Places to visit bucket list

Hello :) 

After yesterday's discussion about your favourite places that you've been, I thought I should make it into a little weekend duo and ask what places are on your bucket list? What country, city or other location would you love to go to in the future?

A few of mine would be
  • California
  • Berlin
  • Stonehenge
  • Iceland
  • I'd love to go to one of the Disneyland locations one day too

    I’d like to visit niagra falls, and go to Venice. Also see the Rockies and Canada, and see the ice hotel and northern lights. I’d also like to walk a while on the Great Wall of China and visit the Himalayas and Tibet. So many lovely places to go, I expect I’ll think of some more later.

    I would go anywhere, I’m not fussy, I just love travelling.:smiley:

    I do prefer the non tourist areas though. When I go to a foreign place I prefer to go away from the areas popular with tourists and instead see the authentic side of the place.

    Yes that's definitely true @janer1967, it's certainly going to be a while before my next holiday.

    All great suggestions @leeCal, hopefully you get to some of those one day :)  The Northern Lights and Venice in particular look stunning.

    That's interesting @66Mustang, I see where you're coming from. The heavily populated areas can get quite irritating after a while, almost feels like you don't get enough peace to enjoy your surroundings. I definitely enjoy getting that feeling of authenticity whenever I visit somewhere.

    I've been to a few of the places mentioned. Venice is stunning and a favourite, been there twice. I love Italy and have seen a good deal of it. 
    But the one place I have always wanted to see and is on my bucket list is Monument Valley in Arizona - Utah.

    Thanks for sharing @Dragonslayer, that sounds like a good choice :) What is it that makes you want to visit there in particular?

    @Ross_Scope Its has the most beautiful scenery and rock formations. It is also a sacred place to native Americans. It is the place John Ford (film director) used to film westerns a long time ago now.

    I'd love to go to Cuba before it gets fully Americanised.

    I'm half Canadian so I've been to a couple of places in Canada, but I'd really love to go to Vancouver.

    I also want to visit Europe. Pretty vague I know, but the only time I've been is France for one day in primary school, so I'd love to properly go and visit some places.

    Sounds great @Dragonslayer, I hope you get to go there one day :) 

    And I'm somewhat similar @Tori_Scope, I've been to Germany and Ibiza but that's about it, there are so many places in Europe I'd love to visit. My partner wants to do a European road trip one day.

    Maybe a cruise would be ideal to stop off at many places in Europe (take me with you though)

    Scope online community members trip around Europe @janer1967? I'm sure it'd be easy to organise... :D 

    A cruise or roadtrip are great ideas. I like the idea of interrailing too.

    I like the idea of a European road trip!

    If it wasn’t obvious from my username I love cars/driving, as well as travelling. I thought a road trip would be a great idea and for me a way of combining two passions.

    Ideally a GT (grand tourer) car is needed first :)

    On a more realistic note I do hope to take my Motability car into Europe - even just France - at least once before I have to hand it back. :)
