The Atomium is one of the most unusual buildings I have ever seen. It's a 100+ metre tall model of an iron crystal. Each 'iron atom' is a room and the 'bonds' contain escalators and stairs so you can travel between them, and enjoy the views. For novelty value this building gets 10 out of 10! When I visited it was being renovated but I believe the original contents of the museum are back in place now.

Very unusual apartment block designed by Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser; organic feel with uneven floors, unusually tiled walls terraces with trees growing in them on various levels of the building, grass on the roof walls and pillars all very colourful and crazy looking. There's a museum there so yo ucan go inside and get a feel for it and buy yourself a souvenir. There are now 3 appartment block in the area of the same style, all are worth a look. A must see if visiting Vienna!

Highlights of Flinders Lane are many, it's the spirit of Melbourne rolled into one little street. It has a mixture of chic and bohemia rubbing shoulders comfortably with it's many cafes, restaurants, independent designers and galleries. Little things to check out are the Citylights also located in Hosier Lane. Which showcases art to the public 24-hours a day using wall mounted lightboxes. It has become a popular area for graffiti artists who work with stencils (...I wonder if my stencil art is still up there...)

A beautiful 14th Century church, cannot be missed if you go to Florence. I think as well as being architecturally stunning it has some of Florence's most amazing works of art including Massachio and Brunelleschi. Look for the Henry Moore bronze in the adjoining gardens as you leave. (seemed a strange place to find one)
