    It is always amazing to visit sites well known from history, literature and popular culture. This was no exception. We marveled at the skill and knowledge of the architects and builders and paid tribute to the slaves who did the back-breaking work.
    A week before our visit, I booked on-line, 24 hour tickets with timed entry to Colosseum, entry to Forum Romano “at any time”. “Any time” is the time one reaches the head of the queue, regardless of having tickets or not. Entry to the colosseum early afternoon was prompt at the exact time stated on the ticket. Rick Steves audio was helpful for both
    We visited the forum before the colosseum. There is an uphill slope to the entry point for the forum/Palantine hill complex, then downhill through the remains of ancient Rome to the, now grass covered, site of the forum itself. It would be hard going in a wheel chair, one flight of steps had a lift beside it which was not operational. We didn’t attempt Palatine Hill, which is a good climb. Did not see any toilets on the way to the forum.
    Any food options I could identify on-line required a time-consuming uphill walk, so we took a picnic and ate sitting on one of the stone bollards in the Colosseum forecourt. After entering the colosseum we made use of the toilets on the ground floor and took the elevator to the first floor where we could appreciate its size and the complexity of operating the site.

    I loved touring Sagrada Familia created by Antoni Gaudi. His work is spectacular and he was truly talented. I think the tour I took through Viator was ok. A little confusing meeting the group and worried I would miss the tour or they wouldn’t show up. Tour was shorter than stated on Viator and a little pricey. It’s just so beautiful, so all in all I am happy. Definitely a must see while you are in Barcelona.

    Visiting the Eiffel Tower is an absolute bucket-list experience! The moment you see it in real life, it’s even more stunning than in pictures. The structure is massive, and the atmosphere around it is always lively with street performers, couples, and tourists soaking in the Parisian vibe. 🥖🍷

    It is beautiful, exquisite and well preserved. The dome is amazing. It is the largest unreinforced concrete one in the world. The record still stands. The floor is nicely decorated. The mosaic above the main altar is beautiful.

    Restored and beautiful. We visited fairly early in the morning & were able to enter after only a short wait. Very crowded inside but still enjoyed the beauty of the Church. We walked by in the late afternoon and the line to enter was quite long, so seems like the earlier in the day you can visit, the better.

    One of the (if not so 'the') most iconic and beautiful church I visited. Nice view on the roof and panaromaview. The inside is really impressive and make you quiet small.

    The London Eye is a great way to see the city! The ride is smooth and slow, so you have time to enjoy the view. You can see famous places like Big Ben, the River Thames, and Buckingham Palace.

    The capsules are big and have glass all around, so you can take great photos. We went in the evening, and the city lights looked beautiful! The staff was friendly, and everything was well-organized.

    If you visit London, don’t miss this! It’s a fun and easy way to see the city from above.

    At night, the fountain’s lighting made the sculptures glow beautifully, creating an atmosphere that truly took my breath away. I felt a deeper emotional connection here than anywhere else in Rome.

    Setting off at 8am for the walk to the magnificent complex was the beginning of a superlative half day. Having a Granada Card eased entry into many of the individual attractions.

    Entry through the monumental Puerta de la Justicia, having already passed via Puerta de las Granadas, was exciting.

    Entry for the Nasrid Palaces was at 9am and we were admitted some minutes before that. Exquisite indeed are the luxurious residences of the Rulers, constructed over a few centuries from 1238 onwards.

    Palacio de Carlos V is magnificent and it is home to two marvellous museums, Museo de Bellas Artes de Granada and Museo de la Alhambra.

    A fine church, Iglesia de Santa María de la Encarnación, is build essentially on the site of the former Royal Mosque. It is highly embellished and ornate.

    It was great to stroll around the imposing Alcazaba bastion. As the oldest part of the complex its role was protection, aided by its strategic placement on the westerly side of the hill.

    Though not apparently strictly deemed part of the Alhambra, seeing the Generalife was tremendous. An abiding memory of it is the ubiquity of soothing flows of water.

    Then a short stroll along a tree lined road to get the C30 bus back to the city.

    Observing Casa Batlló from the outside is a visual delight. Gaudí’s innovative design features a colorful mosaic façade, undulating lines, and balconies resembling skeletal masks. The arched roof evokes the back of a dragon, symbolizing the legend of Saint George. Even without entering, the building’s imaginative architecture captivates and inspires.

    Whilst this is the must see attraction in Athens it is worth the hype.
    It was well worth seeing but do suggest getting there as early as possible as it gets really busy, which takes something away from the visit.

    If I had one criticism there isn't enough information available to tell you more about the site. It also doesn't have much of a gift shop.

    Decided to go here last minute and it was well worth it. The Hapsburg summer residence was opulent as one would expect. We did the grand tour where we saw extra rooms. Very interesting place to go to and I guess in the summer months you could spend a good part of the day there exploring the gardens
