This archeological site is one of the most visited one in the whole world and it was declared by UNESCO in 1985 a world heritage site.

Petra was built by the nabataeans in stone that’s why this city is so impressive. They had a unique building stile, they carved the stone from top to bottom not the other way around. The city was under two different dominations, the nabataeans and the Roman Empire, and it was abandoned after an earthquake destroyed a part of it. The city became known to the occident in 1812 when Johann Ludwig Burckhardt discovered it.

This city is so popular that many mistake it with the capital of the United States of America, Washington. Is the city of fuss, the city that never sleeps, which everyone wants to go to at least once in a lifetime. It is knows all over the world because of its multiculturalism, the events, the social differenced that are showing up at every step and blending with the tall and imposing buildings.

One of the most recognizable icons of the United States is in New York City, the much known lady, the Statue of Liberty. The statue is situated on the Liberty Island on the New York harbor. She commemorates the centennial from the United Stated Declaration of Independence signing and it was received as a sign of friendship from France. Another attraction is the Empire state building which at the moment is the tallest one in New York City. At the 86^th and 102^nd floor there are two observation decks open for the public. The one from the 86^th floor is the most popular one and bigger that the one from the 102^nd floor. From up here you have the best landscape of New York City so its no wonder that every tourist that comes to visit the city, visits the Empire State Building as well.

As for the parks you can walk through Central Park, Washington Square Park, Bronx Zoo and New York botanical garden. While you are walking though the big park you’ll notice the difference, is like you’re not in NYC because everything is so quiet, but it only takes a glimpse to the sky to see the skyscrapers to remember where you are.  The Bronx Zoo is much known for its multitudes of animals and the shows that are always there to entertain the visitors.

If you are a fun of the arts you can go watch a theatre play on Broadway or you can visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art or you can relax watching a movie in one of the many cinemas in the city.
