If you love fairy tales and have a serious case of wanderlust, this bucket list was made for you.

1. Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany

1

1-1As a way to seek refuge and withdraw from public life, Ludwig II of Bavaria built this extravagant castle in 1868. Seven weeks after his death in 1886, the structure was opened to the paying public and has since become one of the most visited castles in Europe.Neuschwanstein is also the inspiration for the Sleeping Beauty castle in Disneyland, so it’s clearly magical!

2. Glowworm Caves, New Zealand

2

2-1This specific spot in the Waitomo Caves is known as the Glowworm Grotto, a place where glowworms ignite a starry scenery on the ceilings and walls. This species is exclusively found in New Zealand and is around the size of a mosquito.

3. Colmar, France

3

3-1One of the most enchanting towns of France, Colmar is reminiscent of the provincial town of Beauty and the Beast, but better. In addition to being a quaint, charming place to visit, Colmar is also home to Musée Animé du Jouet et des Petits Trains, the Animated Museum of Toys and Modeled Trains.

4. Batu Caves, Malaysia

4

4-1The Batu Caves are a series of chambers beneath limestone hills and date back to as many as 400 million years ago. At the base of the caves lies a giant 140-foot golden statue of Lord Murugan, the Hindu god of war, victory, wisdom, and love. Visitors reach the caves by stairs, a total of 272 steps, and enter an area filled with Hindu shrines where worshippers pay their respects.

5. Saint Basil’s Cathedral, Russia

5

5-1The Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed, located in Moscow, was formally a church but is now a museum. The spectacular range of bright colors and quirky architecture make it a whimsical must-see spot.

6. Wisteria Tunnel, Japan

6

6-1This breathtaking scenery of gorgeous flowers can be found at the Kawachi Fuji Garden in Kitakyushu, Japan. The best time to walk through the tunnel is late April to mid-May. If a stroll through here doesn’t make you feel like you’re in a Disney movie, nothing will.

7. Paro Taktsang, Bhutan

7

7-1Known as the Tiger’s Nest, Taktsang Palphug Monastery is a prominent Himalayan Buddhist sacred site perched upon the cliffside of the Upper Paro Valley. Its unique location is alarming but captivating, making it worthy of a visit.

8. Cave of the Crystals, Mexico

8

8-1Located 980 feet below the Chihuahua Desert, this giant cave of crystals is home to the largest crystals discovered on Earth, the biggest being 39 feet long and 55 tons in weight. The cave is relatively unexplored, since the conditions of the atmosphere are tolerable for only 10 minutes or so (without proper equipment and protection).

9. Angkor Wat, Cambodia

9

9-1Angkor Wat, or “City of Temples,” is a significant religious center in Southeast Asia and is often thought of as a symbol of Cambodia. Beyond its architecture, the mossy residue and overgrown vines give it an ancient appeal, hiding centuries of historical memories.

10. Angel Falls, Venezuela

10

10-1With a plunge 15 times the height of Niagara Falls, Angel Falls streams from the tabletop mountain called Auyantepui. The site was named after Jimmy Angel, a U.S. aviator who was the first known person to fly over the falls. His ashes were scattered there in 1960. In addition to its undeniable beauty, you may notice that the area is similar to Paradise Falls from Disney’s Up, a clear inspiration for the movie.

11. Petra, Jordan

11

11-1More than 2,000 years ago, the Nabataeans built the town of Petra into the mountains, now the most-visited tourist attraction of Jordan. Petra is also known as the Rose City due to the color of the stone from which it was carved. This significant example of ancient civilization shows just how astonishing the world can be.

12. Zhangye Danxia Landform, China

12

12-1What looks like a canvas of extraordinary color is a range of mountains in China. The rainbow formation is the result of red sandstone and mineral deposits being laid down for over 24 million years.

13. Mont Saint-Michel, France

13

13-1An island commune in Normandy, France, Mont Saint-Michel is known as the “Wonder of the West” and attracts 3 million visitors per year. The Kingdom of Corona from Disney’s Tangled was modeled after Mont Saint-Michel and is just as magical as the real thing.

14. Pamukkale, Turkey

14

14-1Pamukkale, or “Cotton Castle,” is a natural site in southwestern Turkey that is home to hot springs and travertines, terraces of carbonate minerals left by the flowing water. People can relax in the small turquoise pools of bliss, but the terraces themselves are restricted to preserve the site.

15. Glenfinnan Viaduct, Scotland

15

15-1This 21-arch single-track viaduct is a railway in Scotland that was built in 1898. Harry Potter fans may recognize the structure, as it was used in three HP films when the Hogwarts Express carried wizards and witches to Hogwarts.

16. Hạ Long Bay, Vietnam

16

16-1Also known as “Descending Dragon Bay,” Hạ Long is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and popular tourist destination in Quảng Ninh, Vietnam. This natural wonder features turquoise waters, limestone karts, and isles of all shapes and sizes.

17. Las Lajas Sanctuary, Colombia

17

17-1Built between 1916 and 1949, this wondrous basilica church stands on a canyon in southern Colombia. This gorgeous structure surrounded by a pool of green is both striking and mystical.

18. Sea of Stars on Vaadhoo Island, Maldives

18

18-1What appears as a mirror image of the stars above, the bioluminescence in the water is actually due to marine microbes called phytoplankton. The effect it has on the shore is absolutely breathtaking and it encapsulates everything you’d imagine to be in a fairy tale. You can also experience this magical effect in Vieques, Puerto Rico.

19. Sintra, Portugal

19

19-1The charming town of Sintra is often recognized for its 19th-century Romantic architecture and the royal estates and castles. The Pena National Palace (pictured on the right) sits on top of a hill above the city and can be seen from Lisbon on a clear day.

20. Avenue of the Baobabs, Madagascar

20

20-1This alley of towering baobab trees lines the dirt road in the Menabe region of Madagascar and has become one of the most popular spots for tourists in the area.

21. Peleș Castle, Romania

21

21-1This Neo-Renaissance castle is located in the Carpathian Mountains, built between 1873 and 1914. The Peleş Castle was built at the initiative of King Charles I, with the purpose of serving as a summer home. The outside of the castle has a charming feel to it, but the inside is very royal-esque.

22. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, China

22

22-1In ancient times, this forest was deemed remote and inaccessible, but it has since become a must-see destination in Hunan, China. The unique mountains are often compared to the floating mountains of Pandora from the movie Avatar.

23. Taj Mahal, India

23

23-1This white marble mausoleum of Agra, India, is considered the jewel of Muslim art and was also the inspiration for the Sultan’s Palace in Disney’s Aladdin. The Taj Mahal was built between 1632–1653 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, and has since become a universally admired masterpiece of the world’s heritage.

24. Dark Hedges, Ireland

24

24-1A fantasy-like avenue of beech trees, the Dark Hedges was planted in the 18th century by the Stuart family to impress visitors upon the entrance of their home. The road is known to be haunted by the Grey Lady, who appears at dusk. The HBO show Game of Thrones has also made a special appearance here.

25. Palace of Versailles, France

25

25-1This royal château in France has a whopping 2,300 rooms, 67 staircases, and 5,210 pieces of furniture. The palace is famous for its hall of mirrors and the gardens, the latter of which took 40 years to complete.

26. Skagit Valley Tulip Fields, United States

26

26-1Located in Washington state, the fields are visited by hundreds of thousands who come here between April 1–30 to see these gorgeous flowers in bloom. The festival is designed as a driving tour since there is no one designated “site.”

  • The Crypt Of San Magno, Anagni, Italy. 🇮🇹

An extraordinary example of Italian medieval religious art lies hidden in the historic town of Anagni, located about an hour southeast of Rome. Also known as the City of Popes (four Popes hailed from the town), Anagni is crowned by its beauty. Romanesque cathedral dating back to the turn of the 11th and 12th centuries CE.

Under the cathedral floor, the magnificent crypt of Saint Magnus provides an extraordinary example of 13th-century medieval religious art with its different cycles and representations, decorating a space that measures over 500 square meters.

Three craftsmen known as the “masters of Anagni” are believed to have been responsible for the different cycles, which represent the story of man’s salvation from creation to the end of time, with apocalyptic overtones, and several walls are adorned with stories of local saints and martyrs.
