The Blue Grotto in Capri, or maybe some of the less famous grottos on the Mediterranean Coast. There is something so terrifying about being surrounded by rock formations, I'm not typically a claustrophobic person, but felt a visceral fear of being under that much rock with waves moving in and out of the cave. And yet the grotto is gorgeous because of the reflection of the light. The endless dark of the cave is lit by the most brilliant blue of the water.

I like to imagine the person who first discovers something like that, having to overcome the fear of the unknown and be rewarded with the best mother nature has to offer.

Santa Maria del Fiore. Yep, the cathedral from Assassin’s Creed 2 in Firenze.

The CERN LHC in Geneva.

In my first year of high school, we actually went out to the massive Toyota truck factory in San Antonio, Texas as a field trip! Definitely the best field trip of all time (at least, for my area), I can't actually remember the purpose of the trip (if it was tied to a lesson plan at the time, or if we just did it because it was cool).

I remember being really amazed at the automatic robots that whirred around the facility. Sadly I do not have any pictures of the trip (and even if I'd had the means to do so, that was so long ago that I definitely wouldn't still have copies anyways) however there is an article here from a team that took a tour, they even cover the "Stop, Point, Look" policy that they made us follow while we were in the manufacturing plant.

At the time, I believe their "Tacoma" model of pickup trucks were only assembled in that plant (at least, in the US) - this doesn't seem to actually be the case anymore, but I heavily recall them mentioning some model of truck that was only made there.

I don't think I've ever been to any incredible landmarks/buildings etc. So I'm gonna say, a glider.

I had no idea what I was walking into. Had read nothing about it.
