Which wonders have you been to?

[borad]

Since I don’t think we’ve done this question since CIV VI…

I have a pretty long list, but it’s still just a fraction of the possible. The lists below are broadly geographically-grouped.

Newly via CIV VII:

• Grand Canyon
• Palacio de Bellas Artes
• Pyramid of the Sun
• Mundo Perdido
• 
  
• Doi Suthep
• 
  
• White Tower
• 
  
• World’s Fair (many people should be able to tick this; I qualified by, at least, the few-kilometres-away Royal Melbourne Exhibition Building, the first World-Heritage-listed Australian building)

In CIV VII and previous versions:

• Statue of Liberty
• Machu Picchu
• 
  
• Eiffel Tower
• Notre Dame
• Brandenburg Gate
• Colosseum
• Oracle (Delphi)
• 
  
• Petra
• Pyramids
• 
  
• Red Fort
• Taj Mahal
• 
  
• Terracotta Army
• Forbidden City / Palace
• 
  
• Angkor Wat
• 
  
• Great Barrier Reef
• Uluru

In previous CIVs only:

• Stonehenge
• (Isaac) Newton’s College (i.e. Cambridge)
• Big Ben
• Cliffs of Dover
• Versailles
• Neuschwanstein (well, to the lake area below; didn’t have the time to go up!)
• Apostolic Palace
• Michelangelo’s/Sistine Chapel
• Venetian Arsenal
• Statue of Zeus
• Mt Olympus (to the top)
• 
  
• Hagia Sophia
• Temple of Artemis (all one sad pillar left)
• Pamukkale
• Cappadocia
• Dead Sea
• Great Lighthouse and Great Library (look, there’s Lighthouse stone re-used in the fort, and I went to the new Library and might have walked over wherever the old one was)
• 
  
• Wall Street
• Broadway
• United Nations
• Old Faithful
• Mt Rushmore
• Hoover Dam
• Huey Teocalli
• Chichen Itza
• Belize Barrier Reef
• 
  
• Great Wall
• Three Gorges Dam
• Ha Long Bay
• Space Elevator (Arthur C Clarke visualised it as in Sri Lanka, even though it isn’t quite on the Equator, and I’ll claim this impossible one via that)
• 
  
• Sydney Opera House
• 
  
• Cure for Cancer (‘cause I beat a honking big melanoma)
• The Internet (e.g. this post)

There are stacks of not-quites as well (e.g. various ones in Xi’an, China, which you can see I’ve visited via the Terracotta Army inclusion above).

 

[Disgustipated]

From what you have listed, I've been to the Grand Canyon, Bermuda Triangle, Redwood Forest, and I think that's all.

As for World wonders I have been to Colosseum, Colossus (or the town where it once stood), and I think that's it. I've been close to where Hale O Keawe is, but I didn't visit the historical park.

I should note I'm only including civ 7 wonders. I don't want to look up the other games.

 

[99-percent-sure]

Hmm. Good one. Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, United Nations, Broadway, Wall Street, Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building and CN Tower (both there via Civ VI mods), Venetian Arsenal (I think), Sistine Chapel, Colosseum, Apostolic Palace (well, outside).

EDIT: Oh, yeah, Hollywood is in Civ IV! Been there for sure. And the Golden Gate Bridge too. Nice catch, untitledjuan.

[protocol7]

This would have been cool as a poll

 

[Paideia]

Of the Civ VII wonders and natural wonders, I have been to:

Colosseum
White Tower
Battersea Power Station
Gullfoss

Wow... that's sort of unimpressive..

 

[Uberfrog]

Restricting myself to Civ 7, I have seen the following in real life:-

The Colosseum
Notre Dame
The White Tower
Battersea Power Station
Brandenburger Tor
Tour Eiffel
Oxford University
The Statue of Liberty

I have seen the remnants of many a world’s fair, including the ruins of the relocated Crystal Palace (London 1851), the Eiffel Tower (Paris 1889), the Museum of Science and Industry (Chicago 1893), and the Atomium (Brussels 1958).

As far as natural wonders go, it’s just the Great Barrier Reef and Fuji-san (and that very briefly from a plane window as it was shrouded in cloud for the rest of my trip!).

 

[Daigotsu Max]

Sticking to Civ 7 as well for simplicity:

Colosseum
Pyramids
Rila Monastery
Oxford University
Red Fort (pass by only)
Statue of Liberty
Taj Mahal

Natural wonders:

Gullfoss
Mount Fuji (from a distance)

Not a bad list! Kinda proud I've got Rila Monastery on my list, pure coincidence as I went there last month before it was confirmed.

This was a fun chance to reminisce on past travels and civs, My most recent civ wonder I have visited is the Louvre and currently have no confirmed plans to visit other wonders for now. Too many things to see and learn about in the world and not enough time or money to do them all... wonder what the most visited wonder will be.

Civ 7
Angkor Wat
Mausoleum of Theodoric (Ravenna is a wonderfully underrated city if anyone gets the chance, the Byzantine mosaics are a real wonder there)
Mundo Perdido
Pyramid of the Sun
Forbidden City
Notre Dame
Battersea Power Station
Boudhanath
Bradenburg Gate
Dogo Onsen (Matsuyama is another really underrated city off the main tourist trail in Japan)
Eiffel Tower
Oxford University
Palacio de Bellas Artes
White Tower
Grand Canyon
Macchapuchhare
Fuji

Civ 6
Big Ben
Chichen Itza
Golden Gate Bridge
Hagia Sophia
Huey Teocalli (it's ruins)
