The 100 Modern Wonders of the World were compiled by Howard Hillman of Travel Today Magazine in 1988. We all know about the seven wonders of the ancient world...
- The Colossus Of Rhodes
- The Hanging Gardens Of Babylon
- The Mausoleum Of Halicarnassus
- The Pharos Of Alexandria
- The Pyramid Of Khufu
- The Statue Of Zeus At Olympia
- The Temple Of Artemis At Ephesus
But travelers need a list relavant to what exists today. Certain critera was set. For instance, individual works of art are not listed, and when a city has several travel wonders (for example, Paris) the city was listed alone. An asterisk indicates a wonder is not confined to one country.
