The world is filled with amazing places. One day we hope to visit them all. Until then, we can make great lists of all the places we would like to end up someday. Here is our current Top 5 list.
5. The Maya Ruins in the Yucatan Peninsula
This is located in southern Mexico, and was once the center of the Mayan Civilization. While many places in Mexico are considered extremely dangerous because of the ongoing drug-war, the Yucatan remains relatively safe. With beautiful local beaches, great cuisine, and affordable prices. This makes our Top 5 List.
4. The Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal, located in Agra, India, was built in the early 17th century. The area of India is called the "Golden Tourist Triangle" made up of the cities Agra, Delhi, and Jaipur. Tourists can find great local attractions, and cheap amenities. However, caution is advised because of current political unrest.
3. Stonehenge
No one really knows how long Stonehenge has been there, it just always has, at least as far back as our written history goes. Archaeologists say that Stonehenge may have been erected on a much older site. There are many theories of what could make this particular location desirable. One thing that everyone can agree on is, looking at Stonehenge gives you a sense of wonder and amazement. Stonehenge is located in England, so be prepared for moderately expensive lodging and travel.
2. The Forbidden City
The Forbidden City is located in Beijing, China. The Forbidden City acted as an Imperial Palace for almost 500 years. It now is currently a museum, and tourist attraction.

1. The Giza Pyramid Complex
Number 1 on our list is the Great Pyramids of Egypt. One of the greatest examples of early civilization, some areas of the pyramids have still been left unexplored.
