This is a very open question, so here's a few of the impressive buildings I've seen and enjoyed:

The Taj Mahal
The Temple of Ramses at Abu Simbel
The Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur
Riveaulx Abbey in Yorkshire
The Royal Crescent and Circus in Bath
Centrepoint Tower in Sydney
Corfe Castle in Dorset, UK
The Red Fort at Agra
The Royal Palace, Bangkok
The Eiffel Tower
York Minster

Any one of these is brilliant, and all for different reasons really. If I were forced to pick a favourite though it's gotta be the Taj Mahal. The world's most impressive tomb. Make sure you read the story of Shah Jihan and the plans for the black Taj while you're there.

The Clifton Suspension Bridge, spanning the beautiful Avon Gorge, is the symbol of the city of Bristol. For almost 150 years this Grade I listed structure has attracted visitors from all over the world. Its story began in 1754 with the dream of a Bristol wine merchant who left a legacy to build a bridge over the Gorge.

Unlike many modern universities, there is no recognisable university campus; instead, the university is an organisation with separate institutions called colleges which work together to educate all their members. Each college is built round its own quadrangle. Most of the fine buildings to be seen in Oxford belong to these colleges. In addition to the colleges, there are world renowned institutions such as the Ashmolean Museum and the Bodleian Library, both of which can be visited. Although Oxford was a Royalist stronghold during the Civil War in the 17th century, the ultimately victorious Oliver Cromwell did not subject it to one of his infamous demolition jobs. As a result, it is possible to trace the development of the university through its buildings.

newgrange monument in meath ireland, oldest building on the planet. it was the burial mound of kings that existed 2000 years before christ was born. around the site are other burial mounds that pre-date christianity all within 500 yards of the main building. at the winter solstice just as the sun rises a shaft of light is directed into the main tomb onto a carved stone slab through a small opening just above the entrance. i have never witnessed this, only the reconstruction using a high powered lamp. newgrange for me is the most wonderful building in the world, to stand where my ancestors have stood almost 5000 years before i was born. amazing.

Try THE MEGALITHIC EUROPEAN ISBN 0 00.713802 4 .
These are amazing structures though I don't think they are nearly as impressive as the South American famous sites.
