Europa Avventure By Molly S.

  Have you ever dreamed of floating on a gondola on the Piave River?  Or climbing the Eiffel Tower? Well I have, so I decided to make my list of top five places to visit in Europe.

1) My number one attraction to visit in Europe is definitely the Eiffel Tower. The reason why I think the Eiffel Tower is the best place to visit, is because it is located in France; a very famous country. Another reason, is that the Eiffel Tower sparkles and shimmers like fireworks in the dark, starry night. The final reason, is that amazing views of Paris can be seen as you walk farther up the tower.

 

2) Tick, tock goes Ben the clock; another must see in Europe. Big Ben is located in London, and it helps visitors and citizens alike to travel from A to B.  If its hands aren't  enough, then the sound that it makes on the hour ring out. If its hands and sound are not enough, then its height will definitely be seen as it is the second tallest structure in Europe. 

3) This one is very unique. It is the Ukraine Independence Square, in Kyiv. It is different because in the Square there is a water fountain that " spills" over steps for many feet to enjoy. Also, it has beautiful domed Cathedral buildings that shimmer in the sunlight. (or at least it use to.)  Is soccer your passion? Well, just down the street, is the stadium where Ukraine held the 2012 World Cup soccer series.

4) Venice is a very gorgeous city. It is a magical place to visit because the long Piave River runs through it. Twisting and turning down the river, float the gondalas that show the magnificent views. When laying in a gondala on the Piave River, while looking up, it seems that the tall and historical buildings are giants hovering over me. 

5) Last but not least, the Leaning Tower of Pisa. I would want to visit here because it is actually a bell tower, and I would like to know if the bell is what caused the tower to lean. Also, I would like to know its architectural features, such as where each brick was placed and why. The final reason, is that it is a tower that looks like a stack of dice leaning to the point of tumbling.

So in conclusion, I would love to visit any of the places above, but if I was given the chance to visit two, I would go to the Independence Square in Kyiv, Ukraine,  and of course, the Eiffel Tower.
