Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus by Els Slots

Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus

It's great to see this wonderful old building added to the list. To me, it is the symbol of Bombay.

I just wish they'd get rid of the overly politically …

Ancient Kyoto by Rob Wilson

Ancient Kyoto (Inscribed)

Ancient Kyoto

I have spent a great deal of time in Kyoto and it never ceases to break my heart.

The city itself is an utter monstrosity, a nightmare mess of urban …

Ancient Nara by Rob Wilson

Ancient Nara (Inscribed)

Ancient Nara

Despite the touristy nature of virtually all of Japan's ancient sites, Nara is one place where you can get some idea of what Japan used to be like before everything …

Qutb Minar by Rob Wilson

Qutb Minar (Inscribed)

Qutb Minar

The Qutb Minar complex is an incredible self-proclamation of Islams arrival in India. When you consider the age of the Minar itself it makes it all the more impressive.

The …

Fatehpur Sikri by Rob Wilson

Fatehpur Sikri (Inscribed)

Fatehpur Sikri

An outstanding memorial to Akbar's arrogance!

I would highly recommend a visit to Fatepur Sikri, but please be aware that it is a tourist trap of the highest order. There …

I would also recommend visiting the Fasting Palace section of the …

Summer Palace

Prague

Telc by Rob Wilson

Telc (Inscribed)

Telc

Telc is a wonderful place to spend a day or so. It isn't a large site - really nothing more than a town square, but that square is well worth …

Imperial Palace by Nan

Imperial Palace (Inscribed)

Imperial Palace

The Forbidden City is possibly the most packed tourist attraction I've ever visited. Thankfully, it is still well worth the visit.

The sheer scale and opulence of the place it …

Humayun's Tomb by Rob Wilson

Humayun's Tomb (Inscribed)

Humayun's Tomb

I have visited the tomb twice. Once in 2002 when it was a fairly horrific state of repair. I returned last summer and am pleased to say that the ASI …

Great Wall by Els Slots

Great Wall (Inscribed)

Great Wall

My friends and I walked from Jingshanling to Simatai. It was 10km of hard slog, in a 40 degree heat! But, it was worth every step. This part of the …
