1. Berlin, Germany - Tons of history, some of it very recent and palpable, and some going back to medieval times. World class museums, great dining and shopping. You get to see the clash, and the joining of two cultures. I’ve been there. I think the best thing about it is the living history.
2. Rome, Italy. Between the Roman sites, some in fantastic repair, from the Catecombs to the Colliseum to the Pantheon, and the Vatican, and the contemporary italian culture, Rome is an incredible place to visit. Expensive though. I’ve been there. I think the best thing is walking through the city - the switch from ancient to modern that happens all the time. Gelato is a big deal, too.
3. France outside of Paris - from the Chateaux in the Loire valley, to the caves of Champagne, to Alsace, to Nice and Arles, to justly famous Provence, France is simply beautiful. And the combination of food and wine and a culture of relaxation is beyond unbelievable. Paris is great, but the rest of France is just gorgeous. Been there.
4. Krakow - there are lots of beautiful cities formerly behind the Iron Curtain to visit, and Prague is almost notably beautiful (I believe, I have not been there) but if you can only do one, I pick Krakow specifically because nearby is Auschwitz. This is an incredibly important part of European History that everyone should try to get to. Genocide seems to become more and more a reality in our world, and we can’t stop it if we can’t understand it. The Auschwitz camps (there are two) represent practically the archetype of Genocide.
5. Greece - where democracy started. I have not been there, but I want to, preferably from the water.
