While abroad, the list of must-see items in your guidebook is often overwhelmingly long. Whether you want to hit every historical monument, hip restaurant or show along the way, you can never seem to get it all done. What’s something you should never miss, though? Tall, glinting skyscrapers – they are definitely a sight to see and will give you an aerial view in case you miss any of the landmarks.
Here are five skyscrapers to put on your bucket list:
Soaring 123 stories high, the Lotte World Tower has offices, retail outlets, a hotel, movie theater and an observation deck, according to Hongkiat. Although it wasn’t completed until quite recently, the tower is already unbelievably popular in Seoul. Men and women travel from all over to see the amazing view from the observation deck.
Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China and the second tallest building in the world! The tower’s tiered construction was designed for high energy efficiency and has divided zones for office, retail, and leisure use. The tower has special features – like the reflective glass to lower heat absorption – that set it apart from other skyscrapers.
With the best restaurants, hotels, and offices in all of England, the Shard is one of the city’s main tourist attractions – for good reason! Deemed one of the world’s eight most beautiful skyscrapers of 2016, the Shard has the London’s highest viewing platform in the city.
“Identical Towers, Identical Wonders!” many say in regard to these elegantly-built towers. Their observation decks gives men and women a picture-worthy view of the city that “exudes Malaysian culture,” according to CNN. At night, the towers light up with different colors, making for another great photo opportunity. This is a must-see landmark everyone should visit while on vacation in Kuala Lumpur.
Known around the world because of its unique shape, the Burj Al Arab (coined “the sailboat”) sits on a man-made island in Dubai. Along with its very own private beach, the building comes equipped with its own bridge that connects to the city. The Burj Al Arab has it all, making it one of the must-see skyscrapers in the world!
