Scheveningen Things To Do
Scheveningen: De Scheveningen Pier De Scheveningen Pier by RoyJava
See De Scheveningen Pier and its 400 m. long strolling promenade (rebuilt in 1961), with 2 levels in the distance ... once, a long time ago, the hot trendy Scheveningen disco "Belle Amie" was here. Walk down "De Pier", a glassed-in, roofed over promenade pier in front of the Kurhaus. On the upper deck you can have a glorious walk in sun and wind.

Macquarie Island Things To Do
Macquarie Island: See the old field hut at Sandy Bay See the old field hut at Sandy Bay by tiabunna

The World's Top 10 Ugliest Buildings

The great thing about travel may be seeing the world through a different lens, but that doesn't mean the view is always pretty. With this in mind, the travel experts at VirtualTourist.com have come up with a list of "The World's Top 10 Ugliest Buildings and Monuments." General manager, Giampiero Ambrosi talks about the selections: "Some of these picks have all the charm of a bag of nails while others are just jaw-dropping in their complexity. Love them or hate them, the list is certainly entertaining."



We LOVE hearing from VirtualTourist members and visitors alike. We frequently get notes just letting us know that you're out there and you're enjoying VT. Very often we'll forward the mail around to the rest of the team, to share the love. Drop us a note, we'd love to hear from you.
