As the quote by John Bradshaw tells us, Human Beings Are Creatures Of Habit. This applies to multiple fields of life. For example, you will most likely choose the same dish from your favorite restaurant every time you visit. However, this also applies to other fields of your life. For example, most people have a favorite vacation destination that they visit on a yearly basis. However, traveling should be about exploring the world while enjoying yourself! Destinations are important, but there are many, which makes it difficult to choose the “right one.” This is why we’re helping you today with the top 10 bucket list destinations you can’t miss! Keep reading to discover them, and maybe you’ll book your next adventure after reading this blog!
Check out these 10 Bucketlist Destinations
Not every vacation has the same intentions. Some people like to chill next to the pool with a nice cold beer in their hand, while others like to get adrenaline flowing through their bodies with some extreme sports. These 10 destinations are a mix of different vacations, so we’re sure you’ll find something you’re into!
The Great Wall Of China
The Great Wall Of China is one of the 7 world Wonders, and you’ll have to visit it to really understand why. The wall stretches over 13,000 miles and has an average height of 7.8 meters tall. It would take an average person more than 4000 hours of nonstop walking at an average walking pace. This means you would have to walk 24 hours per day for over 166 days to go from one end to the other.
In addition to the magnitude of the wall, it also offers a lot of history, and visiting it will allow you to get to know a completely different culture, making it one of the highest-rated bucket list destinations of all time!
The Serengeti, Tanzania
Are you a fan of animals, but do you want to meet some of the coolest wildlife? Then visiting Serengeti National Park in Tanzania is one of the best ways to immerse yourself in their world. The national park is home to over 4000 lions, more than 1000 leopards, elephants, giraffes, and many more!
Machu Picchu, Peru
Machu Picchu is another Wonder of the World and is an absolute must-visit bucket list destination for history nerds. The city, which is often called the Lost City of the Incas, is built on the ridge of a mountain range at 2.430 meters above sea level. If you wish to visit this Wonder, we recommend investing in good quality hiking shoes, as you’ll have to climb for nearly 3 hours to get to the citadel!
Bora Bora, French Polynesia — A bucket list destination to relax!
Does lying next to a private pool with some direct access to the most blue-looking water sea you’ve ever seen sound like a dream? Then, you must add Bora Bora to your bucket list. This island is home to one of the most iconic travel resorts, with bungalows built over turquoise blue waters and epic white beaches. The perfect destination to visit if you deserve some time to relax. However, you will have to open up your wallet, as the prices for a night in the unique resorts range between 1100 and 8000 dollars!
The Taj Mahal, India
By now, you might think that we’re just telling you to visit the world’s seven wonders. However, this is not the case! We’re only recommending some of the most impressive destinations that will add cool pictures to your social media and enrich your cultural knowledge of the world. This is also why we’re recommending visiting the Taj Mahal in India! It was built in 1632 and is still one of the most impressive structures in the world. This is why it also gained the status of being one of the Wonders of the World!
The Grand Canyon, USA
If you have ever wanted to see what mother nature is capable of, then the Grand Canyons in the USA are a must-visit destination. With multiple tours going to the giant, naturally formed canyons, you will be able to realize how small humans actually are! These canyons were made by the Colorado River when it was at its largest thousands of years ago! We highly recommend the Grand Canyon Skywalk, a glass bridge that takes you over the edge of the canyon and allows you to look 300m straight down to the bottom of the canyon!
Venice, Italy
If you’re into enjoying a nice dinner with some of the best wine in the world but also want to explore one of the coolest places in the world, Venice, Italy, is the perfect destination for you! This Italian City is one of the most romantic places in Italy to visit, so if you have a partner, you’ll only get more brownie points. However, we recommend that you take comfortable shoes, as most of the exploration must be done on foot. No cars are allowed in the city, so you’ll have to take a combination of gondolas and little hikes to discover the city.
The Pyramids of Giza, Egypt
We promise that this is the last time you’ll hear us talk about the Wonders of the Worlds, but the Pyramids of Gyza have to be included in this list of bucket list destinations! While it might look like a “simple” construction of blocks in the shape of a pyramid, it is one of the most impressive structures in the world. Scientists are still not completely sure how they were able to make it with the tools they used to have. These Pyramids are so mathematically “correct” and use techniques and precision that weren’t available until the past few centuries!
Santorini, Greece
Are you looking for cool Instagram photo opportunities? Or are you looking for a new hot girlfriend? Then Santorini, Greece, is the place to go. With the iconic white and blue buildings for your photo opportunities, nice food, and sexy people, this is one of the most recommended bucket list destinations to go to.
The Aurora Borealis — a bucket list experience for space lovers!
Are you a fan of cold weather, nice nature walks, and natural phenomena? Then, the Aurora Borealis, Aka the Northern Light, is a must-see for you. There are multiple magical places where you have a chance to see the light, such as Canada, Iceland, and Norway. However, since no one can influence when these lights are visible, we recommend booking your trip during a time in which it is more likely that they appear! This rare phenomenon and the beautiful locations make it one of the coolest, quite literally, experiences of these bucket list destinations.
If you want to add multiple destinations to one trip, going on a cruise might be the best way to explore the world for you! Are you adding any of these destinations to your bucket list as well? Let us know in the comments which ones you’d really want to visit or if you have visited any already!
