8. Prague, Czech Republic Head to the top of Petrin Hill for sweeping views of this bohemian gem. While there are dozens of medieval wonders to take in, including the fairytale spires of Prague Castle, make sure to leave time for a walk across the Baroque spectacle of Charles Bridge, a sixteen-arch stunned lined with statues commissioned by King Charles IV in the 1300s.

7. London, England Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, the Tower Bridge, Shakespeare's Globe Theater, Westminster Abbey–the list of iconic London sights is almost overwhelming. In between hitting some of England's most famous locales, make time to stop in at some of the city's sensational contemporary art galleries and theaters, where the creative tradition of London is still alive and well.

6. Cape Town, South Africa Located on the shore of Table Bay, Cape Town was first developed by the Dutch East India Company as a victualling (supply) station for Dutch ships sailing to East Africa, India, and the Far East. Jan van Riebeeck's arrival on 6 April 1652 established the first permanent European settlement in South Africa. Cape Town quickly outgrew its original purpose as the first European outpost at the Castle of Good Hope, becoming the economic and cultural hub of the Cape Colony. Until the Witwatersrand Gold Rush and the development of Johannesburg, Cape Town was the largest city in South Africa. Cape Town has rocketed to the top of travel must-lists in recent years thanks to its stunning ocean–and mountain-views, rolling vineyards and brilliant crayon-colored neighborhoods. (The adventurous food scene, world class wines, and, oh yes, adorable native penguins don't hurt either.)

5. Sydney, Australia Considered one of the most iconic buildings of the 20th century, the Sydney Opera House is easily the most recognizable feature of Sydney's skyline, but it's far from alone in its beauty. Take the glittering cerulean waters of the city's beaches (the most famous, Bondi, is a must for surfers) or the verdant Royal Botanical Gardens. For less outdoorsy types, the city is also home to a plethora of museums, zoos, and aquariums to suit every taste, not to mention a culinary scene that will make any Instagram fiend's food porn needs.
|
4. Charleston, South Carolina Despite recent coastal flooding, Charleston remains one of the crown jewels of American beauty. With the picturesque parks hung with Spanish moss, pastel row houses and stately manors, Charleston has the look of a classic European city lush with quintessential southern charm. Spend your days touring the local tea and rice plantations that make the area's low-country cuisine so crave-worthy, or head to the water for spectacular sunset views and the occasional dolphin spotting.
|
3. Bangkok, Thailand If you add only one word to your vocabulary before hitting the streets of Thailand's capital, make it "wat." No matter which of these Buddhist temples you wind up at, you're guaranteed to find breath-taking beauty, be it the reclining Buddha at Wat Pho, the 5.5 ton solid gold version at Wat Traimit, the elaborate spires of Wat Arun, or the astonishing gilded wonderland of Wat Phra Kaew, part of the same complex as the ceremonial Grand Palace.
|
2. St. Petersburg, Russia Sometimes referred to as the city of czars, Russia's on-again-off-again former capital is home of some of the planet's most stunning examples of old world opulence. The Hermitage Museum, housed partially inside of the Winter Palace that Catherine the Great once called home, is practically wallpapered with paintings from the likes of da Vinci, Rembrandt, and Matisse. If you're not much for structured galleries, just wandering around the palace-dotted city is an art experience in and of itself thanks to the gorgeously painted onion domes and gilded cathedrals that punctuate the skyline.

How do you define a place's beauty? The shocking blue of a crystalline sea? Elaborate architectural marvels reaching toward the sky? Somewhere rich in history? Whatever form of beauty speaks to you, we've put together a list of the most beautiful cities in the world to add to your travel bucket list. 1. Florence, Italy Rome may get the credit for being Italy's most historic city, but for sheer, unadulterated Italian beauty, it's hard to beat Florence. Take a stroll down any cobblestone street and you're bound to bump into astonishing piazzas and cathedrals–the skyline dominating cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is a cannot-miss–as well as museums and galleries where the absence of mile-long lines belies the presence of some of star works of the Italian masters, including Michelangelo's iconic David. http://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/travel-dining/g12244524/most-beautiful-city-in-world/

Ndi ara Before Buhari came to power: I was buying a bag of rice N7,500 but later N23,000. Now N16,000. They said its for my own good, that local farmers are now very rich! I was buying a bag of Semo N1,550 but later N3400. They said it is just to ensure food sufficiency! I was buying fuel at N87 per liter, but later N145. Now currently selling from N280-400 They said it is just a temporal hardship for the nation to move on! I was paying 1,000 NEPA Bill, but later N5,000, they said it is to ensure steady electricity! I was buying a pack of sugar at N250 but now N500. They said I should thank God for this government! Sanusi raised alarm about missing $20 billion during GEJ administration, later reduced it to $10 billion, the nation was agog. Under Buhari Kachukwu raised alarm of misappropriation of $26 billion, no reduction but he was asked to go and reconcile with Baru and story ends! Naira was 178 to $1 under GEJ administration ,but under Buhari administration it went up to N500 to $1 and now exchanging for over N306 to $1 and we are told the economy is the focus of this government! HoS raised alarm that my president was aware of Maina's return but choses to be quiet, no denial, yet, no reason was given to Nigerians for that! We used to have presidential media chat in which d president keeps citizens abreast with what's happening, we only had it once under this administration and no reason is given for the alienation of the citizens! Almost 3 years gone, no single project has been commissioned under a government that has the highest history of budget in Nigeria! I can go on and on...but, my challenge is that, people keep saying that PMB is the best thing that ever happened to Nigeria, even when this is not his first time in government. I am yet to be convinced." APC AND BUHARI NA SCAM. #copied |
