If you’re fond of travelling, it is highly likely that you are also fond of bringing back memories of your expeditions. What better way than to purchase a souvenir that can be the smallest of objects but speaks volumes about your experience there. From China to France, we’ve composed a list of the top ten places where you can get the world’s most popular souvenirs to show off to your friends.
1. Egypt
Who doesn’t love the pyramids? In this hot African city, you can get statuettes of Pharaohs and pyramids. Some are emblazoned with the word ‘Egypt’, in case people don’t know where Pharaohs and pyramids originated from.
2. France
If you have been to Paris but haven’t visited the Eiffel Tower, then at least get a mini replica of the structure to make up for it! These are available all over the country.
3. Japan
What an amalgam of culture and technology Japan is! The souvenirs you can purchase here range from anime figurines to tiny sumo wrestlers. Choose wisely! Remember, it can be clothes or other items as well.
4. China
Now that we’re in the Asian continent, China should be mentioned. When one hears that you’ve been to China, they almost always inquire whether you visited the Great Wall of China. We suggest buying a travel-size version.
5. England
The British are very proud of their giant red double-decker buses, so why not go for a small bus that can be fitted in your pocket? Of course, you could also opt for a Big Ben replica, or a key chain with the UK’s flag on it.
6. Russia
Ever heard of that large doll that contains a smaller doll, that contains an even smaller doll, that is home to the smallest doll yet? These are known as the Matryoshka dolls, and if your travels happen to take you to Russia, they’re the souvenirs that sell like hot cakes.
7. Hawaii
A beautiful and colorful country, the options don’t end for a place like Hawaii. We suggest a tiny hula dancer, or maybe a surfboard or guitar decorated with flowers. Aloha indeed!
8. Australia
The land of the strangest creatures (kangaroos to platypuses); when it comes to Australia, prepare to pack your bags to the brim with souvenirs!
9. Denmark
When one hears of Danish specialties, the butter cookies come to mind. However, the city of Copenhagen is famous for being home to Hans Andersen’s Little Mermaid story. Why not possess a small mermaid figurine?
10. Romania
Birthplace of Count Dracula (Vlad the Impaler), Romania has shops overflowing with figures of the mythical vampire. That would be a vision to carry with you around the world!
We hope you’ve enjoyed this list, and also remember to pick out some of the aforementioned articles as a reminder of the fabulous times you had!
