Let the world’s most remarkable architecture inspire your next adventure.

This is your passport to 100 places designed to impress – from ancient temples and Art Deco hotels to Modernist marvels and mega-tall mega-structures. These are the landmarks that define destinations, fill photo galleries, and stick in your memory long after the trip is over.

Organized by continent, the book takes you on a global tour of must-see sights: the Empire State Building and Christ the Redeemer, the château of the Loire Valley and the Pyramids of Giza, the temples of Kyoto and the white sails of the Sydney Opera House. These are the places you’ve seen on postcards, in films and in your feed – and now it’s time to see them for yourself.

Inside you’ll find:
  • 100 world-class landmarks chosen for their visual wow-factor and cultural impact
  • chapters organized by continent for easy browsing and destination dreaming
  • striking full-page photography plus top tips for photo ops, iconic viewpoints and must-capture angles
  • bite-sized insights with cultural context, historical tidbits and reasons to visit
  • smart travel notes: when to go, how to get there and other landmarks to see while you're there
Whether you’re building your bucket list, ticking off a major milestone or just craving new ideas for what to see next, this book is your guide to the humanmade wonders worth the trip.
