Seeing the Northern Lights, visiting the Eiffel Tower and taking a trip to Loch Ness. These are just some of the top things people around the UK have on their bucket lists. A poll of 2,000 Britons has just revealed the places people would love to go at least once in their lifetime.
While Scotland makes it into the top 50 twice, with both the home of Nessie and Edinburgh's Arthur Seat making the hotlist, it seems Italy is everyone's preferred destination with three of the top five bucket list destinations on the list being found there, including Pompeii, Lake Como and the Colosseum.
Destinations such as Iceland’s Blue Lagoon, Germany’s Black Forest and the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland were also high on the list, reports Herts Live. Three in 10 adults (29 per cent) currently have a bucket list of sites and places they want to visit, which they predict will typically take 11 years to complete.

Commissioned by ALL – Accor Live Limitless - Accor’s lifestyle loyalty program, the research showed that people around the UK would love to see the Northern Lights the most (meaning Scotland technically make it to the top as we are one of the best places around to see them).
Castles are the number one landmark people are most interested in seeing when they travel (another Scottish speciality), followed by wild nature, and bodies of water – again Scotland has it all.
Travellers want to do more than just see a place, they want to be part of the destination and dream of experiences including travelling on the Orient Express, sledging with huskies in
