A follow on from the name your three favourite cities
(Which I found very hard as I have far more than three favourites)

Ipswich - one of my favourite U.K. hotels is on the marina, but the town - sorry I just don’t like it 🤷‍♀️

Cannes - over rated, over priced, overly pretentious €€€

Marbella - with all the wonderful places in Spain, why does this attract the so called celebs 💁‍♀️

I can see some hurt feelings ahead for GN residents of some of these places😲

A lot of them aren’t even cities.

Edinburgh, dislike the dark stone and weather.
Hate street theatre too.

I've heard Naples is awful. There are some nice old buildings, but evetything is covered in graffiti, the crime rate is high, rubbish is everywhere and it smells.

I was just wondering about that.
I think several are towns.

I love Naples!
Not a fan of Edinburgh or Stockholm...

Mons in Belgium. Dreary town with unfriendly unhelpful people.
Great Yarmouth.
Saltzburg - totally up it’s own backside.

Greyduster I forgot about Great Yarmouth 🤐 I think my mind has done me a great favour.

I was very sick in Florence and almost had a miscarriage in Rome. These 2 events rather put me off!

It goes to show how partial we are!
I adore Edinburgh so nowhere nearly matches up.
Surely it's not more expensive than London Silverlining?
After all, the museums and art galleries are free as are the wonderful Royal Botanic Gardens. I have been to Botanic Gardens the world over and Edinburgh has one of the very best.

Middlesborough and Riga.

Eurovision is open to members and associates of the European Broadcasting Union, hence Australia, Armenia and Russia, amongst others, are/were eligible.
