Vacations are meant to be a memorable part of your life. There are far too many marvelous places in the world that deserve a visit. Keeping in mind the culture, attractions, accommodation, and other features, it would be difficult to choose one destination out of them all. 

If you are confused about what destination to add in your vacation package, then this list is for you. With these few jaw-dropping, cool places to visit, you can well curate your vacation and fetch a lifetime of memories to remember. Right from ancient Rome to mystical Iceland, every city has its own story to tell. 

1. Colosseum, Italy- The Flavian Amphitheatre:

A must visit place included in every Italy vacation package, the great centuries-old Colosseum is considered to be the icon of Rome. The Colosseum was created to conduct games and contests to satiate the enthusiasm of kings and emperors. True to its name, the structure of this magnificent remnant of history is colossal, withstanding several damages over the years such as earthquakes and fires. It is as old as the city itself or perhaps older. Tourists can explore this old vintage structure on their own but with a guide, one will get to know more information behind this massive piece of history. 

2. The Maldives- The yet to be explored underwater world:

If you are a water sports lover or someone who loves to relax by the sea, the Maldives is the best option for you. Home to innumerable white sand beaches and even more resorts, a trip to the Maldives will be like no other. It would be hard to take your eyes away from the azure blue waters and the trees dominating around. A Maldives vacation package will have innumerable options of accommodation, each better than the previous one, that you will only be surprised at the number of spectacular resorts. Those interested in adventures have a dozen of activities to select from. The Maldives is considered to be the exotic place in the world for snorkeling, diving, surfing, and speed boating just to name a few. 

3. The Statue of Liberty, New York- Torch of the world:

France’s gift to America is now one of the top-notch destinations of the world. The Statue of Liberty is visited by millions of tourists every year. The statue is visible with a scenic view amid the unique New York cityscape from Manhattan. But a boat ride to Liberty Island will make it worthwhile. Tickets sell out pretty quickly so book yours as soon as possible before you go. Tourists are allowed to walk around the basement, enter the pier. Reservation will be a bonus: you can go right to the statue’s crown, and hola, the view of the cityscape will be unmatchable!

4. Edinburgh, Scotland- Athens of the North:

Needless to mention, every Scotland vacation package will have Edinburgh in it. What lies beyond the rough and craggy cliffs is the irresistible capital of Scotland. It is a city constantly buzzing around in fields of art, passion, philosophy, and science. A land of high culture and ideals, there is no limited number of events, exhibitions, opera, theatre, circus, and festivals conducted here. Lingering in the corridors of the Edinburgh Castle will take you back in time when this castle was very important in history. The National Museum of Scotland is also a major attraction here. A treasure trove of valuable information on archaeology, European history, art, science, philosophy, and fashion, the Victorian style of the building will allure you. 

5. Pyramids of Giza, Egypt- Land of the Nile:

Considered to be matchless achievements of Egypt, the Pyramids of Giza built for the Pharaohs and Kings still stands strong against the tests of time. Bring out the explorer side of you in this part of the world where everyone and everything you see will speak history. If you want to have a vacation or expedition here is up to you, but the pyramids will beguile you. Its austere structure and timeless fashion will be a once in a lifetime adventure. Apart from the pyramids, the desert will lead you to the powerful yet calm Nile River. There are various museums and ancient temples around to visit. Most of the vacation packages offer an open day tour to the Pyramids which is yet not enough to explore the secrets and history hidden behind them. 

6. Iceland- Land of glaciers and lagoons:

A dip in the Blue Lagoon or what will turn into a trek on the glacier topped mountains if you decide to go on a walk, there is no limit as to what the top of the planet located Iceland can offer. The ethereal Aurora Borealis, Northern Lights will be a celestial adventure not everyone will get the chance to witness. The geothermal lagoons will rejuvenate your mind and body with its lukewarm heat. The people of Iceland have made it their socializing spot, so it is the best way to know the locals here. Iceland is not just about glaciers and icebergs; Reykjavik is a place where you can shop for the best woolen sweaters and savor the delicacies of the cafes and bars. 

7. Santorini, Greece- Romantic sunsets and blue domes:

It is hard not to be awestruck when the view in front of your eyes is so pristine as Santorini. Surrounded by hills, preceded by turquoise waters, and with an active volcano before you, Santorini is the gallery of Greece. The white base and circular blue domes adorned in the cliffs seem to be melting like ice cream. It is a sight no photographer would miss. The sun disappearing in the horizon is a beautiful view, no doubt. But what is more beautiful is the quaint dusk sunlight falling on the white structures on the cliffs. Speaking of the food, grilled octopus, Greek salad topped with olive oil, wine is famous here. The distinct white-colored aubergine, what we today call an eggplant is plenty here. If offered by your vacation package, do visit Fira, Oia, and the Museum of Thera.
