What are the best things to see in your town?

For those who live in a suburb of a few thousand people, feel free to go metro. For me:

I don't know, it depends what sort of things you like, really. The main Uni building is so comically sham-gothic and so amusingly imposing that it probably wins. Because you literally can't not see it while here, lol.
Seriously, most of the local tourist attractions are outside the city (unless you have a thing for churches, early 20th century academic buildings or interesting residential areas), though quite close. In the somewhat unlikely chance that anyone reading this is going to visit North Wales soon, you should visit Beaumaris. Its a wonderful little place; a proper little seaside town, astonishing views (the mountains loom up out of the Menai) and a crazy castle that they never finished building because the money ran out.

There's really only three things in Hässleholm I can think of that' actuallys worth seeing.

Hovdala Castle with it's beautiful surrounding woods and farmland.
The ceiling of Maria Church in Brönnestad a few km outide of town
And the Museum of Military History

Only the first one is actually that great ^^ (Although the two others are intresting to visit if you have nothing else to do on a boring day)

You know for some reason I've always been curious to see the underground tunnels of Carleton University if I go to Ottowa. Underground road systems facinate me for some reason.

I was in the Carleton tunnels only a few hours ago, ironically.

You would undoubtedly prefer le Montreal sous-terrain, which is massive and fascinating.

Oh intresting, that seems like an awsome tunnel system. I really need to visit Canada someday, both Ottowa and Montreal. Seems like very intresting cities.

You're from all over New York City?

You can see some sexual trees and the Verizon headquarters in my town.  GET excited.  Lots of rich twats, too.

One of the best in the world, according to Jack Hanna.  I have been after them for 20 years to change the name to something other than "Children's Zoo" because it makes it sound like a little petting zoo.  The place is huge.  All we need are elephants, rhinos and hippos.

Not just an ordinary, garden variety library.  This place is Mecca to hundreds of thousands of genealogists.  It is second only to the genealogical facilities available in Salt Lake City.

For a city this small to have an orchestra of this caliber is somewhat uncommon.  For a city this size to have an orchestra that is consistently in the black is downright rare.


We just built a state of the art, downtown baseball stadium for our Single-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres.  Though it's a single A team, the stadium was built to Double A specs.  I was skeptical from the get-go, but after attending a few games in the inaugural (and championship) season...they made me a believer.  Now, if only we had not changed the name of the team to the "Tincaps".  Yeesh.

There isn't a whole lot to "see". There's the Nauticus Museum, where I kid you not, their slogan is
"Nauticus: the deeper you go the better it gets". Douglas MacArthur's tomb is downtown:

[dead0man]

Omaha has one of the best zoos in the world - Henry Doorly Zoo

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Great, new ape house as well.

The Durham Western Heritage Museum (in Omaha's old Union Station) is cool if you're into old trains.

Strategic Air and Space Museum is just down the road a bit.

Omaha is also home to the largest National Register historic district lost to date when asshats in the late 1980s tore down all 24 buildings in Jobbers Canyon.  ConAgra did it, but the city allowed it.  Shame.

We also have the empty lot where Malcolm X's birth house once stood.

Where?

[Gren]

San Juan de Gaztelugatxe's hermitage.



Guggenheim Museum.



Vizcaya's Bridge.



The Old Town.



Basilica of Begoña (we do have a cathedral too, but this is more beautiful)

[Hans-im-Glück]

In my town gives nothing to see

But when you like nature and need a quiet place then is my hometown the right.

[ARescan]

Midwest Ice Arena?

Or you can just go to Chicago which is an hour away.

[perdedor]

There is something to see on every street in downtown Austin. Aside from that Zilker Park is nice.

The bats under the bridge at sunset was my favorite part about Austin.
