Top 100 Greatest Places to Visit in the World
Completing a list of the world's greatest attractions is very debatable
because the world is so diverse. If the list-maker is more fond of
museums, and famed landmarks the list will be western focused. If the
list is focused on unique landmarks and places the list will be focus
more on the non-western world. In this list I tried to be balanced and
pick a wide variety of sites from all corners of the Earth.
