Venice

More later, but suffice it to say that Venice may be touristy and cliched and overpriced and impossible to navigate with a stroller (all of those countless bridges over the canals consist of steps rather than gentle slopes--it's like the anti-Amsterdam in that regard)...but we absolutely loved it. I would never want to go during a peak tourist time (like, say, from March to October or during Carnevale), but we would absolutely recommend it to almost everyone (NOTABLE EXCEPTIONS: those who need a wheelchair or crutches to get around, or those who are prone to seasickness--it's almost impossible to visit Venice without ending up on a boat at least once) during less crowded times of the year.
