Paris
Paris has too many Places to visit to mention...Some of our favorites: 

Eiffel Tower
"Daring and sublime; iron reborn as lace."—Mosaic artist Sharon Tompkins. Tip: go at night to avoid the crowds (open until 11:45 p.m., 12:45 a.m. in summer), see 20,000 flashing lights switched on the first ten minutes of every hour at night.

Louvre
One of the world's greatest art collections; old master paintings, renowned collections of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Etruscans, Greeks; tapestries, jewels. Tip: avoid the long lines around the I.M. Pei Pyramid: there are three other entrances;

Notre Dame
Paris's splendid Gothic cathedral begun in 1163 (and finished 87 years later); sculpted doors; huge 13th-century southern rose window; flying buttresses; grand organ that plays every Sunday afternoon at 4:30 except during Lent. Fee for 255-step climb up bell tower for city view.


Rome

Pantheon
"A magical space, expansive, evocative, and peaceful."—Ann Wise, Rome-based journalist. Rome's most intact ancient monument; a massive sphere designed as a pagan temple by Emperor Hadrian in A.D. 125; remained the world's largest concrete dome until the 1990s; houses the tombs of painter Raphael and 19th-century Italian king Vittorio Emanuele II.

Vatican
 "A major concentration of world art in one of the world's smallest sovereign states; don't miss the tomb of St. Peter, under the Basilica."—Ann Natanson. Seat of the Catholic religion. Highlights include St. Peter's Basilica, with its "Pietà" by Michelangelo; a lifetime's worth of masterpieces in the Vatican Museums, from Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel to Raphael's masterpiece The School of Athens; and papal tombs


Berlin

Checkpoint Charlie
Engaging private museum brings alive political tensions of the Cold War with Berlin as its focal point; includes tales of spectacular escapes from East to West; adjacent to the famous border crossing itself.

Potsdamer Platz
 “A smorgasbord of international architectural creativity on the site of Berlin’s Cold War ground zero.”—Damien Simonis. New urban district where Berlin Wall once stood; theaters, hotels, bars, shops, and museums.


Tuscany

San Gimignano - San Gimignano is a charming hill town of 7000 inhabitants, which has preserved its medieval appearance more completely than any other town in Tuscany stands 334 mts above the sea level on the site of a small Etruscan settlement dating from the Hellenistic period (third to second BC). Its history begins around the Tenth Century.

Montalcino -This small town (567m, pop 5030) is situated on a hill covered with olive groves and the famous Brunello vineyards dominating the Asso, Ombrone and Arbia valley, a must is to visit the local wineries.  Make it a point to stop by La Togata Winery, one of MDM's Wines from Italy. 

Bagno Vignoni - This is a small spa (306m) of medieval origin, although it was already know in Roman times, the fascinating tiny village is clustered around a large pool closed on three sides by the town walls, one metre and a half tall whith water that flows at 52°.

Chiusi - Chiusi's origin dates back to the first millennium before Christ. In the 6th century B.C. Clevsin or Chamars (Chiusi's Etruscan names) was one of the 12 most im­portant cities in the Etruscan federation, and under King Porsenna Chiusi reached its peak when the Etruscans fought and defeated the Romans
