Rome.

I have always wanted to visit Rome and throw a coin into the Trevi fountain.
Rome is beautiful even though there was so much graffiti.
I really enjoyed the tour bus which stopped at all the major sites.
Later we found it would have been cheaper to buy a bunch of bus tickets which cost 1 euro each. These can be bought in advance and then validated when you ride on the bus. We tried to visit St. Peters on the Saturday but the queue was 4 hours so we tried agaon on the Tuesday and got straight in. It was free entry and was breathtaking. We went to the Sistene Chapel which was expensive at 13 euros as you got sent around the whole building up and down stairs into rooms with only a few things in and it took over an hour to get to the chapel even though we went at a quiet time.

Agree that Rome is great, we are just back from a holiday there in April, with a huge pile of photos to scrap now.
