Wonderful Cities of the World

Cape Town was beautiful, before 1990, since then, it has gone backwards fast. I thought Bruges, stunk to high heaven. The part I was in did.

I agree with Rome and Edinburgh, two cities that I have had the pleasure of walking around on my own and so had time to soak it all in with no one else to consider.
London comes high but having worked there and lived close all my life I take it for granted and a lot passes me by.
I really loved Granada and hope to visit Seville soon spurred by your recommendations.

Aren't we lucky to live so close to so many wonderful places?

Lived in Rome for three years and since then have visited other cities but nothing beats it. Vibrancy, culture, people, food the list is endless. Crowded and hot in summer. Magical in the winter

Edinburgh and Venice.

I think there's some of that sweet rum left in the bottle. I'll be settling down with that tonight

Oh, I forgot Havana! I loved it there.

Elisbon. Listed top and n European cities to visit.

I love cities.

Big boys: New York, Istanbul, Beijing, and London (good job as I live here)

Also .... Seville, Savannah, Lucerne, Amsterdam, Lisbon

I could go on and on - so hard to choose, like Desert Island Discs!

It's got to be Edinburgh, it's not called the Athens of the North for nothing. Other favourites are Bath, Durham, Seville, Florence, New York and San Francisco.

Have to think about European Cities, Stockholm is the Venice of the North, and Capital of where I live, Paris is lovely, and further afield Sydney of course.
Home favourites, Cambridge,York, London, and top favourite, Liverpool, were I grew up.

Hated Sydney- too busy and hot when we were there! Loved Melbourne and Perth. Back home it's London, I never tire of visiting different parts. Was in the British Museum area the other day at grandson's graduation and I'd forgotten all the lovely little leafy squares!

Mine is Lisbon. Love the winding streets of the Alfama and Bairro Alto plus the wonderful views over the Tagus River. The fresh fish is delicious and the wine too.

Glad to hear that Blinko as of to visit there in a couple of weeks time!

Rome for me. Off next week for 26th time. I could stay forever.

Can't wait to visit Prague-hopefully in the next few weeks- as DGD just started working there. This thread is certainly whetting my appetite and confirming that the travel bug by which I was bitten fifty plus years ago is still active!

I do like Vancouver. The surrounding landscapes are fantastic, the people are so friendly and the architecture quite splendid.

It looks as though I really need to go to Seville though...

Oh, I love a city break! My favourite still is, and probably always will be, London, because it just has so much going on, so much history, and so many fascinating areas, each with its own character. Then New York, Paris, Hamburg, Florence, Cambridge, though I loved lots of those already mentioned. The ones that disappointed were Los Angeles (no character), Budapest (everyone seemed to be out to overcharge us) and Vienna (because I expected too much).

Do love going to London though only takes 20 minutes on the train from where I live.

Visited Rome and Paris love them both. Would like to go to Barcelona and Madrid

Paris! However, any city with mountains and water....Vancouver, Sydney, Cape Town, San Francisco. And the energy of New York City is awesome.

I like all cities for a visit but recently visited Porto - it is beautiful

Was just about to log in to say no-one has mentioned Prague! It is a beautiful city and I have family living there, so no question it is my favourite. Everyone I speak to who has visited tells me they loved it too.

Thank you jinglbellsfrocks, as I have a brother who now lives not far from Valencia,who wants me over, but first I was thinking of replacing my highlights of 1966 when I was in Jijona, San Juan etc.
