Rome

First entry slot, then the Forum while tour groups are still at breakfast.

The only hour it belongs to you. Coin over the left shoulder, obviously.

Ivy-covered alleys, wine on church steps, carbonara where the waiter decides for you.

Spritz above the domes at golden hour — half the price of dinner, all the view.

The hill above Trastevere: all of Rome's domes in one panorama, cannon fires at noon.
