The Most Interesting Places In The World

There are many interesting and amazing places in the world that everyone wants to visit. In my opinion the most interesting places are following:
1. Fonoifua island
Fonoifua is the only island in the Tonga  where green sand, silver sand and red sand found.
2.Afu aau - waterfall
Sparkling blue water.
3.Prague Castle
Prague Castle is the largest ancient castle on the world. Built in the 9th century it served as the seat of Bohemian Kings, Holy Roman Emperors, presidents of Czechoslovakia and now it serves as the seat of president of the Czech Republic.The castle complex si more then 500 meters long and in average it is about 130 meters wide. This city inside a city consists of 4 religious buildings (the most significant is the St. Vitus Cathedral), 4 palaces and several halls, gardens and other buildings.The Changing of the Guard ceremony takes place every hour by the castle gates. At noon the flag ceremony is held in the First courtyard.
4. Great Sphinx of Giza
Great Sphinx is a statue of a mythical creature with lion's body and human head. Located on the Giza plateau the Great Sphinx is the world's largest monolith statue and is a famous symbol of Egypt. The statue is 20 meters high and about 73 meters long.Its construction is dated back to about 2500 BC during the reign of the pharaoh Khafra who built the second pyramid at Giza.During centuries the Sphinx was damaged and the most noticeable is that the Sphinx's nose is missing. It's said that Napoleon's men shot it off at the end of the 18th century. But drawings dated earlier in the same century show that the nose was missing even before.
5.Nigera Falls
Probably the most famous waterfalls of the world lies on the Niagara River and on the border between Ontario province of Canada and U.S. state of New York.The Niagara Falls consists of two major waterfalls: higher Horseshoe Falls and smaller American Falls. Majority of Horseshoe Falls lies on the Canadian side, while American Falls lies on the American side.The Horseshoe Falls drop about 53 meters (173 ft) and they are almost 800 meters (2600 ft) wide. The American Falls are "only" about 21 meters high and their width is slightly above 300 meters (1000 ft).During summertime Niagara Falls attract large crowds of visitors, because till midnight Falls are illuminated with floodlights.
