By Colette Bennett // 4 March, 2008

Even if you haven't yet been able to travel as your wildest dreams may desire, put these locations on your list of places to see in life. I hope you enjoy the pictures in our color-centric version of the series, and we regret it can't contain every one of the world's gorgeous locations. If you want even more, Read the book of 1,000 Places to See Before You Die or visit the Flickr 1,000 Places Group.

great pictures for sure - kind of misleading title though, these places don't actually look like that

Wonderful! I hope to travel to all of these places also. But I don’t know for sure manekineko that all the places depicted in Australia truly do look like what you see, absolutely beautiful! I Love AUS!

I visited Quebec in 1988 and I have photos that I took in Notre-Dame. None of them look as colorful as the photo here.

Fabulous but I agree with manekineko, Ayres Rock or Uluru is NOT that vibrant. Also out of all the places people have told me to go in Singapore, none have even mentioned the Cathedral. On the other hand, the cathedral in Moscow and snowy Switzerland look fabulous! Defiantly going there!
