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.
4. The Great Pyramid of Giza

No lifetime would be complete without a visit to The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of three main pyramids. This engineering marvel is the only remaining “Seven Wonders of the World”. It has amazed millions of visitors for centuries.

Located in Arizona, Grand Canyon National Park is one of the most visited national parks in the United States. It receives a crowded 5 million visitors per year. When visiting, anticipate large crowds during the spring, summer and fall. Besides allowing the most spectacular sights in the history of the world, this National Park includes a variety of fun activities for people of all ages. These outdoor activities include camping, mule rides, day hiking and fishing trips as well as guided bus and air tours.

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.

Before you croak, it is highly recommended to trek the up the 294 spiral steps that take you to the top of one of the world’s most fascinating structures. This mesmerizing structure, located in Italy is called The Leaning Tower of Pisa. It stirs the imagination of every person who lays eyes on it.

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
