5 Places You Have Never Been To and Want to Go

[Hostile]

If you feel like explaining why, go ahead.

No particular order. I love archaeological sites.

1. Machu Picchu in Peru.

2. Masada fortress in Israel.

3. Colosseum in Rome, Italy.

4. The Great Wall of China.

5. Pyraminds and Sphinx in Egypt.

I've been to the Colosseum and it's really cool. Rome in general was awesome.

I'd love to go to Ireland, Germany and Austria, because that's where my ancestry is from.

I'd love to go to New Zealand and am actually planning a trip there in the next year or so.

I've always thought it would be great to go to Spain during the festival and the running of the bulls.

 

[CliffnDallas]

1. Las Vegas
2. Australia
3. New Zeland
4. Brazille
5. Jessica Alba.

1. Outer Space ( I say this due to the future possibility of passenger space flight)

2. Pyramids/Sphinx.

3. Brussels...I hear Belgium is awesome, plus I love Belgium beer and butter cookies.

4. China

5. Philly. I've never been anywhere on the east coast. Aside from the Eagle hatred (admittedly a part of why I want to go), I think Philly would be a fun city. I also want to wear Cowboys gear everyday I'm there. A bit of a social experiment, I guess.

That is not a social experiment but an invitation to get your butt kicked. I remember when a bunch of my friends were in Montreal and these people just were staring at us. We left a bar and few of the locals came out and started yelling at us. One of my friend what was their problem and it I looked at one of my other friend and he was wearing a Boston Bruin T-shirt. The Bruins just eliminated the Canadians from the playoffs.

If you're going to pick one place to visit on the East Coast, I'd definitely recommend doing 1)Washington D.C. and 2)New York City LONG LONG before Philly.

I lived in Philly for four years and it's nothing special. I'd rank Boston higher as well for it's historical value. In fact, if you're just looking at Pennsylvania, I'd put places like Gettysburg and Lancaster (Amish country) higher.

You could spend a week in either D.C. or NYC and find fun, memorable things to do the whole time. But Philly you can cover in a day and you'd have seen all there is to see and still have time for a cheesesteak.

1. Australia: i did a report on this in the 7th grade, & i've wanted to go there ever since. it looks like an amazing country.

3. Italy: i'm part italian so i think going there would awesome. also the chance to try some great food.

4. Swizterland: such a beautiful country.

5. Japan: i'm just fascinated by it, & i don't know why.

When I was in Montreal I went to the Mary, Queen of the World cathedral and it just abosolutely blew my mind, it was so immense and intricate. Then I came home, looked it up and found out it was an exact one third scale replica of St. Peter's Cathedral and now I can't get it out of my head.

I want to go to Rome so badly, and the Colosseum is up there... but when I get there, I think the first thing I see is St. Peter's Cathedral (and that's coming from a non-Christian, so this is in a purely non-pilgrimmage viewpoint).

Just in general, there's so much to see in Rome, it'd be great to go (especially as a bit of a Roman history buff). The Forum, the Palantine hill, the Spanish steps, the Pantheon, the Trevi fountain... could go on and on.

Hell, just being in the same city as men like Marius, Ceasar, Augustus, Trajan, Cicero would be mind blowing to me.

I went in 2002. It was really fun. Drum and bass (the music i listen to) was created there, so I got to shop in record stores owned by my favorite DJ's. The city itself was really cool. It's huge, and historic in some places. We did alot of "touristy" type stuff (Big Ben, London Tower, etc). I highly reccomend a trip there.

thank you.

 

[SkinsandTerps]

In no order :

Denver
Seattle
Puerto Rico
Turks and Caicos
Cuba

As a bonus the Florida keys. I have a condo in Miami but still after all these years have never taken the trip to the keys. My cousin makes fun of me but I have so much fun doing other stuff too.

I travel every year, but these are places that I have never been to that I want to go to. Denver will be coming up first or the Keys.

 

[SaltwaterServr]

1. Paris for no reason other than the Louvre.

2. Berlin

3. Tokyo. It's an awesome testament to man's resilience that the Japanese rebulit that city so many times after Godzilla destroyed half of it.

4. Pearl Harbor, specifically the Arizona Memorial

5. Antarctica. No joke, I wanna go meteorite hunting.

 

[arglebargle]

1: Budapest, Hungary. For the history. A crossroads of Europe.

2: Australia. Almost made it there once when I was a sprat.

3: Bahia, Brazil for Carnival. Great music, culture, and Boom Boom!

4: Turkey. Lots of world travellers I have met have tabbed Turkey
the favorite place that they've visited. I'd like to see why.

5: Grenada, West Indies. One of the more interesting spice islands.


Though everyone should have Hawaii on their list as a given....

 

[theebs]

well I have a bunch of them, but for now I would like to just drive up the coast from san diego to seattle and make a bunch of stops.

In the immediate future i want to go to Los Angeles and take a trip that may only be interesting to me.....I want to go to a bunch of different locations where things were filmed just for the fun of it!

I know this sounds dumb compared to germany and paris or whatever but its something I have always wanted to do and havent had the chance. I am hoping to go next year and do this.

The first few stops are all back to the future filming locations...

again, I know dumb, but I just want to really bad! I am a little worried people will get ticked off If I pull up out front and take pictures also!!!

The first stop on the tour...9303 Roslyndale Ave. · Arleta (Pacoima), CA
marty mcfly's house!

 

[YosemiteSam]

I've been the Roma and of course visited the Colosseum and you must visit the Pantheon while there too!

I want to visit lots of place. The Pyramids are a must, though my wife is absolutely terrified to go anywhere near the middle east.

I believe we are going to England this year and I will most definitely visit Stonehenge and several other places while there.

 

[Faerluna]

1. Paris

2. Scotland

3. Ireland

4. Australia

5. Disney World

I went to Rome last year and it was amazing! St. Peter's was a real highlight, although I am Catholic, so it had special impact for me. I got to go to Mass at St. Peters, and even go on the rare Scavvi tour, where you get to go BENEATH St. Peters where they excavated to find the burial site of St. Peter himself!

I hit all the big spots you mentioned, but one lesser-known spot that turned out to be my favorite was the Basilica of San Clemente.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basilica_di_San_Clemente

It's the one place where the historical "layers" of Rome can all be seen in one place. On the surface is a beautiful but very typical Roman Cathedral, built around 1100, beneath that is a 4th century basilica where you can still walk through the rooms and see many of the mosaics that have been preserved. Then, you can go down one more level and walk through the passages of a 1st century dwelling that both layers are built upon, which contains a pagan Mithraeum.

It's really incredible. But, in general, I can recommend Rome highly enough!

 

[joseephuss]

Florida probably the Keys. I've never been to any part of Florida

This looks like what I would like to do (so that means it's not dumb)

I have no interest in leaving the U.S.

I like visiting sites where my favorite movies were filmed. (have been to a couple in Arizona).

Seattle would be high on my list (not for movie sites, but just because I've always wanted to go there).

Arlington National Cemetery would also be on my list.
