May 12, 2009 - PRLog -- THE 7 URBAN WONDERS OF THE WORLD

New York's Central Park, Paris' Champs Elysees, and Warsaw's Old Town don't seem to have anything in common, but they are all extraordinary examples of man-made creations that have stood the test of time and stand as models for similar works around the world.  From ancient to modern times, man has stopped to admire what is truly wonderful around him, and now the UCityGuides.com website is giving travelers a chance to select what they find truly wonderful in the urban world.  The travel website has been highlighting the best of the world's top cultural cities, and is now allowing everyone to contribute.  So visitors to UCityGuides.com will be able to vote on whether a monument that served as a catalyst for urban renewal or the world's most magical and spectacular open square is the most extraordinary urban wonder of all.  They can choose only one, and the seven most voted wonders until July will be declared the 7 Urban Wonders of the World on UCityGuides.com.
