Empire State Building, New York City, New York
If you're looking for spectacular views of New York City, user pmmeamuffin recommends heading to the Top of the Rock instead, where you'll get better views (including ones of the building itself), cheaper tickets, and a shorter wait time to get to the top.
"Pro tip: getting a cocktail at the Rainbow Room bar at 30 Rock is cheaper than paying the admission fee and you get the same view," wrote im_coolest.
The Louvre, Paris, France
The Louvre is a go-to museum for many because of "The Mona Lisa," but user blissed_and_gone notes that it's not the most interesting thing to see in the Louvre and that some of the lesser-known sections like the collection of Middle Eastern artifacts are a must-see.
Also check out the impressive "Jupiter Hurling Thunderbolts at the Vices" by Paolo Veronese, which sits beside "The Mona Lisa."
Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida
According to user Invader_Zirk, the best time to visit Walt Disney World is in October. Thanks to schools having a fall break previously, the parks are emptier than normal with most children back at school.
There's also a Halloween party that takes place in the Magic Kingdom, a food and wine event at Epcot, and the weather is cooler.
Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, Cambodia
Angkor Wat is stunning but because the complex is so large, user harrythepineapple recommends getting a multi day pass.
"Mix up the popular temples (which will be insanely crowded) with the further temples," harrythepineapple wrote.
The user also recommends avoiding taking pictures of monks or locals without their permission as it can be offensive.
Colosseum, Rome, Italy
The Vatican and Colusseum are both stunning but their lines can get immensely long.
To avoid having to deal with this hassle, book a ticket online before you go.
"It costs less and allows you to skip the lines, which are absolutely huge during peak season," Ftumsh wrote.

The Shard, London, England
At over 1,000 feet high, the skyscraper is the tallest building in the United Kingdom and offers panoramic views.
Instead of going through the attraction's main entrance where it can cost almost $50 to go to the top, user VisceralBlade recommends going around the side to the restaurant entrance and grabbing a glass of beer.
"You'll get a great view two-thirds of the way up and save $20 each," VisceralBlade wrote.
The monuments at Washington, DC

The Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, California
User BrainBurrito recommends that tourists bring warm clothing when visiting the Golden Gate Bridge as it can be one of the coldest places in the city with intense winds. Even though the weather can seem sunny, it can be deceiving.

"Seriously free cheese tasting, do it," Aerovaast wrote.
