Luckily, it\u2019s possible to travel the world <em>and<\/em> get your adrenaline fix at the same time. We\u2019ve uncovered the ultimate jaw dropping destinations at the highest of altitudes. So, whether you\u2019re looking to teeter across a glass walkway or take on the world\u2019s highest bungee jump, we\u2019ve got you covered. It goes without saying that if you\u2019re scared of heights, it\u2019s probably best to stop reading right about now&#8230; Or, why not conquer your fear in style by taking on these jaw-dropping adventure destinations?!<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>1.\u00a0 Tianmen Mountain (Zhangjiajie, China)<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=agpjiYQcYi0&#038;t=319s\" class=\"post links\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=agpjiYQcYi0&amp;t=319s<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Whilst China is known for its culture, it\u2019s also fond of gravity-defying attractions. The latest development is a 100m glass walkway; propelled at 4600ft and spanning the cliff face of Tianmen Mountain, located in the spectacularly beautiful Zhangjiajie National Park. En route to the summit you\u2019ll enjoy amazing avatar-esque views via a cable car, but then it\u2019s down to you to take on the glass walkway &#8211; if you dare! The best time to visit Zhangjiajie (a two hour flight from Shanghai) is between September and November where temperatures are cooler and local tourists aren\u2019t as frequent. Admission to the park is priced at 250 yuan (roughly \u00a328).<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/findabed.php\/ChosenCity.Zhangjiajie\/ChosenCountry.China\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Check out hostels in Zhangjiajie<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>2. Macau Tower bungee jump (Macau)<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wpbf-responsive-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The World&#039;s Highest Bungy Jump 233m - Macau\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GP5fMQC3BYo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Often overlooked in favour of neighboring Hong Kong, Macau (a mere 55 minutes ferry ride away) is most definitely worth a stop on your China itinerary. With direct flights available from Beijing and Shanghai, many flock for its glitzy casinos, but you thrill-seekers will prefer the Macau Tower: home to the world\u2019s highest bungee jump!<\/p>\n<p>At 4222 MOP (\u00a3400) the 233m jump is fairly pricey, but adrenaline junkies will argue that ticking off the world\u2019s highest bungee jump is well worth it! The price for the Guiness World Record attraction includes admission to the tower, a t-shirt and a certificate. The best time to visit is between October and December. Whilst much of China gets chillier during this time, Macau still maintains a mild, pleasant climate.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/findabed.php\/ChosenCity.Macau\/ChosenCountry.Macau\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Check out hostels in Macau<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>3.

It\u2019s the longest suspension bridge in Russia and if the Macau Tower got you in the mood for jumping, don\u2019t worry, you can also bungee jump of this too! Skybridge is located in Sochi, an accessible part of Russia with its own airport for both domestic and international flights (many fly from Moscow or St Petersburg). Sochi is warmest during the Summer months and April &#8211; July is an ideal time to visit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/findabed.php\/ChosenCity.Sochi\/ChosenCountry.Russia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Check out hostels in Sochi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>4.

You\u2019ll be playing \u2018spot the landmarks\u2019 with views of the Hollywood sign and Santa Monica Pier etc. all visible from this top vantage point. Looking for something more adventurous? Well why not hop on the \u2018Skyslide!\u2019 Yes, it\u2019s as fun as it sounds! A 45ft long glass slide affixed to the outside of the building which whizzes you between the 70<sup>th<\/sup> and 69<sup>th<\/sup> floor. Admission for the observation tower is \u00a317 or \u00a323 for the tower and slide combo. Personally, weeeeeeee (get it?!) believe between March and May is a great time to visit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hostels\/Los-Angeles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Check out hostels in LA<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>5.

Along with an observation deck, the building now offers a glass floor; extending off the edge of the building for visitors to walk across, lie on and look down from to the spectacular urban skyline below. What\u2019s more, the rooftop bar comes in very handy for some Dutch courage. We recommend visiting between November and February to avoid monsoon season. Entry price for the deck and skywalk is THB 1050\/ \u00a325.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hostels\/Bangkok\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Check out hostels in Bangkok<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>\u00a06.\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Arcelor Mittal Orbit (London, England)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"wpbf-responsive-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"World&#039;s Tallest &amp; Longest Slide - London | Hostelworld\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DSY0fa1teBY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Brits don\u2019t always need to leave the country to get their adrenaline fix. In April this year, the UK\u2019s highest freefall abseil launched at Olympic Park\u2019s iconic sculpture (at a cost of \u00a385 a ticket). With unbelievable views of London\u2019s skyline, you can choose to either abseil or slide down Arcelor Mittal Orbit (at a more budget-friendly \u00a316.50 a ticket). And not only is this the UK\u2019s biggest sculpture but the slide itself is the world\u2019s longest tunnel slide. The orbit is easily accessible by central and jubilee line (With the nearest station being Stratford) and is open all year round (although we recommend the summer months).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hostels\/London\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Check the hostels in London<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>7.

Thrill-seekers are treated to an outdoor glass walkway that\u2019s completely handrail free. Yep, you read that right! Visitors are instead harnessed to a railing, leaving them to freely walk along or take a pew on the walkway and look down. At 388 yuan (around \u00a344) it\u2019s not cheap but it\u2019s certainly bucket-list worthy. Avoid February and the summer months (the busiest travel time for locals) and take a trip in autumn instead.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hostels\/Shanghai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Check out hostels in Shanghia<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>8.

After being closed due to a series of deaths in 2000, a newly renovated version opened in 2015 with added safety precautions. You\u2019ll still need to be a fan of heights to take this challenge on, but you\u2019ll be rewarded with incredible views of stunning scenery. Whilst it\u2019s only 10 euros to visit, it\u2019s vital to book in advance (as only 600 visitors are allowed per day).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hostels\/Malaga\/Spain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Check out hostels in Malaga<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>9.

There\u2019s something for everyone once you\u2019ve arrived at Grand Canyon West (admission is $50) from its dizzying skywalk at heights of 2000ft (an additional $20), to its 2100ft zipline ride above majestic cliffs (an additional $50) and helicopter tours (which start from $145). We recommended avoiding the sweltering summer months and visiting in either March, May or September.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hostels\/region\/Grand-Canyon\/USA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Check out hostels near The Grand Canyon<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>10.
