Whoa! How much time do you have? The world is filled with incredible wonders and tourist attractions wherever you look, from the Eiffel Tower in Paris and Machu Picchu in Peru to the great Pyramids of Giza and the Great Wall of China.

Well, it depends where you are! You might be surprised to discover that you needn’t travel too far to find something interesting about your own city or town – perhaps it's a museum or art gallery, a statue of significance, an amusement park or even natural tourist attractions such as the beach or rainforest.

A tourist attraction can be fun or thought-provoking, natural or built, a place with historical significance or it can be brand-new – when it comes to tourist attractions, the sky’s the limit!

A tourist attraction is a place of interest that draws people in like a magnet. The kind of place that people want to tell their friends and family about when they get back from holidays.

Italy regularly finds a spot at the top of travellers’ to-do lists with the Colosseum in Rome, widely regarded as one of the world’s most visited tourist attractions, followed closely by the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
