If you can only see one city in Europe, see Rome. If you have time to see two cities, spend it all in Rome. The Eternal City may no longer be the capitol of the world, but for nearly 3,000 years it has been one of the dominant cultural and political forces of Europe. From the monuments of antiquity to the fountains of the Renaissance to the film studios and chic cafes, Rome is as hip today as it always has been.
