When you’re travelling it’s important to keep expectations realistic, as anyone who’s visited these attractions that look different in person would agree.

1. Leaning Tower of Pisa

2. Central Park

3. Taj Mahal

4. Colosseum

5. Christ the Redeemer

6. Pyramids of Giza

7. Mona Lisa

Isn’t it always the way, where the right camera angle can make a certain landmark seem incredible from one angle, and decidedly lacklustre from another!

Do you agree with the images in the gallery above? Have you visited any of these incredible landmarks and did you feel disappointed?
