Some attractions draw in millions of tourists every year and, while we get their appeal, we have to wonder if being at the same place with all those people is truly worth a trip. Luckily, some of the most famous landmarks in the world have nearly identical twins that you can enjoy without any crowds and get a much better look.
Colosseum and Pula Arena
The Pula Arena is basically the Colosseum’s Croatian twin brother. It’s the best-preserved ancient monument in the country and, what’s even more impressive, it’s still used as a venue for performances with up to 20,000 visitors.
Notre-Dame De Paris and Amiens Cathedral
These two gothic cathedrals are both located in France, but guess which one is more popular? Notre-Dame is one of the most visited landmarks thanks to Victor Hugo who wrote a novel about it, but the other one is just as stunning.
Saint Basil’s Cathedral and Church Of The Savior On Blood
There’s a church in Saint Petersburg that looks incredibly similar to the famous Moscow landmark, Saint Basil’s Cathedral, but most people still want to visit the latter and see the Red Square in person. Do the opposite if you want to get the best view.
