Most Famous and Amazing Places In Continental

1.Asia
a. Tigers Nest Temple, Bhutan
Also known as Taktsang, it is a sacred monastery built on a rocky
cliff 3,000 feet above the Paro valley. Legend has it, some 1,300
years ago, Guru Rinpoche materialized on the back of a flying
tigress and converted the Bhutanese to Buddhism at this place. This
is a must-visit place because of the unique location and view that
will leave you mesmerized. The background story of this place
makes it even more unique and worth seeing.

b. Siem Reap, Cambodia

Siem Reap is the capital of the province Siem Reap in Cambodia.
One of their most famous sites to visit is the Angkor Wat temple.

2.Europe
a. Bucharest, Romania
Bucharest, the capital of Romania is a dynamic modern city with a
wildly sensational history. Nicknamed little Paris in the early
1900s Bucharest really plays the part with hip cafes, impressive
tree lined boulevards and dramatic modern and historic
architecture. Home to many attractions, the most remarkable
landmark in this vibrant city is the monstrous Parliament Palace.
Being equally enormous and ostentatious, it is a mind-blowing
architectural feat trumped only in size by the Pentagon.

b. Bratislava, Slovakia
The truly charming city of Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia. Its
tiny old town is packed with medieval grandeur, all over looked by
the cities majestic hilltop Castle. The narrow streets are lined with
restaurants and bars beckoning for you to eat, drink and appreciate
the culture.

3.Australia
a. The Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia
The Great Barrier Reef is the largest collection of coral reefs in the
world, spanning over 1,400 miles. Its so large that it can be seen
from space, and its among one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural
World. It is the place to go diving, offering a one-of-a-kind display of
underwater life.

b. The Sydney Opera House

While we suppose that "Sydney Harbour" in general could be listed
here, the Sydney Opera House stands apart from the rest of the
harbour's icons. Perhaps Australia's most famous man-made icon
worldwide, the Sydney Opera House is a unique feat of architectural
design and engineering that helps add tremendously to the
character of the already-scenic Sydney Harbour.

4.Afrika
a. The great migration, Tanzania
A photo won't capture the thunder of hooves on dirt as more
than a million wildebeest and several hundred thousand zebra
make their annual migration, but still, this is one for the top of
the pile. The migration is actually a year-round event as the
animals move from Tanzania's Ngorongoro Reserve in January, up
through the Serengeti around June and hit Kenya's Masai Mara
around September, before journeying south again.

b. Victoria Falls, Zambia and Zimbabwe

One of the worlds most majestic water spectacles, Victoria Falls
(also called Mosi-oa-Tunya, or "The Cloud That Thunders), were
reportedly first seen by a European when Scotsman David
Livingstone journeyed here in 1855. Since then thousands have
enjoyed the spray from the 108-meter high cascade, which was

once recorded flowing at 12,800 cubic meters per second double

that of Niagara's highest flow.

5.Antartica
a. Emperor Penguin
Your trip to see the Emperor Penguin in Antarctica is such an
unforgettable experience that you may even find it difficult to put in
words why you have to always carry your camera wherever you go.
See just how fluid they swim in the water and how funny they walk
on ice since your photographs can capture thses remarkable
moments.

b. Iceberg Calving of Antarctica

The moment you experience your first iceberg calving process, you
will be alarmed since it is so large it could easily sink and re-sink the
Titanic. This why ice breakers are so in demand since they break the
ice into smaller chunks which will float on the sea and melt on its
own. It will not cause any tsunami as portrayed in movies, but will
provide extra water to the ecosystem.

6.North Amerika

rugged expanse in a Jeep, Canyonlands is a true adventurers
paradise.

Standing at the edge is breathtaking enough, but you can actually

rappel down the walls to see the massive cave on the sinkhole floor.

7.South Amerika
a. Iguazu Falls, Argentina/Paraguay/Brazil
If youre heading for a fall, do it in style. Iguazu Falls is made up of
275 waterfalls to make up one of the biggest falls in the world, so
big that they straddle the border between three countries. The
biggest drop is a frightening 80 metres.

b. Praia Vermelha, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

With all those beach volleyball and Barry Manilow associations,
Copacabana takes the world fame while poor little Praia Vermelha
lies in its shadow. Take the cable car up to Sugar Loaf mountain for
this view, enjoyed by 007 during his tussle with Jaws in Moonraker.
