World's Top 100 "Wonders" (accd. to Hillman)

World Traveler and Food Critic, Hillman, has traveled widely an composed his list of the too 100 things to see in the world. He awards Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals. The Gold list is the top 100. Each has a page on the website that describes the Wonder and gives practical information on location and travel. He also has a voting system if you think something is missing (though no rankings have changed over the past year that I’ve been using the site). www.hillmanwonders.com
