Just about any place in Switzerland.

We really enjoyed Florence. Our whiparound trip was Rome, Florence, Venice, Munich, Berlin, Paris, London, with day trips to Cinque Terre, Murano/Burano, Normandy, Dachau, Piza, Stonehenge, Versailles. Obviously I can’t offer much help with smaller cities, but Florence was a nice break from the hustle of larger cities. Florence is much slower pace than the rest of our trip and ended up being one of our favorite spots. 3 nights gave us plenty of time to recharge while taking in the city.

We loved Florence as well. If one had never been there it'd certainly be a recommended place. It's amazing. More importantly, it's a great "base of operations" to explore the Tuscan countryside. We took tours in area. Enjoyed some of the wineries. Went to Siena (great town). San Gimignano was a great walled city. Monteriggioni as well. Didn't go to Lucca but heard that was beautiful as well.

Normandy and specifically Bayeux as a base while in the area
Loved the town of Bayeux. Good mom and pop restaurants.

Bayeux. I am going there for 5 days in April. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

My wife and I loved Krakow, Poland. Still feels like a Renaissance era city with a fantastic (if somewhat sobering) history. Honorable mention to Florence and Sienna, Italy.

Hands down my favorite place in Italy and all of Europe. Cinque terre Italy.

Sicily....from Taormina/Etna to Enna in the interior to the crazy dilapidated beauty of Palermo to the Tyrrhenian coast. Why it gets overlooked when people go nuts over Amalfi I do not understand.

Just got back from Portugal and would add Porto to the list. Charming, historic, reasonably priced. Great wine.
