Westminster Abbey: Founded in 960 AD, this church has been hosting royal weddings for the last nine centuries. It’s a stone’s throw from Big Ben and the River Thames. Paris The Eiffel Tower: Despite being called a “truly tragic street lamp” when it was built, the tower now stands among the world’s most famous attractions—and a great place to take in panoramic views of the City of Light. Musée d’Orsay: Home to an impressive collection of impressionistic art, including Édouard Manet’s Le Déjeuner sur l’Herbe and Olympia Champs-Élysées: One of the world’s most iconic thoroughfares. Cafés, cinemas, and luxury shops pepper the pedestrian-friendly street between major architectural sites, such as the Luxor Obelisk and Arc de Triomphe. Brussels Walk to Cardinal Mercierstraat to see colorful gardens in Market Square, the soaring grey spires of Gothic churches, and other historical monuments. La Grand-Place: The city’s main square hosts a daily flower market and live concerts. A festively lit tree takes center stage at Christmastime. The Atomium: This massive edifice was No. 1 on CNN’s list of Europe’s most bizarre buildings. Shaped like a molecular structure, it has five elevated spheres that you can enter for a far-reaching view of the city. Munich Marienplatz has served as the heart of Munich since the Middle Ages. Peer up at the New Town Hall, a stunning example of Gothic Revival architecture. Grab a stein of beer at Hofbräuhaus, one of Munich’s oldest breweries. It was built by a Bavarian duke in 1589. Florence Michelangelo’s David is on display at the Galleria dell’Accademia. After taking in the lifelike musculature of this 14-foot-tall white marble masterpiece, check out the artist’s unfinished Prisoners sculptures. A hop-on, hop-off bus tour is any easy way to reach top attractions, including the Duomo cathedral and Piazzale Michelangelo, arguably the best spot to get a snapshot of the city. Rome See the Colosseum: Built in AD 72, this amphitheater hosted some of the Roman Empire’s bloodiest gladiator battles. Stroll around the outside to get a feel for its massive size. Tour Vatican City: The expansive gardens alone are reason enough to visit. Perhaps the main draw, though, is the Sistine Chapel, whose famous ceiling was painted by Michelangelo. St. Peter’s Basilica: Also in Vatican City, the world’s largest Christian church can hold up to 60,000 people. It houses work by Michelangelo and Bernini. Barcelona Picasso Museum: With 4,251 paintings, this museum houses the world’s most extensive collection of art by Pablo Picasso, including the entire 58-painting Las Meninas collection. Witness history in the making at La Sagrada Familia, a whimsical Antoni Gaudí–designed church that has slowly taken shape over 130 years; it’s estimated to be finished—finally—by 2026. Eat like a local: Fresh mussels, fried calamari, and shrimp paella are staples here. Pair your favorite dish with a glass of cava, Spain’s take on champagne. Frequently Asked Questions 1.
