Site Rating:

Although the featured attractions, sites and landmarks are always chosen by me, I have made a serious effort to differentiate 4 levels:

• (***) This is, for whatever reason, a very personal favourite! Will definitely be on my itinerary! Could possibly be disappointing for someone else though.
• (**)   A major must-see tourist attraction that you can find in many a brochure.
• (*)     Worth seeing and possibly interesting if you happen to be in the vicinity.
• (-)     A hefty dollop of imagination is a must, but it might be interesting if you know the background.
