What are your favorite cities?

[WelshWitchPMD]

Well, mine are all in the USA because I have never been anywhere else yet.

1. New York City- So many things to see and do there. I love the energy of the city.

2. Boston, MA- Has a lot to offer too but has somehow been able to keep a bit of it's old world charm.

3. Philadelphia, PA- Proximity has a lot to do with this choice, too. Believe it or not it is cheaper for me to fly there then take the train to NYC. I haven't seen that much of it but I hope to next time.

4. Las Vegas- Love the desert. So many things to see and do and I don't even gamble.

5. Phoenix- The desert again!

6. New Orleans, LA- I have only spent a day and a half there and mostly on a Sunday evening so I did not see much of it. I did like what I did see except for passing by Bourbon St. on the airport shuttle. That's not my scene. The rest of the city seemed intriguing.



I won't name the cities that I do not care for, however.

Cities that I would like to see:

US:
San Francisco, CA
St. Louis, MO
Seattle, WA
Dallas, TX
Houston, TX
Albuquerque, NM
Minneapolis-St. Paul MN
Nashville, TN

I am sure that I am forgetting someplace.

I would love to visit just about anyplace in Europe! I guess that London, Paris and Rome would be my top 3 for now.

i'd definitely go with Amsterdam.
i've been there again 2 weeks ago, and let me tell you, if i had the money i'd go there at lesat twice a year, even while its freezing winter. other than the fact that i adore this city's outstanding beauty, i love its spirit of freedom, and of course the menus in the coffeeshops are more than pleasing.

honorary mentions go for NYC, London, Budapest (Hungary) and Haad Rin (Thailand).

having said that...Whangarei in Northland (NZ) is a fav with me (nice and small..only 38,000 folks, last time I was there...)Nice marina, good shops, close to a couple of beaches and above all...nice and WARM (unlike here right now...snow)

I really enjoyed Phoenix when I was there last year. I'm going to explore more of that this June. Key West is loads of fun. But somewhat miserable, because when I went, it was over 100 degrees. Nashville is fun, very interesting city. There are people out on the streets playing guitar or fiddle for money. It's pretty alive at night. Chicago is spectacular.

in no particular order:
1) San Francisco (I love the fog there, and the air of mystery and adventure down by the wharf area)
2) Berkeley (once upon a time it was the hub of liberal activism, its now just a yuppie college town but I like it anyway)
3) Chico (Berkeley's little brother, its a college town that chews tobacco but its also very pretty)
4) the town I live in now! Magalia, in the mountains, its like summercamp 24/7 which is the best! I love the fog, and the snow, and the sunny days too!

If I ever traveled out of CA, I think I'd like to canvass the British Isles from one end to the other.

- San Francisco (would love to go back one time)
- London (was wonderful at christmas)
- Amsterdam (great at any time)
- Groningen Seems like it's the odd one out in this list, certainly in size, but I love my hometown anyway.

Cities I would like to visit: hmm.. the main one I can think of now is New York. Well, Dublin too, Prague.

I've never been out of Europe so my choice is somewhat limited.

I would say my favourite city is Paris. Sitting in a sidewalk cafe watching the world go by. Bliss.

Honourable mentions to Marseille, London and Barcelona.

Amsterdam. The people were very cool to this American tourist. I was there in early June and the weather was beautiful...just sitting under the trees by the canal...drinking coffee... et al...

I have to say I loved London as well. I was there for six months and almost didn't come back. I swear at night you can just feel the history of the city as you walk around the streets. And again...WONDERFUL people.

My first weekend we (the American students) went to this club in Camdentown to see Wolfie...can't remember...ANYWAY some of the locals started talking me up and invited to take me around town with them. I dropped the Americans like a bad habit and spent the weekend with my new friends! They just opened up their homes to me and let me stay wherever I could find space! They also all belonged to motorcycle clubs, so I got to do a lot of cruising around on the back of a mortorcycle!

I'll also mention Edinburgh (sp?)...speaking of deeply historical! What a cool moody city!

Also all of the above cities have cool artistic legacies...

[skcin]

Toronto - Just a really cool place.

Phili - Historic but current at the same time. Loved it!

Las Vegas - So much to see & do.

Varna, Bulgaria - Beautiful, right on the sea.

[GypsySorcerer]

-London
-Los Angeles
-Phoenix
-Chicago

I haven't visited many cities, so I don't have many to pick from. Alot of them are little hole in the wall cities like Moline IL. I would have to say Chicago. I had a damn good time there! I would like to go to Seattle. I hear it's an amazing city, tons to do, and a young crowd.
