A5: My mate and I were pretty fortunate enough to get Machu Picchu all to ourselves when we visited a few years ago - a very surreal experience with just a bunch of llamas and chinchillas hanging around #lpchat

replying to @lonelyplanet @lonelyplanet A5: I climbed the 533 steps to the top of Cologne’s ancient gothic cathedral this year. Amazing views and a real sense of history #lpchat #Koeln

replying to @lonelyplanet @lonelyplanet There is an entire ancient "lost" continent under the Indian Ocean Island of #Mauritius. It was only discovered last year so it's still untouched. #lpchat

A5: We experienced Shinto Shrine and Tori gate beauty overload in #Japan - whether in #Tokyo, #Kyoto, or Ishigaki they were all so intricate and stunning! I visited many at sunrise to experience the spirituality in quite moments ⛩🏯✨ #lpchat

A5: Ephesus in #Turkey is also an incredible ancient site. The towering Library of Celsus, Harbour Street and the amphitheatre are apt reminders that Ephesus was the fourth largest city in Roman Asia Minor after Rome, Alexandria and Antioch. #BestinTravel #lpchat

replying to @WanderlustChloe @WanderlustChloe @lonelyplanet A4 recently went to Matera. Not so ‘secret’ to some perhaps but I didn’t know about it. It’s a double answer as it’s also the film location for the Passion of Christ movie! #lpchat

So many sights to see in #Sardinia this summer, not to mention the incredible food. This lobster pasta, matched with the Birra Atrigianale Bianca del Senatore, was #exquisite #lpchat

A5 - Sunrise in #Bagan was just the most special moment of ancient architecture I've ever had. #lpchat

A5: I think Tikal in Guatemala has got to be up there as one of the most spectacular ancient sites in the world. I felt like such an explorer when I was there! #LPChat

replying to @lonelyplanet @lonelyplanet Last month I visited the ancient village of Počitelj in Bosnia and Herzegovina on a day trip from Mostar. Health and safety doesn't exist here, we clambered to the top of a crumbling tower for this amazing view. #lpchat

A5: Our favourite ancient site would have to be the Taj Mahal in India 💛 It was absolutely stunning and we loved finding out more about the history from our guide #lpchat

A5: Oh, one ancient site that was *less* amazing: the Temple of Artemis in #Turkey. It has been rebuilt three times and was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Sadly, today, only foundations and fragments of the last temple remain. #BestinTravel #lpchat

replying to @lonelyplanet @lonelyplanet A2 As others have mentioned- #Italy is my food destination! The colors, smells, and sounds of cooking food at the Mercato Centrale in Florence are intoxicating! #lpchat
