Museggmauer in Lucerne, Switzerland

This old city wall with nine towers was build in the 13th century to protect the town. As the town grew, the wall also grew to about 800 meters and with more towers. It’s one of the best preserved defensive walls in Switzerland. Some of the towers are open and provide amazing views of the town and the lake. Others are still functioning, mostly as guild headquarters.

Bird's-eye View from San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy

Stand at Piazza San Marco (St. Mark's Square) and peer across the turquoise waters. A bell tower stands tall, just behind a white church. Remember the quest? Always seek a place that offers a new vantage point, preferably with a birdseye view of the city. There is no better way to know a city.
