Forget fridge magnets and tea towels, travellers are collecting Pikachu and Sandshrew instead of souvenirs. Check out our Listopedia\u00a0of Pok\u00e9mon hotspots around the world to keep you in the game.<\/p>\n

Circular Quay, Sydney, Australia<\/h2>\n

There are Pok\u00e9mon popping up all over the place in Circular Quay<\/a>, especially when thousands of Sydney-siders descend on the waterfront to join an unauthorized Pok\u00e9mon Go Walk. Thousands turned up to spend the day playing the game together last week, with the Opera House \u2018gym\u2019 (gyms are spots where you can train or fight your Pok\u00e9mon) a big drawcard. There\u2019s plenty of other spots scattered around The Rocks and the Quay.<\/p>\n

Central Park, New York, United States<\/h2>\n

A popular tourist spot at the best of times, now expect the leafy footpaths of Central Park<\/a> to be crowded with locals and visitors alike. Now you will see Pok\u00e9mon Gyms, lures and plenty of Pidgey\u2019s flying around (in the game that is).<\/p>\n

State Library of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia<\/h2>\n

Pink petals are falling all over the place in the city \u2013\u00a0it\u2019s not actual leaves falling, it\u2019s just an abundance of Pok\u00e9mon! Sightseeing and Pok\u00e9mon Go can be an exhausting combination so take some time out and join the other players sitting on the library steps training up their Pok\u00e9mon. Don\u2019t forget to head inside to see real treasures like Ned Kelly\u2019s armour and death mask. If you’re keen for an extended stay, check into The Langham Hotel<\/a>\u00a0where they’ve got a cute Clefairy in their lobby!\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>
\n<\/p>\n

Big Ben or Savoy Hotel, London, United Kingdom<\/h2>\n

Is Big Ben a Pok\u00e9mon gym? You betcha and that\u2019s not the only place. For a city littered with well-known historic buildings and monuments, almost every street corner is littered with Poke Stops. Another cool Poke Stop is\u00a0the Savoy Hotel<\/a>. Once you\u2019re here, you won\u2019t need to go far to collect Poke Balls.<\/p>\n

Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, United States<\/h2>\n

Old meets new at The Met<\/a>, New York City’s famous landmarks and we\u2019re not even talking about the thousands of artifacts inside. Here you\u2019ll find Zubats flying around ancient Roman sculptures, encyclopedic collections as well as antique weapons and armour from all around the world.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Colosseum, Rome, Italy<\/h2>\n

When in Rome you will not only spot the massive stone amphitheater known as The Colosseum<\/a>, but also Pikachu, Squirtle and Oddish. The city of Rome is crawling with Pok\u00e9mon as both the young and old of Rome have given into the craze! Visiting the Colosseum, you will be able to capture yourself Espeon, Umbreon and Makuhita just to name a few!<\/p>\n
