You can pop into a cafe or convenience store and walk out to a beautiful and interesting sight. When I'm there I always find myself being so jealous that Europeans have that kind of beauty in their everyday life; and I'm sure most of them probably don't actively think about it or reflect on it in that way, but there's something to be said for having history and beauty and awesomeness integrated into your consciousness (of subconsciousness, such as it is) because its ever-present.
