International Attractions
International Attractions — Landmark Guides With Tickets, Timing and Transfers
Each guide answers the three questions that decide a landmark visit: which ticket, which hour, and how to get there without the queue. The booking buttons on every guide open the live BookingWorldwide.net search for that city — flights, hotels and activities — and the BlaakLine booker handles the car.
The Eiffel Tower, Paris
Seven million people climb it every year, and most of them queue for longer than they stand at the top. A little planning fixes that.
Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel
Twenty-thousand people a day walk the same seven-kilometre route to the Sistine Chapel. The difference between a great visit and an ordeal is entirely about when you start.
Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island
The only ferry that lands on Liberty Island is the official one, and the crown sells out months ahead. Everything else about the day is easier than it looks.
La Sagrada Família, Barcelona
Gaudí's basilica has been under construction since 1882 and it still changes every year. The light inside changes every hour, which is the thing to plan around.
The Tower of London
A thousand-year-old fortress in the middle of a financial district, still guarded by soldiers, still home to the Crown Jewels. Arrive at opening and go straight to the jewels.
The CN Tower, Toronto
For 32 years it was the tallest free-standing structure on earth. Today its best trick is a hands-free walk around the outside of the main pod, 356 metres above the lakeshore.
Gardens by the Bay, Singapore
A 101-hectare garden built on reclaimed land, with a 35-metre indoor waterfall and a grove of solar-powered trees that sing after dark. Most of it is free.
The Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, Bangkok
Two hundred years of royal architecture on 218,000 square metres beside the Chao Phraya, with a 66-centimetre jade Buddha at its heart. Go early, dress properly and ignore anyone who says it is closed.
Sensō-ji and Asakusa, Tokyo
Tokyo's oldest temple gets thirty million visitors a year, but at 6 a.m. or after 9 p.m. you can have the Thunder Gate almost to yourself.
Jemaa el-Fnaa, Marrakesh
By day a parking lot with orange-juice carts; by night the greatest open-air theatre in North Africa. UNESCO put the square itself on its heritage list, not any building on it.
Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco
The bridge is 2.7 kilometres long and free to walk. The question is which side of the strait you stand on, and whether the fog has come in.
The Las Vegas Strip
Six point eight kilometres of casinos, a 112-metre LED sphere and a lake that dances every fifteen minutes. The Strip is longer than it looks and hotter than you think.
