What visitor to Europe, hoping to see? Museums and art galleries? Beaches, mountains and beautiful landscapes? Important historical monuments dating back hundreds, even thousands of years?
All this, no doubt, because Europe is a treasure trove includes all this and more. But assuming you have some time to visit and want to see as much as possible, what we should include? What follows is a brief list of just five points missed:
The Colosseum in Rome
Point the capital of Italy and you'll be almost overwhelmed by a series of historical monuments in the city center, the area's foremost Roman Forum. A little 'separated from the Forum stands the greatest of all Roman monuments - the Colosseum.
Although it is impossible to imagine the brutality of the tournaments that took place here, we can always impressed by the engineering feat for such a striking building that will be built, and the size and scale of the monument.
Italian Coast
Leaving behind ancient history for some time, explore the Italian coast. Two options stand out from many opportunities - from the coast north of fishing villages, a group known as the Cinque Terre and the Amalfi coast to Sorrento. The first is the beautiful harbor and architecture, and is a wonderful place to wander, while the second is one of the most beautiful coastal roads are in Europe.
Many of the places you'll see the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It is perhaps the most beautiful building in the world, it deserves attention that the building most instantly recognizable in France, if not the world. Originally built in a temporary structure, now is as much a permanent part of the Paris Arc de Triomphe and the Champs Elysees.
And while the Eiffel Tower itself does not deserve to be in the "top five in Europe" list, the city of Paris as a whole certainly did.
Dordogne
One of the most interesting for lovers of medieval history, the Dordogne is the border between the British and French during the Middle Ages, and each of the many castles built along the border to defend their territory.
The limit is now gone, of course, after Joan of Arc led France to victory in the Hundred Years War, but the castles and the history of return and the Dordogne is a fascinating area to explore.
Summary
It is impossible, of course, to begin to scratch the surface of a continent for the election of five locations - up to fifty points is not enough. But the visit of the above and at least feel that you have an idea, however small, or what Europe really is.
