There are some amazing places in the world that unfortunately won’t be here forever, so if you want to see them in person, you should hurry up.

Venice, Italy

The medieval city is known for its canals and cobbled alleys, but it’s unfortunately sinking year after year, and if you want to visit it, you better hurry. The city is only a 3.3-foot rise in sea levels away from being underwater. It’s scary to even think about it.

The Maldives, South Asia

The Maldives is considered a paradise on Earth, but the islands are under a big threat from sinking. The ocean levels are constantly rising, and we can’t help but wonder how long will the Maldives stand up to nature.

Taj Mahal, India

The majestic mausoleum is one of the most iconic structures in the world, and over four million people come to see it every year. Erosion and air pollution are real threats that could make it sink toward the Yamuna River at one point. There are even plans to close the Taj Mahal to the public in order to slow down this process.

TWIRLING IN FRONT OF THE TAJ MAHAL? 🕌 A DREAM CAME TRUE! • 10 years ago we wouldn’t ever think that one day we would have the chance to see this place with our own eyes. We dreamed about it for a long time and just after one glance it gave us an incredible feeling, other-worldy! It is even more beautiful in reality than in picture, WOW! ✨ • The Taj Mahal, as lots of you already know, is one of the 7 wonders of the world and we can assure you, it deserves all the queue you will have to do and the rush to arrive first in order to take the best shot ever! Even 400 years after its construction, this white-marble masterpiece represents one of the most incredible architectures ever existed! 🙏🏽 • Have you already visited one of the 7 wonders? If yes, which is your favorite? • Travel tips 🧭: -you will encounter a similar and first gate while walking to the Taj Mahal but we suggest you to skip it because it becomes easily crowded. Go ahead and reach the mausoleum. On both, right and left side, you will find 2 mosque with this archway where you can take a shot like this one 📸 -be aware: tripods are not allowed, for this shot we asked (for the first time ever) the help of a guy 🤳 -perfect time to visit: as early as possible in the morning (opening hours 6AM-6.30PM except Friday that is only open for muslim) or late in the day just before sunset time ⏰ -ticket prices: for foreign nationals the entrance fee correspond to 1050 INR (~14.80$) no charged for children below 15 years 🎫
