[NNadir]

32. Certainment. It's the second best city in the world...

[Flaxbee]

2. I love Helsinki. But St. Petersburg, London, and Florence Italy

are also pretty wonderful. Moscow's a lot of fun, too. Never been to Paris, so I can't say... I'd love to go, though. (Edited to add photos)

[EFerrari]

39. I loved all the little places in Florence. It was very easy to be there.

:)

[GreenPartyVoter]

3. Paris, Quebec City, And D.C.

[Moondog]

4. Depending on my mood -

London, Copenhagen, Vienna, Prague, or Florence

[Sequoia]

5. Santa Monica, CA

[Eyerish]

6. It's a tossup between London, Amsterdam & Moscow

My next trip overseas will be to Denmark. I've been wanting to go to Copenhagen for years.

[_dynamicdems]

7. Washington, DC. n/t

[AllegroRondo]

8. Oslo was wonderful. So was Edinburgh

tough choice. Or Vienna! how could i forget Vienna.

[NightWatcher]

9. either Koln, Brugges, or Amsterdam

I wish I could get back there someday

[armyowalgreens]

10. San Francisco or NYC.

[KamaAina]

36. Megadittos, but throw in New Orleans.

:beer:

[JTG of the PRB]

11. Las Vegas, baby!

I would love to go to Vegas 2-3 times a year if I could afford it. For me, it's a place to unwind, see the sights, and enjoy the equivalent of a giant sandbox for adults.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. Amsterdam! Best pub-crawling in the world.

[Throd]

13. Segovia, Spain

[Brigid]

22. Oh, cool!

Must visit! Please tell us more! :bounce:

[Brigid]

23. delete

wrong place

[Throd]

27. It has a lot to offer at a very managable size.

I loved the medieval cobblestone streets with all the bars and bodegas.

The Alcazar is a must see for any castle enthusiast.

The cathedral is immense and awe inspiring.

There is a giant Roman aqueduct in amazing condition.

Lots of art galleries.

The people are very friendly.

So much history in one place.

All of this surrounded by some breathtaking countryside.

If I ever move outside the USA it will be there.

[Brigid]

29. Sounds wonderful.

I must indeed visit someday. :)

[bigwillq]

14. NYC (nt)

[bamacrat]

15. Tie between NYC and NOLA. n/t

[abq e streeter]

16. Santa Fe--unique and beautiful , even if a little too 'touristy"

[grace0418]

17. It's a tie between Paris and Barcelona for me.

In the US, it's a tie between San Francisco, NYC and Portland, OR

[CrownPrinceBandar]

18. I'd have to say New Orleans.........

with London a close second.

[WinkyDink]

20. Paris and London.

[sarge43]

21. London

"When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life." Samuel Johnson

[RebelOne]

52. Another London fan here. I've been to many big cities, but love London. n/t

[sarge43]

55. Yeah, Old Sam summed it.

You could spend a lifetime in that city and not experience all its riches.

[Brigid]

24. I liked Tucson, AZ.

But I last visited years ago. Maybe it's changed.

[Xipe Totec]

25. Guanajuato, Mexico

[santamargarita]

34. Yes, me too

[distantearlywarning]

26. Gotta be Paris.

I cried when I had to get on the plane to come home.

[snappyturtle]

28. Well it's not quite a city but Zermatt, Switzerland....heaven. nt

[carpetbagger]

30. Seattle

I always feel like I'm 21 again when I go there. I listen to the end and kexp on streaming, my sucky college town doesn't even have an alternative radio station unless the antenna is just right to get Jacksonville reception. I interviewed for a job in Eugene two years ago, and almost went for an interview in Vancouver WA. I'm happy to be in Florida for a number of reasons, but living in the NW is one of the things that's still on my list of things I'd like to do someday, although it will probably never happen.

Disclaimer: I've lived in a few cool cities in my life, NYC, Chicago, Miami, Houston, San Antonio, DC, and not so cool (sorry those of you from Baltimore and Jacksonville), so I didn't consider them.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

57. Wow.

Baltimore and Jacksonville are two of my favorite cities. Not kidding. I like cities that don't try to be pretentious and showy.

But I guess we all have our own opinions.

[carpetbagger]

69. I think some of it was my experiences in those places.

In Jacksonville, in the late 70s, I was the only kid in my class born north of the Mason-Dixon line. I was a complete outsider. In Baltimore, I just never liked the class divisions, and I lived downtown, which made life difficult, and my grad-school years were rough anyway, personally and professionally.

I don't like the pretentious and showy (I hate L.A., Dallas, and Atlanta), but the cities I like the best have a vibrant alternative subculture, good parks and museums, and they tend to be populated by somewhat nerdy types. That's Seattle. That's why I live in a college town, although I currently, for the first time in 13 years, don't have an academic affiliation and appointment.

[liberaltrucker]

31. Denver....ALWAYS.....Denver

Gawd,I love that town. Especially during the NFL season.

:party:

[elifino]

33. My favorite Lens France

[Roon]

35. Boulder,Colorado

Love that town.

[Vidar]

37. Venice. It seems to float on its canals.

[EFerrari]

38. Hard to pick. Vienna is awesome, food, art, everything. Chicago

was beautiful -- I didn't spend much time there but it would be great to do a nice long crawl. NOLA, well, was instant "home" but I'm afraid to go back at this point. :(

[MorningGlow]

40. London. Bath. York. (Anglophile? Who, me?)

:evilgrin:

Stateside, New Orleans and San Francisco.

[jimspeer]

44. One who is tired of London is tired of life.

So said Dr. Johnson.

[Chan790]

41. That's unfair...

I loved NYC so much that I moved here 9 months ago. I'll never move away. It's paradise.

[BarenakedLady]

42. Schwäbisch Hall, Germany

The town where my Nana grew up. Love, love, loved it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schw%C3%A4bisch_Hall

[SeattleGirl]

43. Victoria, B.C.

Beautiful city.

[City Lights]

45. London and Montreal.

Edinburgh is not far behind.

[DFW]

46. Three way tie

København (Copenhagen), Prague and Barcelona

Luckily for me, I live an hour's flight from København, 70 minutes from Prague, and 100 minutes from Barcelona.

Officially, I live in Dallas, but I'm there less than Bill Clinton is in Chappaqua.

[Lindsey]

47. I haven't travelled internationally hardly at all so I'm prettty

limited in my scope. I love San Francisco and Van Couver in Canada.

[DFW]

65. I like San Francisco, too, don't know Vancouver

I also like Boston and Washington, DC in North America.

But I have been working overseas for 30 years now, am married to a European, and we live in a very central part of the
continent, so it isn't very long a flight to anywhere. As a teenager, I lived in Barcelona, Spain for a while, went back
several times since. It's more crowded now, but still an amazing place. Prague is mesmerizing, and Scandiavia is truly
a string of cities of beauty, from Bergen to Oslo to Stockholm to København. My own adopted town of Düsseldorf has its
charm as well, but I'm just too familiar with the place to gush about it. Same goes for the cities I enjoy but am in
several times a month for work, such as München ("Munich"), Paris and Brussels.

[LostInAnomie]

48. Call me crazy, but I really liked Chattanooga.

[JCMach1]

49. Bern, Geneva, Luxembourg City

[anneboleyn]

50. San Francisco and London and Edinburgh.

[SwissTony]

51. Probably a few surprises on my list...

Glasgow - I was born there, left at the age of 10 (48 years ago), been back several times. Not the prettiest city, but the best people. It helps (perhaps) that I still speak the language. It still feels like home.

Barcelona - nothing more can be said.

Munich - ditto.

Rome - ditto times 2.

Bristol (Eng)- don't know why...harbour, steep hills, great people...

Rotterdam - less traditional than Amsterdam (the Germans bombed the shit out of it and much of it had to be rebuilt). I lived south of RDAM for 17 years and love the place...it's the world's biggest port (depending on your definition), brilliant people and great memories such as jumping up in down in the Kuip supporting Feyenoord, feeling the whole stand move with every jump.

Adelaide - grew up there. All the advantages of a big city with all the advantages of a small town.

Edited to add London. How could I forget London???????? And Chipping Sodbury. Although I've never been to Chipping Sodbury...I just love the name.

[nuxvomica]

53. Venice, Italy

A magical city of mazes where every square looks different from one hour to the next. I have never been so happy to be so hopelessly lost in a city.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

54. New York, Seattle, Ottawa, Singapore City

Sydney

[Tommy_Carcetti]

56. If you include smaller cities--St. Augustine, Florida

If you mean only as to large cities, I'll have to say Baltimore, even if I didn't view it as a tourist but more from going there every week to visit my grandparents. It's not perfect, it's not flashy, it doesn't try to be New York, but it sure has a lot of character.

I like Jacksonville, too. Honestly. It's an underrated city.

[ohiosmith]

58. Vienna, Paris, Dublin, Sydney.

[Burma Jones]

59. New York City.........

Accept no substitutes.

I do, though, really really love SF and Quebec City......

[Blue_Tires]

60. wherever that 727 is going...

no seriously...for me it's a tie between Kansas City and Providence...

[bikebloke]

61. Christchurch, New Zealand

If I could've found a way to stay there legally, that's the city I'd live in.

[smirkymonkey]

62. It's too hard to pick just one!

Mine are:

Vienna
Budapest
Prague
London
Florence
Brugge, Belgium
Strausburg (sp?) France
Paris

But mostly I loved the little, out of the way towns - off the beaten path!

[applegrove]

63. Paris or Amsterdam. Vancouver or Halifax.

[mvd]

64. I loved Chicago

For a big city, the accommodations were great. Just a really enchanting city. Philly and its suburbs have some nice things about them, but my experiences with the people haven't been so good.

[Capn Sunshine]

66. Victoria, BC

Vancouver is a close 2nd


Mexico City , booyah (!horale!)


San Isidro, Costa Rica- also v/nice


San Francisco. I love it

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

67. Paris, Salzburg, Munich

I'm looking forward to London soon.

[madamesilverspurs]

68. Pt. Townsend, Washington

[BlueJazz]

70. Paris...where almost nothing is like America

[Skittles]

71. I like Chicago

awesome skyline, great people
