Created on October 24, 2010 by Veronica Litt, WriterIf there is one word to describe Faneuil Hall, then “alive” would have to be it. The marketplace is renowned as an inviting, vibrant destination. If you make it to Boston, you just have to see Faneuil Hall. The atmosphere around the 1742 building is distinctly Bostonian: bright, friendly and fun.

Created on October 18, 2010 by Veronica Litt, WriterLondon’s Tower Bridge is one of the city of London’s most famous landmark attractions, and is a national symbol that makes you think of the splendours and history of London just from the sight of it.
