A4 #pttravel I’m finally going to see @GatewayArchNPS in St. Louis in May, I’m looking forward to. Also, Machu Picchu & the mosques along the Silk Road are on my hit list. Inside Notre Dame before the fire.

A4 #PTTravel People tell me I should see the Kremlin, but I don't think that's going to happen any time soon. The Golden Temple at Amritsar is on the list, too.

replying to @stuartcturnbull @stuartcturnbull @kate_frankie I got told off once for taking a pic on/of a bridge. It was in Uzbekistan. I assume the security officers were bored. #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A4 I would love to visit hill forts of Rajahstan, like the fort in Jaisalmer or the Amber fort in Jaipur. Maybe next year. A good reason to travel to India where I have not visited yet. #pttravel

Q5 How can we/should we preserve and protect all historic buildings and why?

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Like I have more than three outfits. #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel a5 I'm torn about this. On the one hand I'm a historian and the past is important. Otoh I'm efficient amd practical and, as long as we've documented it, histotical buildings are a bit of a waste of space and resource.

A4 Russia had come up a few times and I would like to visit in future but it looks like it will be a long wait.
Japanese temples, Eastern European castles and anywhere that was historically important

replying to @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie Who knows how many historical buildings we walk over every single day without knowing. And hence....it doesn't *matter*, you know?! #pttravel

A5 #pttravel I think government needs to be involved. They can do fundraisers online now. Visiting the Old North Church in Boston, they brought you in, gave a talk for a few minutes about it’s history, then asked for a donation for upkeep. They also had a gift shop.

A5- We lose so many historical buildings around the world through war. Even the US Capitol and White House 🇺🇸#WashingtonDC have been victims.

A5 I love most historic buildings.
I intensely dislike brutalist architecture.
Would I keep it? Maybe not.
Is it important? Probably.
I can't help thinking that heating and maintaining the massive cathedrals I love is a bit unsustainable.

A5 #PTTravel Probably the best way is repurposing. A good example is the Roundhouse, in Vancouver. They've converted it into a shopping centre, but have still preserved the atmosphere, and devoted a small sector of it to its history

But can say I stood in front of it, at least I visited the mini edition in Minimundus, Carinthia.
Once as a kid and years later again as an adult together with my family! 🤣
So I kind of have already seen it. NOT.

Q6 What tips or recommendations do you have for travellers who want to visit some of these historic buildings?
aok_NW
A6 #pttravel Figure out what you want to see & when. Book ahead if that is available. When you arrive, pay the proper respect.

Visiting the ♥️ of Vienna 🇦🇹 you get the chance to see the Hofburg and the Palm House where you can visit a nice café and the Butterfly House, too. 🦋
