Liked Malacca in Malaysia, cool town to walk around with a vibrant market. Macchu Picchu was pretty impressive as well. Took the train there, none of this walking shit.
I just think that it is one of the most incredible landscapes on the planet, always find myself watching the nature docs on Yellowstone.
and the concept of it being a 'super-volcano' and if it erupts it could bring about a mass extinction just intrigues me, considering it is still active and scientists believe it is long overdue an eruption.
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial. It's extremely sobering to stand on the spot where an atomic bomb exploded.
Hiroshima is a surprisingly nice city for somewhere that was nothing but a flattened pile of burning rubble in living memory. Miyajima just across the bay is a world heritage site too that's worth a visit.
The Galapagos Islands are amazing, the remoteness, the unique wildlife.
In terms of cities, Venice takes a lot of beating
In the UK I visited Avebury recently, part of the "Stonehenge, Avebury and Associated Sites" grouping. Well worth a visit, it's much quieter than Stonehenge and you can approach the stones too
Hashima island - an abandoned island 9 miles from the city of Nagasaki. Commonly known as Gunkanjima ,meaning Battleship island, this was used in the James Bond Skyfall film.

Alhambra in Granada, out of season, until a few years ago when tourist numbers finally took away from the sense of peace and calm that filled the place.
Another vote for Yellowstone Park. Approaching from the NE, travel over the Beartooth Mountains and then drop into Yellowstone. Saw antelopes of all kinds, 100s of Bison and two wolfpacks. The geological marvels add to the beauty.

Yosemite would have to win as my favourite of the UNESCO National Parks

Impressive anyway, then when you consider its 2000 years old...

Maritime Greenwich

Antigua is a stunning place too, really enjoyed the cathedral ruins, quite spooky in there
Mountains, thick jungle and some of the best wildlife in the world.
