Go back in time—then go back further. London and Paris were great world powers for hundreds of years; their historical significance resonates in Westminster Abbey and the Arc de Triomphe. In Rome and Athens, ancient civilizations laid the foundation for Western culture. You can still walk past the very spots where it all happened, from the political epicenters of Rome to the classical temples of Greece.
