My version of heaven looks very much like Lucca.  It is a charming city with a divine wall encircling gorgeousness.  When Napoleon took over Italy he was enchanted with Lucca and decided to give it to his sister - thoughtful, no?  Luckily she appreciated this token of brotherly love and protected the city's charm.
The charm really starts with the wall.  It is 5 km in circumference and is wide enough to drive on... but no one does that.  All they do is bike on the wall.  It's fantastic.  I could stay up there all day.  There are great views into and outside the city.  And who doesn't love a little bike ride?
