1. Great Wall of China
The wall is massive and winds its way through the mountains. This 8852 km long wall is one of the largest structures in the world, and tens of thousands died during its construction.
2. Metro in Moscow, Russia
You can travel between the stations (the finest ones are from 1930-1955) in Moscow just to look at the paintings, mosaics and chandeliers.
3. the salt mine in Wieliczka, Poland
It is only one per cent of the mine in Wieliczka and yet you can wander around for hours. There are amazing rooms, statues, paintings and even entire chapels carved out of salt.
4. The Eagle's Nest in Germany
This impressive building, given to Hitler as a 50th birthday present, stands 1800 metres above sea level near the Austrian border. The view from Eagle's Nest here is truly staggering!
5. Fallological Museum in Iceland
In the centre Reykjavik is this crazy museumwith a collection of over 200 penises from almost every land and sea mammal in Iceland, including humans.
6. The Temple of Karnak in Luxor, Egypt
For many centuries, the temple in Karnak the main religious centre of ancient Egypt. Here you can see temples and sphinxes from 1400 BC.
7. Lavra Cave Monastery in Kiev, Ukraine
Monastery of Lavra dates back to the 11th century and includes the underground caves where monks lived their entire lives in strict asceticism.
8. Venice, Italy
The whole Venice which is an attraction! Here you can take a vaporetto (bus boat) on the waterways, and visit sights such as the Rialto Bridge, St Mark's Square and the Doge's Palace.
9. The Forbidden City, China
In imperial times the whole area was in Beijing closed to ordinary people, and only the imperial family and court lived here. A total of 25 rulers governed China from here.
10. Skeleton Church in Kutna Hora, Czech Republic
This funeral chapel is decorated with the bones of about 40 000 people. The skeletons are a reminder of man's transience and spirituality.

Wow, so much you have experienced on your travels. I don't even know about all these sights. The Fallological Museum in Iceland, the Salt Mine in Wieliczka and the Lavra Cave Monastery were white spots on my map. So now I had to learn something new again.

Ditte says:
I recognise some of the sights here. But many are new to me...
In my opinion, the temple and the entire area of Angkor Wat in Cambodia and the Potala Temple and its surroundings in Tibet are exceptional.
Oh, there is so much to see and experience...

We have also visited several of the sites. The salt mine, certainly seems interesting.
We have visited a very small "skeleton church" in Rome, Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini.

Imagine how much you have experienced! I've been to some of these but I'm really looking forward to travelling to China.
And now we are going to Morocco together, I have seen. How fun it will be. Partly with Morocco of course but also to meet!

Steve, sometimes it's nice to highlight not only the most famous places, but maybe also some lesser known places that were worth seeing/visiting!
Camilla, of course it's fun to try, as long as you don't have to eat a whole giant portion of cobras... haha.
😉
BP, the skeleton church was a bit interesting to visit... but in a way it was a bit bizarre.
Ditte, I would love to visit Cambodia and Tibet!
JoY, the salt mine is definitely worth a visit, but avoid Saturdays in the summer (very crowded). Interesting that there are more "skeleton churches"!
Beccus, can only agree!
Hallin, yes great fun! Both travelling there and seeing you!
🙂

Interesting with your "10" lists! On this one I have visited the two Chinese places... As well as Venice a late night, at least I managed to see the water between two train stops on a train trip a while ago. You have a lot left you want to do, see and experience 🙂.

The Great Wall of China was powerful!
I would also put it at the top!

ActiveDays, there are always things left to experience and do... luckily!
Lennart, I haven't really thought about the order of the lists... though I can probably agree with the Great Wall of China at the top anyway!
