Default QuickQuestion - Any native speaker here?

Hello folks,

I have a quick question regarding an english sentence, I'm not sure if you can say that in english and if it's correct grammar:

"One of the World’s Most Beautiful Places to be"

Is that ok?

Or is it "One of the World’s Most Beautiful Place to be" - sorry, I'm not a native speaker und quite confused now...

Thx,
-Tom

"One of the Worlds most beautiful places to be." Would be correct if used in a paragraph.

"One of the Worlds Most Beautiful Places to be." Would also be correct if used in a title.

Thanks

Yes, it's used as a title.

Are you sure about "worlds" instead of "world's"? Just curious

thx,

Should be "world's" as it is possessive.
