There are several tourist destinations all over the world. But not all the tourist destinations are alike. Among the five best world tourist destinations you can find Taj Mahal in India, London in the United Kingdom, Pyramids in Egypt, Paris in France and Tulip Garden in Switzerland.

T aj Mahal is one of the greatest architectures in the whole world. This fantastic monument is situated at Agra; near the capital of India, Delhi. This monument is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, built by the great emperor Shahajehan as the graveyard of his beloved queen, Mumtaj. The capital city of England London is full of monuments and places, which are indeed a treat to watch and hence the city itself becomes the most entertaining tourist destination. London contains four World Heritage Sites: the Tower of London; Kew Gardens; Westminster Abbey and St Margaret's Church; and the historic settlement of Greenwich. Other famous landmarks include Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Piccadilly Circus, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square, numerous museums, galleries, libraries and up to 40 theatres. Egypt is attracting millions of history lovers from the whole world every year. Though there are several ancient monuments to be watched in Egypt, the most famous are the pyramids. Almost all the people go to Egypt to see their rustic beauty. Paris is known as the city of romance all over the world. The main attraction of Paris is the Eiffel Tower. Most of the people come to this city, just to see this tower alone. However, there are much more famous landmarks, such as the 12th-century cathedral Notre Dame de Paris, the Napoleonic Triumphal Arch or Louvre. Speaking about Switzerland one can’t but mention that this country is the favorite destination of many film directors and appears in movies most, due to its scenic beauty. Surely, you must have heard about the Tulip Garden of Switzerland where tourists spend days admiring its beauty!

T he first place among the world’s best hotels occupies Singita Grumeti Reserves in Tanzania, which is located on the migratory route of more than a million wildebeest, providing guests with incredible photo opportunities from their bedroom windows combined with five-star service and accommodations. Singita Sabi Sand (‘place of miracles’) in South Africa comes second. It is world-renowned for providing ‘the best safari experience in Africa’ and has won virtually every hotel and travel award since its inception in the mid-90s. Another world famous hotel is The Oberoi Udaivilas in India which is a traditional Indian palace with grand architecture. Its decorative domes, hand painted frescoes, intricate mirror work and beautifully crafted artifacts create an atmosphere of royal splendour. World-renowned and very spectacular are also Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi Hotel in Thailand which comes seventh in the top ten list as well as Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club in Kenya, which comes twelfth.

N umerous beach lovers come to world most famous coastal resorts every year. They offer beautiful scenery, hot sun, sea wonders and many water-sports for you such as swimming, snorkeling, windsurfing and scuba diving.

Everybody loves and knows Hawaii beaches which get busy in winter. The island of Bali is also a famous beach resort. Another popular tourist destination is Thailand in Southeast Asia. It has many world class tourist spots, among which is the Royal Cliff Beach Resort. It consists of four 5 star hotels connected by pathways. They have 1,090 rooms and 10 restaurants. In addition, there are 10 bars, swimming pools, health spas, meeting rooms and many others. Cancun, a coastal city in Mexico, is another world-renowned tourist resort with about 150 hotels consisting of more than 24,000 rooms and 380 restaurants. Unbelievable it may seem but 4 million tourists arrive each year in Cancun in an average of 190 flights daily.

As you can see, there are numerous places to go on this planet and even more things to do. Keep travelling and you’ll discover a lot in your lifetime!
