[Sacre Coeur Basilica Paris France] * DESPITE HOW LONG THE LINES MIGHT BE, NIAGARA FALLS IS A MUST-VISIT. * THE STATUE OF LIBERTY AND THE EIFFEL TOWER BOTH CAME FROM THE SAME MAN, AND BOTH LANDMARKS ARE MUST-SEES. * INDIA'S TAJ MAHAL IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT IN INDO-ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE. ------------------------- ACROPOLIS Sven Hansche/Shutterstock History and architecture buffs — particularly those with a penchant for ancient Greece — won't want to miss a trip to the Acropolis of Athens. Situated on a rocky hill above the city, the citadel complex contains an ensemble of significant classical structures, namely the Parthenon, which is regarded as the most important surviving monument from Greek Antiquity. Take a peek at these landmarks, including the Acropolis, zoomed out. NIAGARA FALLS lastdjedai/Shutterstock Niagara Falls is a must-see-before-you-die natural wonder. Sure, waiting in line, donning a bright blue poncho, and boarding a visitor-packed boat (aka the Maid of the Mist) is pretty much the definition of a touristy activity, but the chance to come so close to the gushing waters and powerful spray make it all worth it. Whether you're high energy or laid back, here's how to find the best vacation based on your personality type. TAJ MAHAL Shutterstock/Dmitry Strizhakov The Taj Mahal is a magnificent white marble mausoleum, located on the right bank of the Yamuna River in Agra, built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife. Renowned for its arches, domes, relief work, and precious stone inlay, it's considered the greatest achievement in Indo-Islamic architecture. On a budget? India is one of the best affordable travel destinations.
