Which places in your local area would you show a visitor from another country?

I had visitors from England and Switzerland here last year, online friends actually. We started with going to see the rock carvings (helleristinger) which are about 20 minutes from the airport. Late neolithic I think, so about 2-3000 year old. Then we stopped at Hell at our way into town. Can't not stop at Hell :-) We spent one day walking around in town, saw the cathedral (Nidarosdomen), the museum just buy and it the Crown jewels (except the ones that you haven't given back yet! :-) ). Then we saw the botanical garden around the musical instrument museum. As it was in autumn (september), the musical museum was only open on Sundays. The island in the middle of the fjord has an interesting museum, but it closes in early September. The very small maritime museum was only open on Saturdays, and on Saturday we drove to Røros so instead we saw the Røros musuem, the old mining part of Røros, the heaps of slag and an old mine. And since the mine is only open on Saturdays, we had to go then :-) Then we drove down from Røros between the Norwegian and the Swedish mountains. White mountains, golden birches and sunset! Very nice. On Sunday only one was left, then we went to the outdoor musuem. Stave church, old ruined fort, lots of old houses. And of course, only open on Sundays after mid August. I don't think this country wants tourists in winter unless they have skies ...

I live in Bulgaria - i dont know if all of you know it.my city is plovdiv,it is the second biggest city in the country.And it is one of the oldest cities in Europe.So if a tourist comes to my country I will bring him to the Old Town - it is a magical place with houses from 500 years ago and more.Every each house is a tiny museum and you really get into the atmosphere.There are shops for antiques and you go from place to place through the nicest old rock paths.I had got used to the atmosphere through the years and for me it is just a part of the city bbut i will never forget the feeling i got the first time i went there and i will recommend it to everyone who is a guest to my coutry.

If an overseas friend visited my home country I would meet him or her at London Heathrow Airport or London Gatwick Airport. Then we would spend a couple of days in London because it is the most exciting place for a foreign visitor. I would show him or her Ben Ben, Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament. We would have a ride on the London Eye. Then we would take a tube train to Tower Bridge and we could see the River Thames. On the next day I would take him or her to Greenwich to have a look at the Cutty Sark which is an old ship and the Maritime Museum. The following day we would take a train to the seaside town that I live at. Here I would show him or her Weston-Super-Mare Pier, Sand Bay which is a rural beach ans Uphill which is a village with a gorgeous view from the churchyard. The next day I would take him or her to Glastonbury to walk up the Tor and have a look at the abbey. He or she might like to look around the local shops there: crystal shops and book stores. The following day I would take him or her to some museums and art galleries in Bristol. I am sure my friend would find it enjoyable to visit all these different places in my home country.

If i had to show a visitor a place in my country i would show him/her our drive-in volcano.This is unique and the person can never experience this anywhere else but here.Its a volcano which the wall on one side collapsed a long time ago.People who visits takes sulpur baths there.Its a cool sight. Or i would show them our twin peaks known as the pitons.They are two volcano-shaped cones in the sea on the west coast of the island.They are called gros piton and petite piton(big and small).People actually climb them to see the breath-taking views there.This is exciting and fun especially for adventurous people. We have other wonderful places to see here.But these are the some of the unique places and are must sees here.

If a visitor come from other country then i'll show him/her my hometown philippines and the best place to chill that I want them to visit is the pearl farm beach resort.

Hi porcospino, I am from Goa in India, a place famous world over as a touristic place. It is famous for its beautiful beaches, Old religious places both Hindu temples and Christian churches. I would first take him to the hillock on the top of Fort Aguada located on the shores of Arabian sea. The base of this fort is located slightly above the sea level with its roof and protective walls extending above the hillock. By the side of this fort lies a towering light house which has been guiding the sea voyagers for centuries.From this place you can see the vast expanse of Arabian sea on one side and the glimpse of capital city Panaji from the other. The big boats parked all around into the sea looking like toys. Little distance from this place lies beautiful Calangute beach which is thronged by tourists all round the year. If the person is of religious nature I would take him to 16th century Saint Xaviour church complex, old Goa or beautiful equally old temples of Hidu daities little further apart which numbers in hundreds.

Hi. Porcospino. I would take them to the downtown area. I would let them see the old buildings. Some of them were built before I was even born. It has to be about 50 years old or more older. I think that this will fascinate them so much. It has a lot of history in these old buildings. Many people can shop and walk on the new sidewalks that they have. I call it cobble stone sidewalks. They have water falls and benches where one can sit. They have done some improvement, since the years have went by. I myself, have found it to be very interesting. I think that they would enjoy taking a tour around our new down town area. There is also a painting that has been painted on the brick outer wall. I have always loved this painting. It seems magical and alluring. I thought that it was a real picture. If you look at it closely, you will think that you are actually in the picture. It has that affect.

If someone from other country visited my country the first place that i am going to show them is my hometown. My hometown is one of the most popular city here in my place. It is called the country's "summer capital city" because of it's cold weather. There tourists loved the scenery,the parks,flowers all around and of course the weather. Then,if visitors are from country's that having always cold weather,i would take them to the famous beaches and resort too. The Hundred island will be first in the lists. Are you coming to visit my country so i can show you the beautiful places here ?

I live in small town and what I would show a visitor from another country is our local pizzaria. In my oppinion it's the best pizzaria, atleast the best I've ever been to. I've even been to Italy and try pizzas but these are even better, as hard as it may seem. Another place I would like to show visitors is the beautiful nature we have in this area. We have some very nice forrests and landscapes created during the last ice age.

i live in Wuhan, a city in the middle of china. in my hometown,there is nothing need to mention but snack. My hometown has the best snack i think. if a visitor from other country come to my hometown, i would take him or her to eat the delicious snack, i can bet he or her would never eat such snack before. In additon, there are many lakes in my hometown. And in summer, it's very hot. When i was young, i swim in lakes with so many people together, this is very funny. I think swim in lakes is more interesting than in natatorium. I would take my visitor to swim in the easten lake in our city. But i'm not sure if he or her has the same fun as me.

i do live in China , if i had friend coming from far away , frist i wanna show him to our local here the resturant , then until we get full, i can show him anywhere he like, becoz he never come to my mainland, everything was new for him. so why not special to choose a place ?

I live in Toronto, Canada and there are so many cool spots to choose from. The obvious being the CN Tower of course and maybe Casa Loma, but I like to think that the best spots are the ones less known. The Scarborough Bluffs are a great example. They are beautiful and have so much history. The original settlers in the area came across from NY state on a ship and as they reached the shore they saw these huge chalky cliffs towering above the water, hence the name scarborough.
