Ultimate World Landmark Tournament

HeidiHeidi

Oh, the Atomium for me in this one!!

It's wacky, completely different, has interesting stuff inside it, and makes for a great landmark in Brussels.

Went to the Atomium as a 12y/o - it was quite fantastic, but Neuschwanstein Castle

Neuschwanstein Castle
It's a beautiful castle perched up on that hilltop, it also was the inspiration for the Disney Castle

Cosmo Kramer

Probably the most clear cut one so far - Neuschwanstein on another level here. In my opinion the most visually striking of the many castles we have seen in this tournament.

Neuschwanstein Castle (Germany)

As castles go that one is spectacular, as is the setting it is in

HeidiHeidi

Oh dearie me.... I'm feeling kinda lonely in this one!!

Neuschwanstein Castle (Germany)

I was hoping to see it in August.

I'm really torn here but I think I'll swing for the Atomium. I didnt vote for it earlier but I feel it might be a bit more interesting than the (beautiful) castle

Mdina Old City (Malta)

Amazing city and wouldn't hesitate to visit again.

Heaven's Gate (China)

Enough Old Cities through already :pac:

Heaven's Gate (China)

Against a city, this wins

Heaven's Gate
It looks incredible, not sure I'd be able to walk the whole way up but I'd give it a bloody good shot

cdeb

I love an old town, and Mdina is a great example, but that stairway is something else. Easy choice here in the end for the Chinese option

Purgative

Mdina

HeidiHeidi

Mmmmm...... hard one this!

Think I'll plump for Mdina, as I was there and loved it (and the Heaven's Gate isn't half as impressive if you zoom out that shot!)

SineadSpears

Heaven's Gate.
I'm just after realising that that's a hole in the mountain. I thought it was a big white chalk thing carved into the rock lol

Mehaffey1

Heavens Gate for me.

Was in Mdina as a 16 year old with the worst hangover of my young life that far so only bad personal memories.

Cosmo Kramer

Heaven's gate just offers something a bit different here. Dubrovnik already has the Old Town part of the market sewn up.

Bratislava UFO Observation Deck (Slovakia)



VS

Hill of Crosses (Lithuania)

Necro

Damn, I really like both of these...

Bratislava UFO Observation Deck (Slovakia)

Just seems more landmarky, though tbh I don't mind either going through.

duffman13

I'm sure that Hill of crosses is probably underwhelming in real life but it looks amazing so I'm going with that

Hill of Crosses (Lithuania)

Just so freaky and weird, love it!

HeidiHeidi

Ahhh, the UFO definitely has to get the vote in this one!

Imaginative, quirky, looks lovely, and a great view from the top (presumably!).

What's not to like??

Hill of Crosses a bit weird/ scary/ depressing in comparison.

Hill of Crosses (Lithuania)

SineadSpears

Hill of Crosses - I'm still disappointed that the UFO deck is just a restaurant. & the crosses still has the same wacky appeal as my last vote for it

Sawduck

Hill of Crosses
Looks amazing especially that picture
