. I feltas though Id walked through a time-warp. The integrity of the buildings andstreets from a by-gone era has been preserved with the utmost care. AntiguaGuatemala feels like a living museum.

    TripAdvisor Member, Denver, Colo.

    Antigua, the capital of the Captaincy-General of Guatemala, was founded in the early 16th century. Built 1,500meters above sea level, in an earthquake-prone region, it was largely destroyed by an earthquake in 1773 butits principal monuments are still preserved as ruins. In the space of under three centuries the city, which wasbuilt on a grid pattern inspired by the Italian Renaissance, acquired a number of superb monuments.

    A fairytale walled city of drawbridges, towersand cobbled streets. The largest medieval town inEurope with its city walls intact. Simply a must.

    TripAdvisor Member, Tenerife, Spain

    Since the pre-Roman period, a forti ed settlement has existed on the hill where Carcassonne now stands. In its present form,it is an outstanding example of a medieval forti ed town, with its massive defenses encircling the castle and the surroundingbuildings, its streets and its ne Gothic cathedral. Carcassonne is also of exceptional importance because of the lengthyrestoration campaign undertaken by Viollet-le-Duc, one of the founders of the modern science of conservation.

    Youll be staring at a 254-foot-high waterfall and the 16interconnected turquoise lakes. Youll hear choruses offrogs in the reeds and may spot some of the wildlife: birds,bears, butter ies and bats. You can cross one of the lakesvia boat, and its like sailing on glass.

    TripAdvisor Member, Brooklyn, N.Y.

    The waters owing over the limestone and chalk have, over thousands of years,deposited travertine barriers, creating natural dams that in turn have created a seriesof beautiful lakes, caves and waterfalls. These geological processes continue today.The forests in the park are home to bears, wolves and many rare bird species.

    It was great to go to a place that still seems sacred. It wasnt overcrowdedwith tourists or vendors. You could roam around the complex and reallycapture the spiritual feeling of the site.

    TripAdvisor Member, Houston, Texas

    The Mayan town of Uxmal, in Yucatan, was founded c. A.D. 700. It had some 25,000 inhabitants and is considered one ofthe high points of Mayan art and architecture. The layout of the buildings, which date from between 700 and 1000, reveals aknowledge of astronomy. The Pyramid of the Soothsayer, as the Spaniards called it, dominates the ceremonial centre, whichhas well-designed buildings decorated with a profusion of symbolic motifs and sculptures depicting Chaac, the god of rain.

    The magic of Petra is the total scale andintricateness of the area. Everyone knows thefamous treasury building, but thats just thestart of an epic journey through a

    jaw-dropping city of buildings andhuman feats of engineering.

    TripAdvisor Member, Birmingham, U.K.

    Inhabited since prehistoric times, this Nabataean caravan-city, situated between the Red Sea and the DeadSea, was an important crossroads between Arabia, Egypt and Syria-Phoenicia. Petra is half-built, half-carvedinto the rock and is surrounded by mountains riddled with passages and gorges. It is one of the worldsmost famous archaeological sites, where ancient Eastern traditions blend with Hellenistic architecture.

    It is such a joy just to gaze at the Opera House from different angles, atdifferent times of day (and night). It didnt disappoint from up close, either.Such a pleasure to run your hands over the concrete bricks and ceramic tiles.And the inside was stunning, too. Superb acoustics.

    TripAdvisor Member, Chennai, India

    Inaugurated in 1973, the Sydney Opera House is a great architectural work of the 20th century that brings togethermultiple strands of creativity and innovation in both architectural form and structural design. A great urbansculpture set in a remarkable waterscape, at the tip of a peninsula projecting into Sydney Harbour, the building hashad an enduring in uence on architecture. In 1957, when the project of the Sydney Opera House was awarded byan international jury to Danish architect Jrn Utzon, it marked a radically new approach to construction.

    Carved out by the Colorado River, the Grand Canyon (nearly 1,500 meters deep) is the mostspectacular gorge in the world. Located in the state of Arizona, it cuts across the Grand CanyonNational Park. Its horizontal strata retrace the geological history of the past two billion years. Thereare also prehistoric traces of human adaptation to a particularly harsh environment.
