Quinta do Pisao (Photo Op) by dshay

Quinta do Pisao is a designated natural space located within the Municipality (Camera Municipal) of Cascais. It is situated at the foot of the Serra da Sintra Mountains. It is a great area for walking and each year it is host to LandArt, featuring works of art that are too large to be housed in a museum. Quinta do Pisao is located between Sintra and Malvera da Serra and, as a practical matter, it is only accessible if you have a rental car or via a taxi.

The Crescent Building by VisitWa

L.L. Rand designed this steel-reinforced concrete addition with its cream terra cotta cladding for the ever-expanding Crescent department store in 1917-18. The Crescent opened its doors the morning after the 1889 fire in a crescent-shaped building on West Riverside Avenue, next to the Review Building. Over the years, business grew and the store moved locations until the store on Riverside was built in 1898. In 1993 it was renovated as the Crescent Court, a complex of office and retail space. It is connected to the downtown shopping area connected by skywalks. Posted by Nadine S., Spokane's Homegrown Tourist

Spokane City Hall/Montgomery Wards Bldg by VisitWa

Montgomery Wards, originator of the mail order business, opened in this building in 1929. It is designed by J.C. Douche and E.J. Kratt, architects from their Chicago offices. It is one of several art deco style buildings in Spokane. (The term “art deco” came from the name of a 1925 art expo in Paris which popularized the futuristic, modern style that borrowed from Egyptian and Aztec visual arts.) When the store opened it is rumored that 55,000 people shuffled through the seven stories, which were packed with clothing, housewares, furniture and sporting goods, in the first two days. The building even had its own railroad spur from the Union Pacific elevated line nearby. The building was purchased and refurbished by the city of Spokane and became the new Spokane city hall in 1982. Posted by Nadine S., Spokane’s Homegrown Tourist

'Fifty Shades of Grey' Tower - Photo Op by YodioMan

Escala tower is the centerpiece of E.L. James' 2012 novel, "Fifty Shades of Grey." Featured throughout this fictional novel, the “1920 – Fourth Ave.” address of the elegant, 30-story ESCALA is among Seattle’s most exclusive addresses, and the building is shown in a number of location shots in the movie of the same name. For fans, it is a major photo op. Since Escala is a private residence, most fans are limited to having their picture taken in front of the street sign and shots capturing the building exterior. Several scenes in "Fifty Shades of Grey" were filmed at the top of the big circular stairway. The grand staircase ascends from the lobby to Club Cielo, an exclusive 25,000-square-foot city club for homeowners and their guests.

No need to make a reservation in advance. Just show up at the appointed hour and look for someone wearing a Chill-Out Tour bib.

Campo dos Martires da Patria by dshay

Campo dos Martires da Patria site atop one of the seven hills of Lisbon.

There is an excellent view of Castle St. George from the park. The park sits next to the campus of the University of Lisbon. Within the park is a statue of Dr. Sousa Martins, famous for his treatment of tuberculosis patients in the late 1900’s.

Villa Bertha (Photo Op) by dshay

This villa is one of Lisbon’s “secret” treasures. It is a beautiful building that is over 100 years old. It is notable for its quality of construction and finishes including wrought-iron balconies (not common at the time), tile friezes and Art Nouveau decorative touches. Francisco Tojal was the designer and builder. He gave the villa the name Berta, after his only female child. The building is located in the Graca district, an area that is home to a number of other notable Lisbon sites.

Pavilhao Chinez (Chinese Pavillion) by dshay

Pavilhao Chinez is one of the most unique bars to be found anywhere. The bar has five rooms and each room contains thousands of collectables or every sort. There are over 4 million collectable items on display. It is really more of a museum than a bar, although with an 80 page drink menu it certainly qualifies as a full-fledged bar as well. It is worth a stop even if you aren’t interested in having a drink just because of the memorabilia on display. Although a bar it is a great place to visit for the whole family. It is located in Principe Real very near downtown Lisbon. The bar opens every day at 6 PM (1800).
