Also, the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London. Oh. my. god. So beautiful...perhaps only because I'd never been in a room with that much wealth before I think I went back on the moving sidewalks about five times so I could take in every detail.
Hmm... I'm going to have to agree with you on the first one. The tour wasn't even that great.

As for the jewels, well, I found them to be kind of a letdown. They rushed us through really fast, so that probably had something to do with it.

I was amazed at Picadilly Circus though. Sega World in particular was cool, they had a free-fall roller coaster inside.

My favorite sort of famous place is the Cincinnati skyline. It's so beautiful at night when looking across the I-75 bridge, especially since they finished all of the construction with the stadiums (which are also both amazing places). It just amazes me how beautiful things like that can look.
