Couple that with the atmosphere and the opportunity to see a number of things. There's lots of rather unique history - I saw that well when I was there, along with seeing it in tv shows and movies that were taken in other places in Europe. Then there's well developed mass-transit in case you needed it. Then add the thought of not have to be pressured by a time-table (three weeks definitely seemed not long enough to see and take it all in just where I was), and it seemed a winner to me.

The biggest challenge of doing it would be figuring out what to see and the places where they would be, along with item management (things you might obtain and want to keep, along with your regular items) and picture management (albeit easier with digital, I hit 300+ pictures easily for the 3 weeks I was there, I'd imagine much more if you were to see more).

I've had the thought with North America, too, but I'd imagine it would be a lot more of a challenge to find the interesting things and get places.
