Santorini, Greece - also known as Thera, is a volcanic island in the Aegean Sea. These colorful buildings and beautiful ocean views attract tourists from around the world.

9.
The Pyramids of Giza
10.
The Pyramids, Steps Away From Urban Giza

Farmers have worked the land right up to the edge of the ancient landmark, and there's even a tourism parking lot nearby. Something about that just takes away a bit of the magic
13.
The Arc De Triomphe, France
14.
The Arc de Triomphe is situated as a sort of centerpiece to Paris.
15.

Central Park & Surrounding New York City
19.
Brandenburg Gate, Germany
20.

25.
The Little Mermaid Statue, Copenhagen, Denmark
26.
