Puerto de Alcala

Just a gorgeous spot, particularly at night. It's a lovely monument and if you look closely you can even see where it's been under attack as well!

The Colliseum

posted by btillson on 31 March 2011 at 16:39

We went to see the Colliseum during the day and aside from the sheer scale of the place had that familiar 'seen it a million times in photographs' underwhelmed feeling. We went back at night though and the transformation was absolutely stunning. The lighting makes the sheer scale of the place seem absolutely extraordinary and the size becomes even more pronounced. Definitely make sure you see it lit up.

Arc de Triomphe

Last time I went to Paris we did the whole Eiffel Tower thing, and I have to say I preferred it here! Fewer people, great views, and the amazing shops of the Champs Elysees right at your feet!

Iron Felix

If you visit Lubyanka which you surely will if you're visiting Moscow, make sure that you don't miss the plinth of the statue to Iron Felix, it's not much to see as the statue of this former kgb leader was torn down and replaced by a cross after the fall of the soviets but it is a poignant reminder of a savage period of history
