See it or skip it? Europe’s top attractions.

You’re only in Paris for a short time: is it worth waiting in the long lines to go up the Eiffel Tower? You’ve seen Stonehenge in countless photographs, so is it worth the drive out to rural Wiltshire to see it in person? Are certain top attractions truly ‘must-sees’?
