Château Frontenac - 6 (5+1) As @Siptah put it "as always
Swayambhunath - 6 (9-3) as always"
 
Château Frontenac - 6 - 3 = 3 (Just a hotel, no matter how grand).
Swayambhunath - 6 + 1 = 7 (Stupas may seem tiresome due to the plethora of religious wonders, but this is IMO more a wonder)

3. :trophy3rd: Etemenanki

Here's some contemporary wonders (to counter some of the pre-industrial religious wonder bias);

•Apple Park
•Rogers Centre
•Willis Tower
•World Trade Center (pre-9/11)

•Any large metro system (London, New York, Tokyo, Moscow, or Shanghai); since Civ VI wonders occupy their own tiles, the wonder can simply be depicted as a large metro yard

Let's begin.

Yuanming Yuan (Old Summer Palace) - 20
 
Acoma Pueblo - 20
Aït Benhaddou - 20

Krakow Cloth Hall - 20
Lincoln Center - 20

Oost-Indisch Huis - 21 (20 + 1) For me, the best choice for Dutch wonder. And this represents a very important moment in world history that can not be overlooked.
Palace of Knossos - 20
São Francisco Church and Convent of Salvador - 20
Sydney Harbour Bridge - 20
Tāq Kasrā - 20
TauTona Mine - 20
Temple of Jupiter in Baalbek - 20
Theatre of Sabratha - 20
Torre del Oro - 20

Willis Tower - 14 (17 - 3) I prefer the Empire State Building or the Chrysler Building. I am not particularly interested in this one.
Yuanming Yuan (Old Summer Palace) - 20
 
Acoma Pueblo - (20-3)=17 It's an entire settlement on a more interesting mesa. I prefer Cliff Palace or Pueblo Bonito for Ancestral Puebloan wonders.

Oost-Indisch Huis - 21
Palace of Knossos - 20
São Francisco Church and Convent of Salvador - 20
Sydney Harbour Bridge - 20
Tāq Kasrā - (20+1)=21 It's a worthy wonder to represent the Sassanids in-game. Plus the basis for the Age of Empires 2 Persian wonder.
TauTona Mine - 20
Temple of Jupiter in Baalbek - 20
Theatre of Sabratha - 20
Torre del Oro - 20
Uraniborg - 20
Willis Tower - 14

Very nice list @Xandinho, I like almost all of them.

Acoma Pueblo - 17
Aït Benhaddou - 20
Basilica Cathedral of Santa María la Menor - 20
Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família - 18 (21-3) I like the construction site per se, but I think a super late game religious wonder is not necessary.
Bayt al Hikma - 21 (20+1) The first thing that comes to my mind when thinking about scientific wonders. Uraniborg is a close competitor though.
Chan Chan - 20
Chùa Bút Tháp - 20
El Caracol of Chichen Itza - 20
Grand Bazaar of Istanbul - 20
Great Mosque of Kilwa - 20
Huaca del Sol - 20
Kizhi Pogost - 20
Krakow Cloth Hall - 20
Lincoln Center - 20
Lotus Temple - 20
Mina El Teniente - 20
Oost-Indisch Huis - 21
Palace of Knossos - 20
São Francisco Church and Convent of Salvador - 20
Sydney Harbour Bridge - 20
Tāq Kasrā - 21
TauTona Mine - 20
Temple of Jupiter in Baalbek - 20
Theatre of Sabratha - 20
Torre del Oro - 20
Uraniborg - 20
Willis Tower - 14
Yuanming Yuan (Old Summer Palace) - 20
 
Acoma Pueblo - 17
Aït Benhaddou - 20
Basilica Cathedral of Santa María la Menor - 20
Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família - 18
Bayt al Hikma - 21
Chan Chan - 20
Chùa Bút Tháp - 20
El Caracol of Chichen Itza - 20
Grand Bazaar of Istanbul - 20+1=21 - This was the commercial centre of the Ottoman Empire, and I think it would make a great trade/luxuries wonder.
Great Mosque of Kilwa - 20
Huaca del Sol - 20
Kizhi Pogost - 20
Krakow Cloth Hall - 20
Lincoln Center - 20
Lotus Temple - 20
Mina El Teniente - 20
Oost-Indisch Huis - 21
Palace of Knossos - 20
São Francisco Church and Convent of Salvador - 20
Sydney Harbour Bridge - 20
Tāq Kasrā - 21
TauTona Mine - 20
Temple of Jupiter in Baalbek - 20
Theatre of Sabratha - 20
Torre del Oro - 20
Uraniborg - 20
Willis Tower - 14-3=11 - I just don't think this would make a good wonder. There is a lot of better skyscrappers, like Empire State Building, Petronas Towers, Taipei 101, Burj Khalifa or Chrysler Tower.
Yuanming Yuan (Old Summer Palace) - 20

Krakow Cloth Hall - 20
Lincoln Center - 20
Lotus Temple - 20
Mina El Teniente - 20
Oost-Indisch Huis - 21
Palace of Knossos - 21 (20 +1) I confess that I am not enthusiastic about a Minoan civilization. But this palace would be a great addition, this structure can represent the Minoans without having to include them in the game.
São Francisco Church and Convent of Salvador - 20
Sydney Harbour Bridge - 17 (20 - 3) Nothing against this one, but I have other bridges in mind.
Tāq Kasrā - 21
TauTona Mine - 20
Temple of Jupiter in Baalbek - 20
Theatre of Sabratha - 20
Torre del Oro - 20

Chùa Bút Tháp - 20
El Caracol of Chichen Itza - (20+1)=21 A scientific wonder for the Maya.

Great Mosque of Kilwa - 20
Huaca del Sol - 20
Kizhi Pogost - 20
Krakow Cloth Hall - 20
Lincoln Center - 20
Lotus Temple - 20
Mina El Teniente - (20-3)=17 I'm not big on mine wonders. It wouldn't look much different from regular mines. Besides most of it is underground. What will the wonder movie show? A bunch of miners digging a hole?
Oost-Indisch Huis - 21
Palace of Knossos - 21
São Francisco Church and Convent of Salvador - 20
Sydney Harbour Bridge - 17
Tāq Kasrā - 21

Palace of Knossos - 21
São Francisco Church and Convent of Salvador - 20
Sydney Harbour Bridge - 17
Tāq Kasrā - 21
TauTona Mine - 17 (20 - 3) It would be an industrial wonder. I do not like much this kind of infrastructure as wonder.
Temple of Jupiter in Baalbek - 20
Theatre of Sabratha - 21 (20 + 1) I would like to see many theaters in the game. Some of the ancient/classical era would be very welcome.
Torre del Oro - 20
Uraniborg - 20
Willis Tower - 11
Yuanming Yuan (Old Summer Palace) - 20

Krakow Cloth Hall - 20
Lincoln Center - 20
Lotus Temple - 20
Mina El Teniente - 17
Oost-Indisch Huis - 21
Palace of Knossos - 21+1=22 - It would be a really nice addition.
São Francisco Church and Convent of Salvador - 20
Sydney Harbour Bridge - 17 - You're lucky that the Nubia and Egypt scenario offers a mechanic that could implement you to the game. Without that, I'd attack you for being impossible to be implemented to the game :P
Tāq Kasrā - 21
TauTona Mine - 17
Temple of Jupiter in Baalbek - 20
Theatre of Sabratha - 21
Torre del Oro - 20
Uraniborg - 20
Willis Tower - 11-3=8 - It's a very tall black skyscrapper. However, I think some other skyscrapper would be better.
Yuanming Yuan (Old Summer Palace) - 20
