Travelling is the most enriching and fulfilling experience
in one’s lives. It is said that travelling fills your soul. A person, who sees
the world, gets closer and closer to oneself and tends to appreciate the world
in all its tainted glory.
1) Greece-Rich history, picturesque landscapes,
food and incessant events draw visitors to this magnificent country. Athens,
the capital of the country is a must see if one goes there. Places one shouldn’t
miss in Athens are: The Acropolis, The Parthenon, The Agora, National
Archeological Museum, Syntagma Square, The Plaka, Cape Souniou, The Temple of
Poseidon. Olympia, Rhode Island, Meteora are amongst the cities one shouldn’t miss.

with one of the richest histories. The capital, Beijing, is embellished with
historical marvels. The Great Wall of China, Temple of Heaven, Beijing Hutogs
are the not-to-miss spots in the city. Also the city of Xi'an sustains the
Ancient City Wall and the widely popular Muslim Food Street. In the city of Dunhuang,
Mingsha Sand Dune, Crescent Spring are must see spots.

of the world. The Pyramids of Ghiza, Abu simbel temples, Statue of Ramsses ,
the Great, the Sphinx, Karnak Temple, Temple of Haschtepsut are amongst the
most magnificent structures of the world. A cruise down the river Nile is also
a must to relish the country’s beauty.
4) Turkey- Undoubtedly, the very first place one
has to go to Istanbul because it was the capital-ruling centre of both the
Byzantine and Ottoman Empires and many of their former buildings still stand
today. The old part of the city that is the Sultanahmet district belonging to
the UNESCO World Heritage collection includes prominent landmarks and buildings
such as the former church, mosque, and now museum of the Hagia Sophia. As one
of Turkey’s most visited attractions receiving millions of visitors every year,
Ephesus should be on everyone’s bucket list when they come to the country. Sitting
in the central Anatolian region of Cappadocia, is one pf the most magnificent
sites too. The mass of ancient cave churches and monasteries containing 13th
and 14th-century original frescoes is hard to ignore, even if you are a
hardcore atheist. Also, the three ancient landmarks of Miletus, Priene and
Didyma, often marketed in travel brochures as one-day trips are remarkably
close to each other. Then, the Temple of Apollo sits in the current holiday
resort of Altinkum and as a former pagan worshipping Oracle structure. One
should also venture to the Ghost Village of Kayakoy situated near the bustling
city of Fethiye.
5) Germany- One of the countries with the most
brutal history, it is soul food for a traveller. The must-see spots in this
country for any traveller are: Berlin's Brandenburg Gate, Cologne Cathedral

of Neuschwanstein, Miniatur Wunderland and the Historic Port of Hamburg, The

Massif; these are a few spots amongst several other ones. This country also
offers several picturesque sights and landscapes to look out for.
6) India- A magnificent country with a huge
diversity of terrains, people and history. The history of this country is
almost unmatched by any other. Vanarasi, the city of Gods, is a city depicting
Hindu history. Delhi, Agra and Fatehpur
Sikri are amongst cities which show us architectural brilliance of the Mughal Empire.
Udaipur, Raigarh, Jaipur are cities which depict the Rajasthani history. Almost
any city in this country will have amazing historical spots, so it is a must
for any history lover to explore!
7) Vatican City- It is one of the most popular
theocracies of the world, as it stands to be a city-state of stringent orthodox
of Christians. Yet, it is also one of the best places for traveller’s spots to
look out for. St Peter’s Basilica, Sistine Chapel, Pinacoteca, Raphael’s rooms,
Appartamento Borgia, Etruscan Museum, Vatican
Library, Egyptian museum are the best spots in the country. The architectural brilliant,
the artist’s heaven, and a traveller’s paradise, it’s a must-see!
