6. ROME

The Colosseum, the Forum, the Capitoline Museums, St. Peter’s, Santa Maria la Maggiore, the Vatican Museums, the Pantheon, the Castel Sant’Angelo, the Circo Massimo … Rome is a huge outdoor history museum. Eternal, monumental, filmed, photographed, the capital of an empire of more than two thousand years ago is one of those essential destinations to see before dying.
