The entire City of Bath was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987 thanks in large part to its well-preserved Roman baths, which were built upon hot springs.

For nearly three decades, the CN Tower was the world's tallest structure. It kept that title until 2009.

Answer: Dubai

Burj Khalifa was at the time of its contruction the tallest building in the world, at 2717 feet. The Burj al-Arab is the renown "7-star" hotel which was built in the shape of a sail. The Mall of the Emirates is not the largest mall in Dubai; that honor goes currently to the unimaginatively names Dubai Mall. But the Mall of the Emirates is home to the indoor skiing facility Ski Dubai.

Paris is a beautiful city architecturally and aesthetically speaking. As of 2007, the Paris metropolitan area was home to over 11.8 million people.

Answer: Tivoli

The Villa d'Este was built for Cardinal Ippolito il d'Este in the 1550s. It was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2001. Hadrian's Villa (or, in Italian, Villa Adriana), was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1999.

Answer: Florence

Florence is also home to Brunelleschi's dome and Giotto's bell tower, both of which are all part of the huge cathedral known as Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore. The Basilica di Santa Croce is similar to Westminster Abbey in London in the respect that many of Italian history's most famous people - such as Michelangelo and Galileo - are buried at the church, with huge sculpted monuments marking their resting place.

Answer: Vancouver

The Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden was the first full-sized Chinese "scholars" garden built outside China.

Vancouver is well known also for its bridges such as the Lions Gate Bridge. Since downtown Vancouver has water on three of its four sides, its city fathers focused on aesthetically pleasing bridges to traverse the waterways.
