PARIS • LONDON • ROME

The London Eye is 135 meters high which makes it the world's tallest
observation wheel. It has 32 capsules and carries around 10,000
visitors every day. The London Eye has become the most popular
paid for UK visitor attraction, visited by over 3.5 million people a year.
While traveling in complete safety you can see up to 40 kilometers
away in all directions from each capsule.
The British Museum opened in 1753 and has prided itself on remain-
ing free for all that time. The British Museum houses more than an
incredible 7 million objects and it would probably take a week to see
everything.
The collection of Egyptian and Greek antiquities are without a doubt
amongst the largest and best known in the world. Part of the
collection consists of the controversial Elgin Marbles, brought back
from the Parthenon in Athens by Lord Elgin, whilst he was serving as
Ambassador to Constantinople at the beginning of the nineteenth
century, and subsequently bought for the museum by the English
government.
The Lourve museum. Housed in the Palais du Louvre (Louvre Pal-
ace), the former seat of French royalty, the Louvre emerged in the
12th century as a medieval fortress, slowly evolving toward its status
as a public arts museum during the French Revolution in the late 18th
century. Since then, it has become the globe's most-visited museum,
and an enduring symbol of French excellence in the arts.
The Eiffel Tower is Paris' most-recognized icon. Built for the World
Exposition of 1889, the tower is a relative newcomer to a city
whose history stretches back to over a millennia.
Wildly unpopular when it was unveiled and nearly torn down, the
Eiffel Tower was finally embraced as the symbol of a modern and
elegant Paris. It remains one of Paris' must-see attractionsand has
drawn over 200 million visitors.
Detractors will call the Eiffel Tower cliche, but few can peel their eyes
away when the tower bursts into a shower of scintillating light every
hour each evening. What would la ville lumière be without it?
Vatican City, also called the Holy See, is a tiny sovereign independ-
ent state. Vatican City is only .44 sq. km. and has a population of less
than 1000. Vatican City gained independence from Italy on 11 Febru-
ary, 1929. In 2005, over 3.8 million people visited Vatican City.
The Holy See is the seat of the Catholic religion and home of the
Pope since 1378. The pope lives in the papal apartments in the
Vatican and the church of the Pope, St. Peter's Basilica, is in Vatican
City.
The Colosseum is one of the most well-known of the ancient Roman
structures because so much of it still remains. The medieval historian
Bede applied the name Colosseum (Colyseus) to the Amphitheatrum
Flavium, possibly because the amphitheater -- which had taken back
the pond on the land Nero had devoted to his extravagant golden
palace (domus aurea) -- stood beside a colossal statue of Nero. This
etymology is disputed.
