Athens vs Rome

I’ve spent a lot of time in both Athens and Rome. I love both cities. And I’m going to be honest with you upfront: there’s no wrong answer here. Both are extraordinary places with thousands of years of history, incredible food, and the kind of atmosphere you can’t find anywhere else. But they’re very different. And depending on what you want from a trip — what you eat, how you spend your evenings, how much you want to spend, what kind of history excites you — one will suit you better than the other.
