Trieste, Italy.
Less crowded than the usual tourist traps, two big castles, Roman ruins, loads of churches and museums, one of the stops on the Simpson Orient Express, and within spitting distance of the world's largest tourist accessible underground cave (Grotta Gigante, go Google it, click images, and weep).

Washington, D.C.
Many people on this thread have already waxed lyrical about how great this place is. Just be aware that there are way too many one way streets there, and that the food is phenomenal.

Venice, Italy.
Where to start? Oh, first, be aware that in a good many films supposedly set in Venice, Venice itself gets swapped out for another European city with canals in it. (The near constant influx of tourist foot traffic is the reason.) If you like fish, Carnevale masks, marbled paper, lace, watercolors, al fresco dining, medieval festivals, stupidly tame pigeons everywhere, art exhibits out the ying yang, and glass reengineered to heights you have never even dreamed of, you should go to Venice.

Switzerland
The most ecologically clean place I've ever visited in my life. (I'd almost live there for that reason alone.) Dairy products to die for, vertigo inducing views of the Alps, internationally renowned ski slopes, great design scene, lots of small little places that feel like your very own, and indescribably pretty spring flowers that dot the landscape, cloth goods, and local sweaters.

Ugh, autocorrect.
I meant Simplon Orient Express.

SA again.

Just wikipedia'd Grotta Gigante.
FYI, it's now the second biggest tourist cave in the world.

Ahahah, yeah when I lived near DC I always rode the Metro in to avoid trying to drive there. I drove into town once in six years there and it was on Thanksgiving Day to visit my cousin and have dinner with him and his friends. The place was deserted. I got parking on the street right outside of his building. It was glorious.
