At the other end of the scale, an apartment-sized property within reach of Cairo’s Pyramids of Giza would set you back just £27,431, while the Taj Mahal in Agra, India and Rio’s Christ the Redeemer also present some far more affordable options.
“The global property market is wonderfully diverse and allows many investors to build a wide portfolio based on their personal criteria and requirements,” said Astons managing director Arthur Sarkisian. “Of course, investing in the global go-to destinations of Paris, New York and London will come at a considerably higher cost, but even these premier locations will offer a range of investment opportunities at varying price points.”
Here’s how the landmarks rank in terms of apartment-sized property values in surrounding areas.
