Photo by marada via Flickr. The argument against movies while traveling makes perfect sense. You came to a certain destination to experience its scene, so why would you want to waste precious vacation time inside, watching the latest Hollywood blockbuster fighting space aliens?

If you’re starting to have major FOMO (that’s fear of missing out) while scrolling through your friends’ vacation posts right about now, chin up. While you might not be able to marvel over the Colosseum in Rome, snap pics at the Taj Mahal, or reflect at a temple in Japan, there are plenty of culturally…

These iconic spots can be famous for a variety of reasons: they are super luxe or popular among the stars, they figure prominently in films or were the sites of important historic events…the possibilities are numerous, and once…
