Not seeing the Big Ben in London is like not seeing the Great Wall of China when visiting Beijing. While you can't actually go up the tower to see the great bell (which is actually what the Big Ben is), it's a beautiful sight to behold and one of the definitive monuments that you have to spend a few minutes... more

OK, if it was at the middle of nowhere, you wouldn't really go to see it, would you?

An excelent place and full of tourists, spectacular at night when the clock faces are illuminated more

Bonita estructura y acabados. Especialmente bonito por la noche. more
