smiley - rofl depends.. I lived in Moscow for three years. And I've seen most sights worth seeing (and some that are not).
Usually on shorter trips (a week or less) you see the airport, the hotel, the taxi in between and the client company. full stop.
I spent all in all several weeks in Vienna, Madrid, ... and I wouldn't recognise any picture, tourist site, ... smiley - biggrin

smiley - bigeyes good question.. mmmmtricky.. I think I don't know.. well, in Moscow I think I saw most, although an organised tour of two weeks will probably show you more and other places than I visited.

other places..

I honestly don't know, most of the places I don't really know what to see, where to go, what to do.. smiley - erm I don't think I would ever be a good tourist

smiley - biggrin yes.. impressive! and the good thing about Rome is that almost everything worth seeing is in a rather small area.. all within walking distance.
Weather is .. important. Mid summer is definitely the wrong time smiley - biggrin early autumn or mid spring is probably better..
