Worst And Best Cities You've Visited.

[bennyboy]

I agree. I love Paris too, which seems to be on many shit lists here.

Probably posted this elsewhere on the thread but my favourites would be Prague, Olomouc, pretty much any Italian city and Madrid, Cordoba, and Granada. Also quite like Split, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Bangkok. Probably loads of others which I have forgotten too.

Mumbai is the only city (off the top of my head) that I didn't like much but did find some lovely restaurants there.

I love Paris for the art galleries.
The only reason I visit the place.
I can remember the first time I arrived at Paris Gare du Nord the racial tension shocked me.
I also found some of the elderly locals to be the most rudest and unhelpful people I have met on my travels.
I also wonder what tourists think of Glasgow on old firm day.I would imagine if you had no idea what it is all about it would leave an everlasting impression on you.Not a good one.

Coventry is not a nice place

I got sent there once. No one would talk to me.

 

[Bozzie]

Really liked:
Barcelona, San Diego, Sydney, Rome, London, Seville
Didn’t particularly like:
Madrid, Auckland, Amsterdam, Vegas
Ok:
NY, Melbourne, Moscow, San Fran
Strangest place was Christchurch. A city abandoned by the government, felt like a ghost town and literally had tumbleweed blowing down the streets.

 

[BimboBob]

Hated Vegas. Horrible plastic place. No idea why I went back.

 

[Nethermoor]

Like: Manchester, London, Edinburgh Barca, Bordeaux
Dislike: Glasgow, Birmingham

 

[Koniec]

worst by a mile. Belgrade. The city, the locals, the hospital and medics. Horrific.

It’s tough not to like a city. Most have some redeeming features. Even Dundee.

Stretching it there mate! Broughty ferry is a nice place though.
Prefer Aberdeen slightly but neither as bad as Birmingham

23 Pages and no mention of Derby as a worst city? Totally non-descript place full of knuckle draggers with a Nottingham inferiority complex.

Someone mentioned New Orleans earlier as one of the best. Whilst there are a couple of nice districts, garden district around the Universities is nice, since Katrina it is dying fast and dodgy as fook in many places

Very true. You don't have to stray far from Bourbon Street to increase your chances of getting murdered.

Aberdeen is a dull grey miserable place. Breaks my heart my nieces were born there. The language barrier can be an issue. “fit like whurs ma rowies min”. Much preferable place to Glasgow though.

Bit of a let-down : Milan, and I usually love Italy.

I agree. I wouldn't call it a dump but there's not much there apart from the cathedral, some very nice restaurants and unaffordable high end shops.

 

[beehive_bob]

Best: New York, Madrid, Barcelona, Berlin, Hamburg, Budapest, Krakow, Edinburgh, Oxford, York

Can't say I dislike many cities, though the sheer chaos and uncleanliness of Cairo is worth a mention.

Paris is a weird one, some parts of it are right up there with anything but other parts....aren't.

Best… between New York, Hong Kong, Singapore or Napier
Worst… Marseille

You should have gone there in the 70s. Building the Riverside stadium was a major civic improvement and even that's an eyesore.

Best: Florence, Rome, Lisbon, Edinburgh, Munich

Worst : Coventry - you know it's bad when a bombed out cathedral looks like a desirable property.

Bit of a let-down : Milan, and I usually love Italy.

Want to see more of : Vienna

Once you get away from Milan there are some lovely places. Varese, Como, Lecco. I like the area, but agree Milan is not that spectacular.

I think Lake Garda is slightly better than Como but two stunning locations

 

[MCFCTrick]

Best: Berlin, Tokyo, Madrid and NYC

Worst: LA.

I’m referring to the place, rather than the lake. Been to Lake Garda (Stayed in Torbole) as well, lovely.

Naples, London and York ✓
Brussels, Birmingham and Dublin X

 

[kippax_blueboy]

Dundee is good round about the harbour area.
A newish V&A Museum down there as well.
Aberdeen not named the Granite City for no reason at all.
Dull place,especially since the boom days of the oil industry are long gone.
The football ground sums the place up perfectly.
