Three Ultimate bucket-list Additions (2022)

Author: Evelyn Adam

Everyone has a bucket list of things they want to explore and try out for the very first time at least once in their life. What's yours? For me it's a list of places I'm looking forward to visiting in the next few years. Life is all about the experiences and there’s no better time to let loose than now. After all, going on a bucket list adventure is way more awesome than going on regular vacation. Check things off as you finish them and add new ones during your exploration. So here is a little inspiration to plan your sightseeing bucket list.

Catch a flight to Sydney

When we talk about destinations to visit in Australia, there’s only one city that comes to my mind in a matter of seconds and that is the capital of New South Wales, Sydney. Hailed as one of the most luxurious cities in the world, the city has tons of attractions to keep you busy for more than a month. This stunning city starts showing off its true beauty when the sun starts to fade away and you can experience this ideally onboard a Sydney Harbour Cruise Dinner which is a popular attraction in the city. Choose from top vessels including an authentic paddlewheeler, a premium glass boat, and a multi-million dollar catamaran and embark on a relaxing journey across the harbour, while indulging in sumptuous food and drinks. Get your cameras ready at all times as you will be cruising past the iconic Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Fort Denison and many other attractions. If you're more of a day person you can go for a Sydney Harbour Lunch Cruise and experience the city’s stylishness under the sun. Witnessing the legendary icons of the nation has never been easier!

Marvel at the Taj Mahal

Recognised as one of the wonders of the world, the Taj Mahal draws over millions of visitors each year from every corner of the planet. More than the actual physical structure, what catches the attention of most visitors is the epic story behind the construction of this monumental building! Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan erected the Taj Mahal in honour of his favourite wife Mumtaz Mahal who died during the birth of their fourteenth child. This historic building took over 20 years to build and is built with white marbles and semi-precious stones. People from all over the planet flock to get up and personal with this wonder and spend a day or two in the area, taking up all the history and stories of the Mughal era. If you ever plan a visit to India, this should be your first stop. It is recommended to visit first thing in the morning at sunrise when the crowds are less and the light glows against the white marbles!

Head to Grand Canyon

Just like Sydney, the Grand Canyon tops many bucket lists with its immense natural beauty. You may have already seen it in thousands of movies but no visual depiction can do this landscape any justice. You just have to soak up the innate beauty of the orange rock and the canyon’s immense size in real life. Touring the Grand Canyon can be done in many ways but the ideal way is by entering the Grand Canyon National Park’s South Rim, which is also one of the places to find the best hikes in the region. Once you step foot you will never let the camera rest, clicking gazillion photos of the brown hues of the canyons! Catch the sunrise or sunset from this unique landscape and you will stand witness to one of the most gorgeous spectacles in your life.
