The premise is relatively simple. If you could get in a time machine and travel to any 3 cities in the world at any given point in time, which would you go to see for their structure, form, architecture, etc. and why?

For me, it would be as follows:

1. Tenochtitlan: 1450 AD
2. Derinkuyu (at it's peak population)
3. Rio de Janeiro: Early 19th Century
