Rome - beautiful city with so much history. The Colosseum, the ruins of ancient Rome, fountains, beautiful architecture, nice museums and galleries, and little shops and cafes. The Vatican, a separate city-state a short walk from the centre of Rome, also has many tourist attractions, including St. Peter's basilica and the Sistine Chapel with the famous ceiling paintings, not to mention many museums.
There was one attraction in Rome that was completely unexpected. (Of course, I loved the Colosseum and St. Peter's and the Sistine Chapel; I expected them to be amazing.) The attraction that amazed me the most was the Trevi Fountain. To get to the fountain, you have to walk down a narrow street, which widens at the end into a square. The fountain is in this square, and it is much grander than expected.
