Brandenberg Gate, Germany

It underwent an extensive renovation in the early 2000s, and is now a superb sight among the more modern buildings of the German capital.
Tuscany, Italy
Renaissance art, towns atop the gentle curve of well-tended pastures, cypress trees lilting in the breeze… there is a reason is coveted. Its Val d’Orcia has saved a thousand picture editors in need of a seductive shot to illustrate European holidays: its rolling hills and hamlets have become the Italy of postcards – but only because it is so downright idyllic.
