【推荐2】The best way to see the world's architectural wonders is to visit them in person, so grab your passport and book a trip to one of these amazing destinations.
Monaco
If you are looking for a more traditional type of design that speaks to the opulence（繁荣）of bygone ages, Monaco is definitely worth adding to your list. Monte Carlo is undoubtedly the best place to visit if you want to sunbathe in the beauty of the coastline while also seeing some of the most fabulous hotels that Europe has to offer.
Singapore
Compared with Monte Carlo, the architecture of Singapore is cutting edge and futuristic, to the point that visitors may feel like they have stepped onto the set of a science fiction film rather than living, breathing city. The Gardens by the Bay is the most visually striking creations that it has to offer, consisting of expansive parkland dotted with wonderful structures, including the world's largest greenhouse.
Barcelona
Every year millions of people flood into this lively Spanish city to see some of the unique works of famed architect Antoni Gaudi. There are plenty of Gaudi buildings, including the Casa Battlo, Park Guell and the Colegio Teresiano de Barcelona, but the Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia is the most popular of these and is still being built, in spite of the fact that work began all the way back in 1882.
Hanoi
The Vietnamese city of Hanoi is a place bursting with color and life, as well as a surprising variety of architectural styles to enjoy. As well as being able to see traditional designs and building techniques on display, it is also the ideal destination to catch sight of some amazing French Colonial structures, such as the main Opera House and the Presidential Palace.
