Wonders of the world
I will be visiting the colosseum today and to my suprise it is in fact one of the "7 wonders of the world".
The Taj Mahal is not within the list. I thought that was one of them. Guessed the others correctly.
You can name your favourite place. It does not necessarily have to be outside of the UK or anywhere even exotic but It is to be assumed that an answer like that maybe a sarcastic one.

The Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall.
You probably have to love gardens though.4 -
It's just down the road from The Eden Project but it's sooo much better0

I'm off to Iceland on a Disney cruise later this month. We're visiting the Blue Lagoon which was on a list of 10 must see places I saw. I don't know if it counts as a wonder, but I have heard it is even more blue than the famous Blue Stone of Galveston.3

Iceland is a very desirable holiday destination I would like to go at some point.0 -

Iceland is stunning. I would say the waterfalls, such as Gullfoss, trump the blue lagoon. Beautiful country, enjoy!ken_shabby said:I'm off to Iceland on a Disney cruise later this month.

For what it is worth Machu Picchu is wonderful, especially after a hike over the Andes. I have always wanted to travel the silk road in general and go to Samarakand in particular.4 -

Especially if you're into photography. I haven't been there (yet) but the photos I've seen are all spectacular.Dave2l said:

Point of order Mr Speaker.North Lower Neil said:

You can see the beautiful train from the road.
And you drive like a mile down the road and say to yourself 'I've got to stop now this is so heartbreakingly beautiful', then you drive on another mile or two and stop again saying to yourself 'why did I stop back there, this is more heartbreakingly beautiful?' Rinse and repeat about twenty times along the journey.
On the train you can't ask the driver to stop the thing over and over again.
Anyway I cited Charing Cross Station, isn't that good enough?

My favourite place on earth is Prestbury Park in the shadow of Cleeve Hill in the middle of March!
That apart, The Colosseum is immense, and gazing up at Mount Kilimanjaro, under African skies is pretty special also.2 -

Anyone ever visited Lydford Gorge, especially on a beautiful morning like this?1

Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania1

I have never visited there, but a friend once went on about a place called crater lake in the USA.
Perhaps the rule for this thread should distinguish natural wonders from those that have been shaped by mankind.1 -
The Galapagos Islands
As a zoologist I can't think of many places I would rather go to see the wonders of the animal kindgom. I have been to Borneo (highly recommend) and many other places, but here, Madagascar and Ascension Island have to be top of my list.4 -
I find threads like this both fascinating and depressing - my holiday this year was Bognor!6

That truly takes the breath away. Awe inspiring.moutuakilla said:
