historical places on earth

With my time in  Boston  coming to a close, I decided to really get out and explore the city. It’s been ages since I did, but isn’t that how it is? You never really see the city you live in all your life because it’s always there. Well, not anymore! Boston  is a small and compact city. It’s easily walk able, so I broke up my city tour into various walks. My first walk took me around the city parks, the statehouse, and the famous Beacon Hill, the residence of Boston’s elite.In the middle of the city are Boston Commons and the Public Gardens. The Commons are a combination of a few things: fields for sports, a wading pool, the historic Freedom Trail, and tree-lined walkways and grassy knolls where you can relax the afternoon away.In summer, the Commons are filled with people relaxing out in the sun. Little kids play and splash in Frog Pond while students lay out in the sun enjoying their break. Workers flood the benches during lunchtime, catching some fresh air and enjoying the weather

Located near  Salisbury ,  England , this megalithic structure is over 3,000 years old, and its stones come all the way from Wales. Scholars still are not sure how the builders got the stones there and have tried to replicate the feat, with dismal results. Moreover, we only have a vague idea to its purpose (we’re basically just guessing). Stonehenge is now fenced off, and you can no longer go into the circle; visitors can only walk around the attraction. But it’s worth visiting for the mystery behind it and an excellent and detailed audio tour .

This ancient city in  Cambodia  was the center of the Khmer Empire that once ruled most of  Southeast Asia . This empire fell into decline, but not before building amazing temples and buildings that were later reclaimed by the jungle for hundreds of years.Though  Angkor Wat  is packed with tourists, it’s still breathtaking to see. And the temple regions to the north and south see far fewer tourists than the main temple grouping. (Though admittedly, some of them are simply piles of stone rubble now.)The most popular temples are Angkor Wat,  Bayon , Ta Phrom, and Angkor Thom, and they always have crowds. In order to really experience the temples, you’ll need to purchase the three- or five-day pass. The best time to visit is early in the morning before the big tour groups arrive and stay late after they have gone.

This Mayan city-state is one of the largest and best-preserved ruins of that civilization, and was a dominant force in the Mayan world during the Classic Period (200-900 AD). Located in  Guatemala , this place lets you experience your inner Indiana Jones early in the morning or late at night when the tourists go home and it’s just you and the jungle. It is very serene, and that made for one of the best travel memories I have. Be sure to spend the night in the park, as you then really get to see it without the crowds. I particularly enjoyed seeing the sunrise from atop the temples. (Random trivia: The city at the end of  Star Wars: A New Hope ? Tikal!)

Mohatta Palace is the most famous and beautiful place in Karachi where people come and enjoy the attractive scenic views. The building is in pink color in combination of Jodhpur stone and local yellow stone of Gizri. The Mohatta Palace consists of museum where you will see the statues of some legends like Queen Victoria and Soldiers of Raj. This museum is open for visitors from 11.00AM to 6:00PM and closed on Monday.

Built in the 1600 s, this building in Agra, India, is a testament to undying love. This white marble tomb built for Emperor Shah Jahan’s deceased wife is a must-see for everyone. In 1983, it was named a UNESCO World Heritage site, and also has been named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. The Taj sees between two and four million tourists annually, so there have been recent restrictions on tourism in an effort to help protect the site. However, the greatest threat is the air pollution that is destroying the marble.
