Niagara Falls, which draws the international border between Canada and the U.S., is a series of waterfalls on the Niagara River. It is split up into two sections, Horseshoe falls which lie on the Canadian side, and the American Falls, which lands on the American side. Be sure to take a glance at the beautiful and magnificent Niagara Falls in Canada or U.S. before you kick the bucket.

The Coliseum in Rome has seen some of the most spectacular battles in the history of the world. These fights comprised of trained gladiators, convicted criminals, prisoners of war, and wild beasts. The two main elements that make The Coliseum such a magnificent and attractive place to visit are its supreme size and historical background, which should be reason enough to take the trip.

Excellent choices!! But I’d change the Niagara Falls for the IguazĂș Falls (Brazil/Argentina), the whole national park area is spectacular, tropical, more exuberant and the waterfalls are more extensive…
Cheers!!

All great choices, I’ve seen all except Pisa.
Although Giza is fantastic, I thought it was a great shame how Cairo has almost swallowed it up, it is literally at the end of a dual carriageway. However, our day was completed when we turned down a camel ride and the owner of the camel jumped onto the bonnet of our cab and hung on for about 100 yards…hilarious
