Yeah I can totally see why Americans and Canadians like coming to Europe for that reason. Aside from the history and the grand old architecture I didn't feel anything in Rome, i thought the place had no soul to it. It was JUST the old tourist things that were there, not much else. The most disappointing parts were the Colosseum, and the Vatican. Way too touristy. I didn't find anything surprising in Rome. The Spanish steps were nice, but I kinda knew they were there.
Now, Barcelona....that is some City.
