It sits on the Bospourus, the strait that marks the division between Europe; afford entry in the Black sea from the Mediterranean. Economic status: After 1453 the city grew and became a centre of trade, power and culture. The Muslims converted more churches and built new mosques. Often, beside the major mosques, there were schools, hospitals, public kitchens, baths, graveyards and large markets, one of which had 280 shops.
Also found there are many small, unique, and cultural shops, in historical buildings, that when combined with the cultural aspect of Chinatown make this place a must see for all. Each building is beautiful, and none are the same. The alleyways are exciting and China town is a fun place for all. Of course the uses of the buildings and the buildings themselves are always becoming more modern, yet history is found for miles in this small but vibrant part of Victoria. Victoria’s historical landmarks make this city unique and full of depth.
Chicago has museums, Navy Pier, parks, zoos, and the beautiful magnificent mile. Orlando has Disney World, Universal, and Sea World.

Both cities generate generous tourist revenue; especially Orlando because who does not want to come somewhere tropical and see the beautiful castle at Disney World.
Coney Island's three big luxury hotels, the Manhattan Beach, Oriental and Brighton Beach were the epitome of a gracious and leisurely age, a unique expression of their era. They were long rambling wooden structures, 600 to 800 feet in length with deep verandas (porches) reaching down their entire length. They faced the sea but were set back by wide green lawns decorated with beds of geraniums and lobelias, and had broad curving walks. These gracious hotels became more and more popular with each day. Evening entertainment included music and fireworks.
For this reason the Bateaux has lived up to its fame and has provided an amazing view, service, and top quality dining. The view that the Bateaux offer is hard to come by in the City. With the trip being four hours it feels like it should be longer with half of the time spent of the cruise ship is spent watching the amazing views.

Staying true to this mission, city officials have provided a Planetarium, a safe rail system that runs parallel to the river and a host of park and recreational areas that stimulate commerce and encourage outdoor activities within the community. Since Kelsey is no longer agriculturally based, Baderman Island serves as an all-inclusive resort that showcases the beauty of the city year round and sustains the local economy. Kelsey has also modernized the border to the river into a well-developed downtown area that invites shopping and provides entertainment until 2 a.m. so that the city maintains its peaceful environment between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m. Kelsey council has also developed an aquifer to supply the municipal water source and that also draws water from Lake Lora. An example of how Kelsey ethically sources water is when the “level of Lake Lora drops due to increased evaporation […] or periods of drought, the city will [use] municipal water wells” (Apollo Group, Inc., 2013).

The fresco's usually have images of important people or sexual content. The roads are still intact and prints from wagons can be still seen. “In Pompeii all is original: the tombs along the stone paved streets; the houses, with their frescoes - some with simple designs and gaudy colors, others more elegant and complex - which open onto shadowed arcades made precious by gardens in bloom and gushing fountains” (Salvatore, 2011, para.18). Pompeii is visited by 2.5 million people annually, making it one of Italy's most popular attractions. People from all across the world come to see this beautiful architectural site for many reasons.
