Rome, Italy

For a thousand years, Rome was the center of Western civilization. Just skimming the highlights absorbs several days. The Trevi Fountain, St. Peters Basilica & the Vatican Museums, The Colosseum, and so many more treasures of ancient Rome. Yet you wouldn't want to miss places like Via Veneto. Via Veneto was the home of "La Dolce Vita" (The sweet life) in the 50's, fell to a grimy low in the early 90's, and is once again a playground for celebrities.
