There are many famous landmarks around the world that attract millions of people year after year, but did you know that some of them have nearly identical twins that you can visit and enjoy without thousands of people there with you at the same time? Here are our favorite ones.

Notre-Dame De Paris and Amiens Cathedral

You know about the Notre Dame, but do you know there’s another gothic cathedral in France that looks virtually the same? Amiens Cathedral is located in the north, in the city of Amiens, and a few people know about it.

Colosseum and Pula Arena

The Colosseum is magnificent, but Pula Arena may wow you even more. The best-preserved ancient monument in Croatia is still used as a performance venue. It can welcome up to 20,000 visitors, and it’s basically the twin brother of Rome’s Colosseum.

Saint Basil’s Cathedral and Church Of The Savior On Blood

Saint Basil’s Cathedral located on Moscow’s Red Square is a beautiful church that people travel to see, but there’s a very similar one in St. Petersburg called Church Of The Savior On Blood. The latter will probably have fewer people in front of it, but you go visit whichever you want.

🇷🇺 From the moment I got there I felt in LOVE with this city. 😍😍😍 The beauty of people, architecture and museums are just so insane! 😳 This picture of the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood, ( I know the name is pretty harsh and scary for such a beautiful architecture) and the reflection on the water is just so majestic💙💜 Not only the colorfulness from the outside, inside is quite filled with ravishing colors as well. 📝 Despite the terrifying name, it was built to honor an emperor, Alexander II as a memorial. He was known as a liberator and made so many great changes for the country. Though, he got killed by a terrorist with a grenade at this exact spot. 💣🩸 I will never forget the shock of walking on the street and seeing this for the first time. No wonder it is part of UNESCO heritage along with the whole historic area of Saint Petersburg. 🔖 My time there was definitely not enough and I have been wanting to go back again one day. Especially for the white nights, when the sun never fully sets and the sky remains bright throughout the night with some sunset kind of lights! How crazy is that? 🤍🤍🤍 Hoping to find a way to go back there next year! Have you been to Russia? Which city was your favorite? . . . #russia #saintpetersburg #UNESCO #historiccenter #churchofthesavioronblood #waterreflection #whitenight #onedayiwill #makeit #heartfortravel #♥️
