Travel company Lonely Planet has released their ‘ultimate’ travel destinations list, and it’s left us (and we’re sure many others) itching to book a flight and check out the world.
The publisher rounded up some of the world’s best travel authors and experts to rank “mega-sights and hidden gems in a definitive wish list of the 500 best places to visit on earth.”
There are some obvious mentions on the list, but also a couple of destinations you’ll need to freshly add to your bucket list.
And as for Australia? We did alright. The Twelve Apostles came 12th, the Sydney Opera House came 57th and Uluru clocked in at a cool 33rd.
