5 Tourist Traps You Don't Want to Miss!

1. Great Wall of China
Why is it a must? "It's an astonishing testament to human ambition, ingenuity, and xenophobia, not to mention the fact that its size is astounding—it drapes the mountains in sections for 1,500 miles, from the Yellow Sea to its curiously abrupt conclusion in the middle of the far-west Gobi Desert."

2. Eiffel Tower

Why is it a must? "Yes, Paris' appeal goes well beyond classic images, but there's also something to be said for paying your respects to the most visited landmark on the planet—and the quintessential symbol of Paris."

3. Pisa
Why is it a must? "Because there is nothing else like it in the world. Go in knowing that you're there for the obligatory picture of you pushing or leaning on the tower."

4. Uluru (Ayers Rocks) in the Australian Outback

Why is it a must? "It's the world's largest monolith and one of Australia's most famous natural landmarks. If that's not enough, Archaeologist work suggests there were humans in this area over 20,000 years ago."

5. Venice
Why is it a must? "It's one of the most unique cities in the world, not only for its breathtaking architecture, but for its frailty. Visit now, while you still have the opportunity."
