Inspired by the excellent current BBC series, with Dan Cruickshank, Around the World in 80 Treasures, here's my own list of 100 (human sites not just natural).

This could serve as an extremely expensive to do list! How 'bout the Burj Al Arab hotel?

Well as you can guess i haven't actually seen most of them. P'raps that should be my lifetime goal then i wouldn't have regrets when i'm old(er) + (more) decrepit. You had me worried, but the Burj-al-Arab hotel is nestling next to the Winter Palace.
