Best time to go: Late spring and early summer in this part of India has often severe heat. Then come monsoons. November to February is your best chance for pleasant weather. The sunrises here are highly admired. The Great Wall The Great Wall of China is the world's longest wall and one of the most famous landmarks in China. Dating back to about 700 BCE, it stretches over 13, 000 miles and was designed to protect the country from invaders. Best time to go: Plan for a spring or fall trip when the weather is nicer and fewer people visit. Summertime is often hot and crowded, and winter can be extremely cold in northern China.

Best time to go: Summer can get very hot in Jordan, and winter is much colder than you may realize. Weatherwise, aim for spring or fall. The Colosseum The Colosseum remains Rome's top attraction.

Best time to go: You'll find fewer tourists there during Rome's low season(winter), weekdays and during the opening hour or near closing time.
