Beitou Plum Garden
A low timber house in Beitou carries the feel of a private retreat, but its rooms also preserve a record of the district’s twentieth-century history. The garden, Japanese-style construction, and air-raid shelter show how one residence adapted to changing times.
Beitou Thermal Valley
Steam rises from a sulfurous pool in this volcanic valley, where hot spring water reveals heat still moving beneath Beitou. The site also connects local geology to an unusual mineral found here and at a single Japanese counterpart.
Beldibi Cave
Beldibi Cave is a shallow rock shelter above the coast on the Antalya–Kemer route. Archaeological layers and wall paintings connect this small opening with prehistoric life, while erosion has also made the site especially vulnerable.
Benchasiri Park
Benchasiri Park places sculpture, water, and recreation in a compact green space along Sukhumvit Road. Opened to mark Queen Sirikit’s sixtieth birthday, it includes works by Thai artists and a large commemorative coin, giving everyday park paths a public-art dimension.
Benjakitti Park
Benjakitti Park’s boardwalks and wetlands bring a broad green landscape into central Bangkok. Look for water channels, emergent plants, and elevated paths that let visitors cross the site while leaving habitat intact; the park is designed to support both recreation and urban ecological functions.
Berjaya Times Square Theme Park
Inside Berjaya Times Square, the theme park turns a multi-storey mall into a vertical playground. Its two zones, Galaxy Station and Fantasy Garden, set thrill rides beside attractions designed for younger visitors.
Berlin Botanical Garden
Berlin Botanical Garden began as a medicinal and agricultural teaching garden before moving to Dahlem for more room. Its extensive living collections make classification visible in the landscape, while its history also prompts questions about how botanical knowledge was gathered and organized.
Berlin Cathedral
Berlin Cathedral’s monumental dome stands on Museum Island, but the institution’s history reaches back to a collegiate church in medieval Cölln. The present building, completed in 1905, reflects an imperial-era ambition that survived war damage and reconstruction.
Berliner Unterwelten
Berliner Unterwelten researches and preserves Berlin’s underground infrastructure, from bunkers to transport spaces. Its base in a Gesundbrunnen station shelter makes the work tangible: a historic bunker itself became the organization’s first public window into the city below ground.
Berlin Hohenschönhausen Memorial
Berlin-Hohenschönhausen Memorial preserves the site of a former prison used by Soviet and East German state security agencies. Exhibitions and survivor accounts document political imprisonment and the experience of detention under dictatorship.
Berlinische Galerie
Berlinische Galerie collects modern and contemporary art, photography, and architecture connected with Berlin. Housed in a former industrial building, the museum brings the city’s artistic history into a space whose own reuse reflects Berlin’s changing urban fabric.
Berlin Story Bunker
Berlin Story Bunker occupies a massive World War II air-raid shelter near Anhalter Bahnhof. The thick concrete structure later served as storage for West Berlin’s emergency food reserves before becoming a museum, giving the building’s survival a second, postwar chapter.
Berlin TV Tower
Berlin TV Tower rises above Alexanderplatz as both a broadcast facility and a landmark built by East Germany. Its sphere and slender shaft were engineered to project a modern image, and today they mark a skyline shared by a reunified city.
Berlin Wall Memorial
At Bernauer Straße, the Berlin Wall Memorial preserves a section of border landscape rather than a lone fragment. Surviving structures and traces explain how the border cut through streets and homes and how local people fought to preserve evidence of it.
Berlin Zoological Garden
Opened in 1844, Berlin Zoological Garden was Germany’s first zoo. Its grounds preserve historic structures and record major changes in animal display, conservation practice, war, and the institution’s own role in German history.
Beverly Hills Sign
The Beverly Hills sign and lily pond sit within Beverly Gardens Park, a landscaped ribbon that gives the city a recognizable public image. The sign works as a civic marker, while the water and planting soften the surrounding urban streets.
Beyazıt Square
Beyazıt Square occupies the footprint of an ancient imperial forum and now connects Istanbul University, Beyazıt Mosque, booksellers, and the Grand Bazaar. Its changing names and uses make it a meeting point between Roman, Ottoman, and modern civic life.
Beylerbeyi Palace
Beylerbeyi Palace faces the Bosphorus as both a summer residence and a state guesthouse. Built under Sultan Abdülaziz between 1863 and 1865, it combines European exterior influences with features of a traditional Ottoman house, reflecting its role as a royal retreat for visiting dignitaries.
Biblioteca Ambrosiana
Founded by Cardinal Federico Borromeo, Biblioteca Ambrosiana opened in 1609 as an institution intended for public learning. Its library, art gallery, and academy formed a connected cultural project whose collections include Leonardo’s Codex Atlanticus.
Big Ben
The Elizabeth Tower rises beside the Palace of Westminster, making parliamentary time visible across London. “Big Ben” is the Great Bell inside, not the tower itself. Its four immense dials and Victorian mechanism combine civic ritual with ingenious clock engineering.
Big Buddha
The Tian Tan Buddha sits above Ngong Ping on Lantau Island, facing Po Lin Monastery. The monumental bronze figure is both a pilgrimage destination and a landmark, reached through a landscape of mountain paths and religious institutions.
Big Wave Bay Beach (Hong Kong Island)
Big Wave Bay Beach on Hong Kong Island opens onto the Pacific-facing coast, where surf and changing weather shape the shoreline. The beach is part of a wider coastal landscape of rocky headlands, paths, and archaeological traces.
Bi’r Tuwa
Bi’r Tuwa is a historic well in the Dhu Tawa valley, near Mecca’s older northern approach. Accounts connect the place with the Prophet’s arrival and preparation before entering the city, giving a water source a role in the journey’s geography.
Bloemenmarkt
Along the Singel, flower stalls occupy permanent moorings that preserve the memory of vendors arriving by boat. The Bloemenmarkt moved here in 1862, when floating trade became a fixed part of the canal edge.
