It's the most iconic Roman structure in the world and you can't miss it, despite the crowds. I can't believe loads of the stone was used elsewhere, and how enormous and imposing it must have been for those poor gladiators who fought there.

Wow what a fascinating building with an astonishing history. It was built in 1660 and has been slave quarters, a brothel and a supreme court!! Amazing place.

I'm a huge Gehry fan and couldn't visit Prague without visiting this famous dancing house aka Fred and Ginger. It's marvellous, I don't know how he creates such motion in a building but it's wonderful.

Whilst the collection itself is not all that much to write about the building is amazing. Fantastic history too, try and find the guy in the curator's choice exhibit who will tell you all about the history of the place!

This iconic building was top of my must-do list when I went to New York. Yes, the crowds were pretty bad, and it's not cheap, but you can't miss it, can you?
