The Top 30 Bucket List Destinations and Landmarks in the world were announced this week and unfortunately, Ireland did not make the cut.

However, the destinations that did make their way into the list are still pretty amazing and we’re planning to get a good few of these ticked off as soon as we can!

Voted for by over 2,000 British people in a poll for British Airways, it was the Eiffel Tower in Paris that bagged first place followed by the Grand Canyon and Big Ben.

At 150 metres tall, the Statue Of Liberty was a gift from France to the USA. The design was based on the Romanian goddess of freedom, Libertas.  It's valued at over $45 million now and today is the day it arrived in New York City harbour in 1885.

Other spots that made it into the top ten include the Statue of Liberty, the pyrimads of Giza and the Niagra Falls.

Here’s the remainder of the list… how many of these have you been lucky enough to tick off already?
