Rome, Italy
Rome: Is monumental in so many ways. First, and you can not overlook the Vatican and the beginning of christianity. Then, Rome is monumental as center of Roman civilization--here you have the games at the colosseum, politics at the Roman Forum and Roman architecture -- aquaducts. Rome is a city to walk from Navona Square, throw a coin in the Trevi Fountain and stroll the alleys of Trastevere.
