The Grand Place, Brussels
Europe - Brussels
The Grand Place is the focal point of the entire city, the most important tourist destination and most memorable landmark in Brussels. Flanked by squeezed-up rows of former guildhouses, this was the economic heart of the city for many centuries. It was the location for markets and fairs, for the proclamation of decrees, and even public executions. It still bustles with life till today!
Amalienborg Palace
Copenhagen- Europe
The Amalienborg Palace,actually four palaces, is a must-see for anyone with an interest in European royalty or simply enjoys looking at them. The complex contain the official residence of the Danish royal family, although the main courtyard in the centre is open to the public and is one of the most popular places in the city for visitors.

The Sagrada Familia will either cause you to stand in awe or hate its unique design . But you will definitely react strongly to it!
Neuschwanstein Castle

The Leaning Tower of Pisa

This tower leans at an angle of 3.99 degrees to the southeast . This may seem very little but at a height of 56 meters, the top of the tower is about 4 metres away from the correct position it should be in!The tower began to sink after construction had progressed to the third floor in 1178. It is unimaginable how the tower managed to survive for almost a thousand years since the start of construction till today.
