Here in the UK castles are two a penny. You can’t turn the corner without their being one hiding up a lane somewhere. But today we are not after the common castles, today we are taking a look at ten of the most amazing castles from around the world. From the biggest to the smallest and a few other surprises…
Do you like a ground floor hotel room or do you like to be as close to the penthouse suite as possible? If you prefer the latter you will enjoy staying the night at one of these hotels because they are the tallest in the world and the view from the top floors is simply incredible…
Whenever I think of an Obelisk I always think of Asterisk and Obelisk, but these ten monuments and structures are not wearing blue and white stripy pants, they are amazing constructions that sadly often go unnoticed. That was until now…
When we think of the tallest towers in the world we must remember it often replaces the 2’nd tallest tower in the world and if you go backwards in time looking at the tallest towers in the world you come across some of the worlds most famous structures…
While for the most part, this list of the worlds tallest observation decks does follow the list of the worlds tallest buildings, it is still pretty interesting with one or two surprise entries thrown in for good measure. If you don’t have a head for heights you might want to look away now…
While I would like to have done this post based on the number of bricks used bricks do of course come in all shapes and sizes much like the buildings they are made of. So we are going on the ground area they cover and some of them are very impressive indeed…
Twisted buildings are often the hardest to build and they are also far from being the tallest buildings in the world. But when some of them have twists of up to 360° it can be hard not to be impressed by them. This list features ten of the tallest twisted buildings in the world and also where they are located…
We have already seen the tallest buildings in the world, but what about a little closer to the UK. Today we take a look at the ten tallest buildings in Europe and where they are located. While there are only 3 European countries on this list, the buildings that make it are still very impressive…
While we don’t have that many tall buildings outside of London here in the UK we do still have some pretty tall structures. From communication masts to transmitting stations, these are the ten biggest in the UK and some of them are more impressive than you might think…
While most hospitals around the world are single our name 2 floors, these ten you are about to see have 20 or more floors!

We’ve already seen the longest dams in the world and now it is time for the tallest. While China is the champions of dam building this list of ten takes us all over the world. While you might argue the economic value of dams there is at least some aesthetic value to be gained from them…
While the cost of making a wooden coaster as long as the steel ones we have already seen would be astronomical there are still some pretty impressive woodies that seem to go on forever. What is doubly interesting with the worlds longest wooden coasters is the ride times. Because they have to go slower than their steel counterparts the ride …
We have already seen the worlds tallest wooden and steel coasters but now it is a question of length. While most coasters are over in well under a minute these rides you are about to see last a little while longer and to the riders, they seem to go on forever…
While the “woodies” were never going to be as tall as their steel counterparts there are still some truly terrifying wooden coasters out there that nod towards the 200ft mark. These are the tallest wooden roller coasters in the world and where they are located…
You’re going to be glad these ten costers you are about to see are not the Human Powered Rollercoasters we have seen before in this blog because they are the worlds tallest and some of them are far taller than some of the worlds major landmarks! So let’s pull down our safety bars and hold on because any of these …
While the list of the ten tallest buildings in the world is pretty impressive it is nothing when compared to this list of concept designs, finished blueprints and unfinished buildings.
