History and travel often go hand in hand because the importance of a place gets much more increased with the story of its origin. The fascinating tales of the inception of a destination makes it even more motivating for the traveler to get there.
With growing awareness and explosion of information in the internet, many travelers are looking forward to choosing historic destinations to get an enthralling experience.
Here are some of the best destinations for the History traveler in the year 2019:
- Machu Picchu (Historical place in Peru): This ruined city is accessible only by train or a four-day exhausting trek. Located in Southern Peru, Machu Picchu is an obvious choice because of the rich history associated with it. The place has had Spanish invaders and also referred to as Lost City of Incas. The destination has been recognized by UNESCO as a world heritage site in the year 1983 Machu Picchu is open to travelers year around!
- Tikal (Historical place in Guatemala): A dominant Mayan city, this place is located in Guatemala. For all those fans of Indiana Jones series, Tikal offers a breathtaking adventure involving history. Take a trip to the park during the nights and also dwell in the sunrise over the temple. Interestingly, this was the city shown in the Science Fiction blockbuster Star Wars: A New Hope.
- Pyramids at Giza (Historical place in Egypt): Over 3000 years old, anything would be less to describe this architectural marvel. These three pyramids align to the stars and contain hidden chambers which are still yet to be explored. This engineering marvel offers more mystery and also brings out the curious history travel in you.
- Angkor Wat (Historical place in Cambodia): The ancient city of Khmer has this breathtaking temple which is another architectural wonder. Because of the amazing history it has, the place attracts heavy travel crowds throughout the year. Make sure to purchase a three day or a five-day pass to avoid the unnecessary rush in the last minute.
- Petra (Historical place in Jordan): This amazing site was discovered in the year 1812 by a Swiss explorer with the help of local tribesmen. Before that, it was almost unknown to the rest of the world. It was initially ruled by The Romans and was abandoned after the empire’s decline. In the year 1985, it became UNESCO’s world heritage site for obviously great reasons. It was also named into the recent list of seven wonders of the world.
- Colosseum (Coliseum) and Roman Forum (Historical place in Italy): Only a few remains of this majestic site remain for travelers all over the world which used to rule the entire world once upon a time. Julius Caesar and his remarkable stories of the ruling can be heard in these ruins. The gladiators battled to death here for the entertainment of the kings which is quite remarkable. Only the floor and basement remains intact now and the monument has been crumbling over the years. The forum is quite a brilliant place to have a walk surrounded by historic tales.
- Taj Mahal (Historical place in India): Built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan for his lady love Mumtaz, Taj Mahal is made of white marble entirely. This monument attracts four million tourists per year and that has become a threat to the place. Because of increased air pollution, the department of tourism is taking all the measures to keep it perfectly intact. It is obviously named in the seven wonders of the world and listed in UNESCO’s world heritage sites.
