St Peter's Basilica

You can get church fatigue quite easily in Rome but I defy anyone not to see the splendour and the beauty of this fine example. It's absolutely huge!

Colosseum

posted by mwentzel on 27 September 2011 at 10:18

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.

Edinburgh Castle

The quintessential trip when you're in Edinburgh and it won't dissapoint! Although you might want to consider a second mortgage if you're going with the whole family!!

Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art

posted by mmoore on 27 September 2011 at 10:07

I like the way that they have all the greats but still a large collection of modern Scottish art too. You can make a day of it here as the sculpture garden is great and leads to a walk down to the Water of Leith.

Royal Yacht Britannia

posted by dberry on 27 September 2011 at 10:05

What a wonderful insight into the Queen's private thoughts as displayed by the way she chose to live on board this vessel. Take the audio tour, it's fascinating and well worth the extra time it takes to get round.

Bus 11, 22 or 35 to Ocean Terminal
