During the 19th century, most educated young men took the Grand Tour. Later, it became fashionable for young women, too. A trip to Italy with a spinster aunt as chaperone was part of a lady's education. Many of these sites are Victorian in nature, but some are contemporary and just fun. Others were chosen because they are interesting and educational. So relax and take Lisa's Grand Tour of the Internet.
