I can certainly vouch for London. It’s expensive, certainly, but most of the museums are free to enter, the parks are wonderful and there’s brilliant street theatre in Covent Garden. No charge for that either. Hotels will be pretty expensive but serviced apartments London is another option or there’s always bed and breakfasts or hostels.
I haven’t been to Rome or Berlin but I have been to Barcelona and Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia was very memorable. I’d love to see it again as it was quite a few years ago that I went. It’s just amazing that it’s been in the works for so long.
