Tower of London (Inscribed)
Tower of London
Despite the high cost of entry (London is the world's 2nd most expensive city), the Tower of London is an excellent experience. It will take you at least half a …

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

Qutb Minar (Inscribed)
Qutb Minar

Temple of Heaven

Summer Palace
