We saw Orion's Belt very clearly when we were in Spain and we made out the other stars forming the constellation.

When I can do this I can wow my Dad when I visit and use his fancy new telescope, which is so big that he's had to move it into a room all by itself! Also I will always know which way is North, when I can identify the Plough/Big Dipper.
List of constellations
Each culture has its own constellations, usually based on mythology. This article covers the 88 constellations used in modern astronomy, which properly speaking are not patterns of stars, as in the common use of the word, but areas of the sky. The ancient Babylonians, and later the Greeks (as recorded by Ptolemy), established most of the northern constellations in international use today.
