You'll have a hard time finding many other objects with the instant "Wow!" factor to rival Saturn and Jupiter, but don't stop looking yet!
Definitely start with the Messier and Caldwell lists - and if you're new to using a telescope, start with the brightest objects (i.e. those with the smallest magnitude number) that are high in your local sky, as these will generally be the easiest finds. Some are bound to become favourites that you will regularly re-visit, and as you start to tick off the easiest objects, you will enjoy the challenge of finding the fainter targets that are at the limits of your telescope's ability to see.
If you have a planetarium app (like SkySafari etc), in addition to having a database of Messier, Caldwell, NGC, etc, most have a daily updated list of "Tonight's Best", which can be a really good way to identify some of the best targets.
