Maelstrom on the Roof

A maelstrom is defined as a very powerful whirlpool or a large swirling body of water. It is certainly one way to describe this installation against the backdrop of New York City. Roxy Paine created a 130-foot long and 45-foot wide sculpture made entirely of stainless steel, with the goal of immersing viewers in a cataclysmic force of nature. He wanted to explore the interplay between the natural world and the built environment, and this is certainly a great spot to display it.

High Line — Like Peter Dorrien Traisci

Perched deliciously above the madness of the city, Manhattan's recently opened High Line offers respite for the weary simply by moving...upward. Spanning the length of the borough's wonderfully shabby lower west side, the once-defunct raised railway now offers city dwellers a decidedly green escape from the seemingly ceaseless movement of the metropolis. Meander the lushly designed walkway and admire the sun as it disappears ever so quietly behind the Hudson River. You'll wonder why it ever seemed like a good idea to be in a rush.

Leeds Castle — Like Thomas Wallace

Leeds Castle has been home to royalty for over 1000 years, but the period architecture, magnificent interiors, and renowned aviaries are not the only draw. Each November, a pyrotechnic spectacular with music is set against the backdrop of the lit castle, and it's one of the best fireworks displays in Europe.

Gustaf III Airport, St Barths

Taking the aviation equivalent of rollercoaster ride to reach your vacation destination may not sound like your idea of fun, but if you’re brave enough to try it, once won’t be enough. The majority of the 12-minute hop from St Maarten to St Barths is uneventful, if glorious, flying over the turquoise waters of the Canal de Saint-Barthélémy, but it’s in the last 60 seconds that the thrill ride takes place. Fellow passengers—complete strangers before now—squeal en masse with a mix of terror and exhilaration as the tiny plane crests over the top of the mountain then plummets nose-down on to the runway (one of the world’s shortest) below. Suddenly it’s all over. You’ve made it. There’s a palpable sense of relief… and anti-climax. Not to worry, though: St Barths’ stellar resorts and picture-perfect beaches are awaiting your arrival.

From below... — Like Jennifer Catuzzi

It was pouring down rain, thunder, lightening, the works. Soaked and shivering, we wondered if we could skip the whole thing. Then my seven-year-old looked up at the Eiffel Tower and said, her voice shaking, "Mama, it's the most beautiful moment of my life." Gustave Eiffel succinctly explained why it's so beautiful: "Wind resistance." But—if you want to see it and not feel like a sheep for slaughter—walk up: 704 stairs to the second floor, where the view is just as great as at the top. It's fun. People from all continents are laughing at how out of shape they are while the people in the elevator want to kill each other. If you plan ahead, there's also a great Behind-the-Scenes tour, complete with secret war bunker.
