Rome
The light is verde (green). You step into the city street and find yourself stopped short by a speeding cycle. With your heart still racing from the near miss, you cross the street, walk a few blocks, and you're stopped short again by the unexpected sigh of an open ruin accented with fallen columns. There are many glorious sights that will stop you in your tracks as you wonder through Rome.

While the thought of exploring all of the options proffered by this vast city is more than a tad daunting, realize that most of the major sights are within walking distance of Stazione Termini, the central train station. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Piazza di Spagna and the Spanish Steps, Vatican City, the baths and piazzas, the coffee and the catacombs, basilicas and biscotti may make you teary with the sheer wonder of it all. You will treasure your time in the Eternal City; however momentary it may seem once you look back.
