Known as the "Hippodrome of Constantinople" this square was the site of many a horse race and at one point could accommodate 100,000 spectators in its seating areas.

Beautiful.

Amazing. Inspiring. And also a little sad, because it's not in the best shape. But then again, it looks much better than I would at 1500 years old.

Most mystical and mind-blowing monument in Istanbul. Must see.

Beautiful architecture.

Royal Castle

This one I really liked. My suggestion is though, that you visit Krakow first (Wawel), and then go to Zamek Krolewski. It follows the kings chronologically, and is really interesting this way.

Also check out the old town square - it's got really nice architecture. There's a market there too.

Go in the winter on snowmobiles. Temperature 40 degrees belown and absolutely break taking. Summer is nice also but not quite the picturesque palette

stunningly gorgeous. depending on when you go the waterfalls off the mountains are quite different. the best time to go is in spring when the snow is just melting. by the end of summer it's like a low flow shower head.

Yipeeeeee.

Walk across and up and across some more.

Great museum. Eat lunch in the cafe.

On my to do list for the next time I'm in London.

1982 - Halls Mirrors and enormous garden...too many tourists then!

Definitely a must see. It is so magnificent. The hall of mirrors is amazing and the gardens are of course, so beautiful.

close are also goldfish and flower themed streets

You want to get stuck here!!!

This buddha is pretty impressive, and you can go to this island by taking a boat from Hong Kong. Once you have reach the top of the island (by walking) you can take a gondola lift to go down and you will be able to see the new airport from the sky (pretty cool :)

been there done that...would go again in a heartbeat...favorite place ;-)

Got to Walk over the bridge

I miss California!

SF is lovely in June <3

I want to go

One of the most iconic markets in the country. I could spend a month here. Be sure to check out Mee Sum Pastry, Gourmet Dog Japon and the Oriental Mart Grocery and Kitchenette.

Beecher's cheese shop next to the first Starbucks is a must! It's right along the market.

First time in Seattle? You gotta see the flying fish!

Been on top of the Space Needle, don't look down!

Campanille, St. Mark's Basillica, Doge's Palace, Bridge of Sighs, dueling orchestras, sunset, ridiculously expensive champagne or cafe AND cover charge for sitting.

The Grand Canyon was one of my most memorable trips.

Even more spectacular than seeing the Grand Canyon is visiting the Grand Canyon in the winter with a light snowfall.

About 4 miles long, the strip has some of the largest hotel, resorts and casinos in the world.

A must go before getting in a relashioship!

Make sure to walk over to the Ile-St. Louis which is connected to the island where Notre Dame is by a footbridge. Less tourists, better place to grab a bite or ice cream (see Berthillon) and a cool neighborhood.

Go in mid-morning and walk along the Seine, maybe ride a boat, and climb Notre Dame to say hi to gargoyles.

Heard so much about this place--must make a point of going!

Sugar freaks, chocoholics, pie fiends take note: You will feel like you've died and gone to heaven. From compost cookies to croissants, ice cream to coffee, once you go, you'll be a Milk Bar evangelist.

Order the Captain Crunch flavored ice cream. It's to die for. Highly rated on Foodspotting.com too.

I've had many a sandwich from here!

AH! I miss smelling them!
