How do yoy rank the worlds great landmarks?
Travelers around the world often wish to visit well-known landmarks as a way to document their time in a certain country or even as a sort of bragging rights to show off to friends and family when returning home. For example, anyone traveling to Egypt is likely to want photos in the shadow of the Great Pyramids or the Sphinx, rather than a busy modern picture of Cairo.
Likewise, visitors to London will want to see such world-renowned landmarks as Westminster Abbey and Big Ben. Visitors to Britain are also likely to want to visit the Tower of London and observe the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace.
In many ways, these visual landmarks help to define a country. In some cases, they are historic landmarks, like Stonehenge in the United Kingdom, or natural landmarks like Niagara Falls and the Grand Canyon in North America. In other cases, they are achievements from the country’s history, like the Coliseum of ancient Rome or the Parthenon in Greece.
