Members and editors of travel website VirtualTourist.com (www.virtualtourist.com) have come up with a list of the world's 10 most legendary bars. This list is not endorsed by Reuters.
"Generally speaking, bars aren't the first stop on most tourists' lists of places to see, but when you learn about the people they inspired and the events for which they were the backdrop, they become incredibly culturally significant," said VirtualTourist.com's General manager Giampiero Ambrosi.
