What's your favorite city to visit?
-
Of the "big three" in Western Europe (Paris, London, Rome), London is my favorite. Each of these towns is full of history, but London has this special vibrancy that the other two lack. But I love all three.
Munich is the city in Germany I like best (as long as one avoids Oktoberfest and Hofbräuhaus). Great cultural program. Clean, organized. Great piano shops
I have a knack for Budapest. Very welcoming city. Affordable, too.
I love Istanbul, too. So much to see. Great food.
I love sitting in a cafe in Vienna, or visiting graveyards there.
In North America, I guess Vancouver might be my favorite town, especially if you include the surroundings into the assessment. The "sea to sky" highway is amazing. Whether you like beach, the sea, the mountains, forests, wild nature, or urban city life - everything is close by in BC.
You hit my European favorites: Munich, Vienna, and Budapest. Haven't been to Prague, but I have heard many good things about it, too.
In the USA, I love wherever my kiddo is, and I love my corner of Minnesooooota. We have great local food, live theater, live music, outdoor concerts, great outdoor recreation with rivers and streams, biking trails, walking and hiking trails, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, snowmobiling.
Portland has lots of good restaurants, local breweries and distilleries, unique shops, music and performance venues, and Powell's bookseller.
Claremont, CA is fun, too, but much smaller.
Grand Marais, MN is a great location on the North Shore. -
Cincinnati is my favorite city to visit. Because visiting means I don’t have to live in that Godforsaken place. From the moment I arrive, I can begin to anticipate leaving!

Eh, Hofbräuhaus isn’t that bad. The food is tasty and the beer is better than Paulaner, IMO.. And at that, even Paulaner is better than what we have in the US.

New York for me is home and the absolute best city in the world. Nothing compares.
Having said that, I would list; of places that I have been and spent considerable time,
Rome
Paris
London
AmsterdamThere are cities i have not been to, which I’m sure I would love, I haven’t been to the Scandinavian capitals except Helsinki and would love to go.
having said that, the only other American city I truly enjoy is San Francisco. Otherwise I find American cities so monolithic and similar, with the same national chains, the same food, the same everything.
I’ve been to so many medical conferences and often enough I awake in an American hotel and I have to remember what city I’m in because they all seem the same to me. -

New York, Chicago, San Francisco are great choices. The big ones in Texas don’t do much for me. New Orleans is a great choice and so is Boston. Seattle is cool.
Internationally, I’d go with Paris first (never gets old), Tokyo is amazing...some of the other cities are great launching points, like Rome. I’ve been to London too many times to look forward to it.
My trip style these days however is to explore smaller and more remote places.
