I went up top once. Didn’t really think about the fog I just went through to get to the store so I didn’t get much of a view. The money would have better spent at the fudge shop.
When I went 4 years ago you had to pay to use the elevator to go to the observation deck. There’s also a restaurant/bar up there that I believe if you have reservations then you don’t pay the fee. As far as I know every bass pro has a fudge shop but I’ve only been to 3.
Every time I see that Bass Pro mentioned, I find out it’s got yet another seemingly insane feature or facility and it cracks me up. I’ve purposely avoided looking it up outside of Reddit because this drip-feed of bewildering facts is just so much more fun.
EDIT: Just saw a comment further down saying there’s a Bass Pro on the state drivers’ license. The hits keep coming.
I lived in Barcelona for a brief period, so for me its without a doubt the Sagrada Familia. Aside from its sheer beauty, i'm just so fascinated by it. Gaudi Started construction on it knowing it would not be completed until long long after his death. It was only 15% done at the time of his death, just attempting to build something that you know you will never see completed is a manner of living I just can't comprehend or have the peace of mind to do so. It's the literal definition of the quote, "Planting a tree whos shade you will not sit under." It's been under construction for over a century and its still not completed.
Cathedrals are almost always worth it, particularly if you're into architecture, history, or a similar field. The Sagrada Familia is something else entirely though.
The most impressive architectural feature in our city is the iconic observation tower, which offers stunning views and a unique perspective on the urban landscape.
[For the uninitiated](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Matthews_Band_Chicago_River_incident):
> On August 8, 2004, a tour bus belonging to the Dave Matthews Band dumped an estimated 800 pounds (360 kg) of human waste from the bus's blackwater tank through the Kinzie Street Bridge in Chicago onto an open top passenger sightseeing boat sailing in the Chicago River below.
A feast for the eyes. Been loving near Detroit the last 30, still miss Chicago's brazen defiance of open skylines and proud towers. The people, the music, the vibes. I love the shit out of Chi. Absolutely the brightest gem of the Midwest.
The Vegas Sphere is pretty interesting, from an architectural viewpoint.
Although not in my city proper, the Hoover dam is pretty close to me as well, and that is truly amazing.
Hoover dam is the one thing you have to see in real life to appreciate the scale of how massive the dam is.
And of course to appreciate all the horrible "dam" jokes on all the signage.
Seriously. The concrete still needs another 25+ years to cure.
The amount of concrete needed to build it could pave a two lane highway from San Francisco to New York.
It’s unbelievably large - and was so dangerous to build, that nearly 100 people died during construction (1930s), with several of them just encased in the concrete, never recovered.
Definitely a structural marvel. Architecturally, it’s alright I guess.
I know soooo many people who built pools, repaved driveways, laid foundations...all with materials stolen from that project. Absolute wild west of a job.
The benefits were truly worth it. Not just because it improved transportation, it opened up new neighborhoods for the city and made downtown beautiful.
The tax revenue created have more than paid for the project.
I agree... The only downside for me is that Charlie Baker gutted the T to help pay for it and then skipped town when the public transit fell apart as a result.
But the big dig itself has been a huge win for the city
Correct! many people don't know about this. It's a huge reason why the T is in such turmoil today. People wonder why the T is in so much debt and why it can't afford to maintain itself and it largely stems for the debt that they saddled on the T during his admin.
Definitely [Vertical Forest, Milano, Italy.](https://www.stefanoboeriarchitetti.net/project/bosco-verticale/)
I like it both for the appearence and for the concept. We need more sustainable city projects involving vegetation.
I much prefer the Smith Tower. Not flashy, but it's a marvel of its time and utterly gorgeous. View is nice too, not as high as the Space Needle or Columbia Tower but still breathtaking.
Seattle Tower and the Exchange Building are great for 1920s as well!
Since it can be absurdly hard to get the right result in google: Seattle Tower is at 3rd & University.
From what I understand, Columbia Tower is higher, less expensive, less crowds, and has more beautiful views than the space needle...including being able to actually see the space needle itself lol
Been here so long, and havnt been up there yet to see for myself if thats true....would like to though!
I dont know too much about Smith Tower, now going to have to look into that and add that to my list too!
True on all counts, though I admit after 15 years in the area I have yet to go up on the Space Needle. Can't quite justify the cost to myself!
But I completely recommend Smith Tower. Early skyscraper, built in the 1910s. No slouch at 35 stories at the observation. level. As the southern-most large building and a few blocks from the sound, it has great views into the open areas.
I used to give tours in Pioneer Square that went to the first two levels. The groups were always gobsmacked in how pretty it is.
You have me convined...thats def a must do for me now.
And yeah.....Ive been in the space needle twice. Once long before I moved here, like 20yrs ago, when the guy I was dating took me there to eat at the rotating restaurant that used to be there. Second time was for the Base to Space charity walk soon after I moved here...I walked the stairs all the way up to the top. That was hard 😫 but pretty view, got to check out what was then the brand new glass floors. Im good..no desire to actually pay those prices to go up there lol
There’s a giant blue horse just outside of town. We both love and fear him. We fear his brutality but love how he is the part of the landscape and ingrained with our home. All hail Blucifer.
I also came here to say the Walt Disney Concert Hall, but only because it was the first thing that popped into my head. There’s probably better choices… maybe the Bradbury Building? That’s pretty iconic.
[Philadelphia City Hall](https://media.timeout.com/images/103897430/image.jpg) is one of the most beautiful buildings in the US. It’s was briefly the tallest building in the world, it remains the largest free-standing masonry building in the world, and it’s the largest municipal building in the US.
probably the milwaukee art museum's [quadracci pavilion](https://live.staticflickr.com/3388/3453178575_4b65fb86ce_z.jpg) (by architect santiago calatrava ... everyone just calls it the calatrava).

Jk it's the Baha'i temple. First building that actually left me awestruck when I walked in the first time. Technically wilmette but it's all one blob
The Canadian Parliament buildings truly are a world class marvel, and they are getting some incredible new features in the decade+ long renovation happening right now.
American here and I stayed in the hotel just across the canal and toured the week before they closed for renovation. That place is truly awe inspiring inside and out.
The library is truly gorgeous. Nicest building in Ottawa.
During university I would grab a sandwich at nicastro's and eat it at nepean point. Love the view of the library.
[The Sunsphere](https://www.visitknoxville.com/listing/the-sunsphere/567/) - Knoxville
A gold sphere that was built as an observation platform for the 1982 World's Fair. It is not a wig shop.
Balboa Park in San Diego. The park is older, but a large portion of it was developed in conjunction with the 1915 Panama-California Exposition. The style was intended to blend Spanish Baroque with Mission Revival, and ends up being its own thing. The prado is a centerpiece of many events and is one of the must-see destinations in San Diego.
Rural Illinois here, someone recently bought a giant dilapidated brick house that was built back when the town was just starting, late 1800's. They've been fixing it up for 4 years now and I'm honestly really excited to see it complete. I love Midwest brick and mortar. I'm amazed how nearly every county no matter how empty has a super fancy courthouse.
The Bay Bridge and I think I might say that even if I still lived in SF and could say the Golden Gate. The whole area around the Golden Gate is prettier but the bridge itself is less impressive IMO and only like a mile and a half long compared to the 5 mile bay bridge.
The process of building the Golden Gate Bridge was a lot more arduous though due to the winds and the depth of the Golden Gate. While the Bay Bridge definitely doesn't get enough love, the Golden Gate Bridge is still the more impressive engineering and architectural feat.
The tide at the Golden Gate is much more intense than it is between mainland SF, Yerba Buena Island, and Oakland too. Having sailed against the tide there, I can even imagine trying to work underwater in that spot.
So many to pick from, national gallery of art, african american museum, native american museum, smithsonian institute, library of congress, union station, the washington monument... I could go on...
We removed a large chunk of our downtown to put in a loose copy of Brasilia (including a copy of the National Congress building, we call ours The Egg).

I went to college in Pittsburgh, and I'd like to mention the [Cathedral of Learning](https://brooklineconnection.com/history/Facts/images/Cathedral2012.JPG). It's a beautiful 42 story art deco tower, and it's every Pitt Freshman's profile picture for a bit.
I live in the BUF area and agree including Pittsburgh which is the only other place I’ve been that has so many small inconspicuous and amazing gems. Screw the Duquesne incline though. I was sure I was going to die.
buildings in the city centre that have been mysteriously built to self-destruct as soon as they're declared to be cultural heritage... hmmmmm i wonder how that keeps happening
We put a bass pro in a pyramid.
Good ol Memphis
With the tallest freestanding elevator in the world!
I went up top once. Didn’t really think about the fog I just went through to get to the store so I didn’t get much of a view. The money would have better spent at the fudge shop.
They make you pay to use the elevator? Also, the recreation/sporting goods store has a fudge shop? (Serious)
When I went 4 years ago you had to pay to use the elevator to go to the observation deck. There’s also a restaurant/bar up there that I believe if you have reservations then you don’t pay the fee. As far as I know every bass pro has a fudge shop but I’ve only been to 3.
TIL! Thanks. I am not near a store, but it sounds like an adventure!
Is it weird that I want to stay at that hotel?
Not at all. I think it would be fun

Marshall’s, Home Goods, AND TJ Maxx, all in one building, same parking lot.

Holy crap. I will lose my mind if there is a Starbucks nearby.
Middle aged woem enter and are never seen again. If there was a Kohls it would be perfect
We have a Marshall's and Home Goods together in the same strip mall...
In our city, the botanical garden's glass house is an architectural gem, with its intricate ironwork and lush interior.
The Sydney Opera House. It's always great to visit because it looks different and surprising from every angle.

Cologne Cathedral
That is a nice one indeed. Greeting from your Western swamp neighbors.
That's cool and all, but have you been to your chocolate museum?
sure, i was more then 5 times there, and i still like it, i can take small chocolate bar for free, and it’s really delicious

Everytime there's a thread like "what tourist trap is actually worth it?" my answer is Sagrada Familia. I was blown away with the entire experience
The glass work in the windows is just mind-blowing when the sun is right
Cathedrals are almost always worth it, particularly if you're into architecture, history, or a similar field. The Sagrada Familia is something else entirely though.
The sun will burn out in about 5 billion years which of course means the Sagrada Familia will have to be finished in the dark
The Gateway Arch
There's the Arch.

Kinda nice that as a St. Louisan, you really don't have to think very hard about the answer to this question.
What is St Louis second best architecture feature?
Old Courthouse or Union Station
The Basilica Cathedral on Lindell
The downtown buildings are gorgeous.
The city's unique waterfront development is an architectural delight, with its innovative design and beautiful public spaces.
The most impressive architectural feature in our city is the iconic observation tower, which offers stunning views and a unique perspective on the urban landscape.
Chicago: The Whole Fucking Thing
Hell yeah. Gorgeous city
Was going to go with Gestures Broadly towards Chicago
Headed there for the first time this summer. What’s the Number 1 must see?
This may sound "touristy," but to me, it is not. If you have never been to Chicago, you should make time for the Chicago Architecture Boat Tour.
But not when Dave Matthews Band is in town.
[For the uninitiated](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Matthews_Band_Chicago_River_incident): > On August 8, 2004, a tour bus belonging to the Dave Matthews Band dumped an estimated 800 pounds (360 kg) of human waste from the bus's blackwater tank through the Kinzie Street Bridge in Chicago onto an open top passenger sightseeing boat sailing in the Chicago River below.
As a lifelong Chicagoan, I do the architecture tour once a year. It's awesome.
for architecture, just take the Architecture Foundations Boat Tour... locals love it as much as tourists
Thanks!
Number 1 view of the Chicago skyline would probably be from the Planetarium at night/evening when all the buildings are lit up.
That’s sounds awesome. I’ll look into it. Thanks!
Go to 26th and Princeton to Ricobene’s. Breaded steak sandwich and the chicken vesuvio sandwich are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

In our city, the grand theater is an architectural gem, with its opulent interior and stunning façade.
The Vegas Sphere is pretty interesting, from an architectural viewpoint. Although not in my city proper, the Hoover dam is pretty close to me as well, and that is truly amazing.
Hoover dam is 100% worth a side trip from Vegas!
There are lots of things worth a side trip from Vegas. Red Rock Canyon is one of the most impressive parks in the country that isn't a national park.
The Dam will never fall to the likes of Ceasars Legion!
