Number 25.
Vienna.
As the former seat of the Habsburg Empire, Vienna is awash with impressive imperial buildings
and palaces, which so comprehensively convey the wealth and power of its former monarchs.
Now the capital of Austria, the city is a delight to get lost in.
Nicknamed the City of Music, the names of its famous residents roll off the tongue,
with Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert among those who once graced its streets.
Number 24.
Stonehenge.
You have to marvel at the determination of prehistoric man when you look at Stonehenge.
Construction started about 3000 BC on what was originally burial grounds.
Huge monoliths, weighing 25 tons, were dragged 150 miles to the site a few hundred years
later.
It's not known exactly how many humongous rocks were moved to a field near Amesbury,
but there are 13 standing today.
It's also not known why Stonehenge was built, but many believe this great English landmark
is associated with early astrology.
Number 23.
Matterhorn.
Egypt may have its pyramids, but Italy and Switzerland have a nature-made pyramid of
their own, the Matterhorn.
At 14,692 feet high, this famous mountain is one of the highest in Europe.
The mountain has four faces, each equally rugged.
The legendary mountain has been popular with climbers since the first ascent in 1865.
During the summer, 150 people a day try to climb it.
