Take in the world from a whole new perspective…
I don’t have a fear of heights. Quite the opposite, in fact. I love heights. I love seeing the world from up on high and jump at any invitation to do so. We figured there must be a few other thrill seekers out there who just love living the high life. So we’ve put together a wanderlust listicle for your viewing pleasure. If you’re after a flight of fancy, looking to join the mile high club or simply secretly believe you’re Spiderman, this is the place for you. These gravity defying destinations are the ‘Haute Couture’ of travel that come top of our globe trotting bucket list:
1. Puerto Rico: The Monster
The Monster at Toro Verde is the world’s longest zip line, at 2.5km! Are we excited or what?
2. The Belfort Belfry, Bruges
This historical clock tower in Bruges market square offer some incredible panoramic views.
3. Ile Aux Cerfs, Mauritius
The Treetops Adventure at Ile Aux Cerfs is absolutely ace. I should know – I’ve done it!
4. The CN Tower, Toronto
Day or night, the CN Tower is a delightful sight.
5. Bethesda Zip World, Wales
We haven’t been to the Velocity Zip World course in Bethesda, North Wales yet, but we certainly plan to. It’s Europe’s longest zip line and the fastest in the world!
6. The London Eye
Because how could we leave out our own treasured landmark, the Eye of the capital? Throwback to when we spent a Summer evening here sipping gin cocktails high in the sky.
7. Sigiriya, Sri Lanka
Climbing Sigiriya is a must-do when visiting Sri-Lanka. It’s an ancient rock fortress, known locally as “The Lion Rock”. Once home to a palace and a monastery, it’s now an ancient ruin with one of the most incredibly views in the country.
8. Alp Languard, St Moritz
We went hiking here and we can honestly say St Moritz in Switzerland offers some of the most breath-taking views in the world!
9. Marina Bay Sands Hotel, Singapore
Besides having one of the most magical infinity pools in the world, Marina Bay Sands is the ultimate aerial resort. It’s supposed to resemble a deck of cards, but we think it looks more like a space submarine!
10. The Burj Khalifa, Dubai
It doesn’t get any better than this. No, seriously. The Burj Khalifa is the world’s tallest building, at 829.8m high! Generally speaking, Dubai is the perfect city for those with a head for heights. It has a LOT of skyscrapers.
