This Incredible Map Shows Every Extraordinary Sight Around The World

What’s on your bucket list?

We’re guessing you want to see the Northern Lights, eat sushi in Japan and ride a camel through the desert. Extremely worthy ideas. But aren’t they just a bit, you know… conventional?

What if we told you that there was a map tailor-made to help you create, curate and fulfill the ultimate bucket list of extraordinary sights.

They’ve curated the recommendations from The Atlas, a page on their website that reviews locations and destinations and deems which are worth a visit.

To celebrate reaching more than 10,000 recommendations, Atlas Obscura created this map, which shows each location and a description explaining why you should visit.

From tombs to museums to natural wonders, whatever you’re interested in, it’s here.

Want to see the bright lights of London in a way not many have before? Head to God’s Own Junkyard, a haven of neon signs in Walthamstow once featured in Vogue.

Or if you’re in Thailand and bored of the typical backpacker trail, head to Wat Pa Thewapithak, a hellish amusement park filled with scary statues and models warning you of the terrifying depths of Buddhist Hell.

In New Zealand, you’ve got to make sure you visit Milford Sound, where you can see dolphins, waterfalls, seals and penguins.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.
