9. Venice

Many have always dreamt of taking a boat ride around Venice with that special someone in their lives, and if this destination is on your travel bucket list, you may want to grab the one you love and organize a trip there and fast. Also known as the “Floating City,” Venice has been slowly sinking for some time now; Add this with the fact that the ocean continues to rise, and the city could be underwater five time faster than most anticipated.

The combination of Venice sinking and the water rising means that the city is dropping approximately 2mm annually and it’s also dealing with floods at a record number. The only silver lining is that scientists are trying desperately to figure out ways to stop the city from sinking; however, if they can’t come up with something soon, the “Floating City” could become the “Underwater City.”
