I haven’t been there but agree with you anyway. There really is nothing like it

My lad (22) and 4 of his mates just back from 10 day tour of Italy. First time abroad since New York in 2019.
Visited Bologna, Venice, Florence, Pisa, Rome and Naples.
First words to me on return "You were right about Naples. Dad, it was brilliant". Helps if you're fit.

I liked Ljubljana. My kids were in the outdoor pool, me standing on the side:Good shout for Ljubljana and I would add brugge too
”What’s the water like?”
”Lovely and warm”
I jump in, it is icy….”Arrrghh”

Liked just for that bit, love the place and actually love Bridgetown too.if I could count Barbados as a city as its probably the same size as London that would definitely be number one.
I always think of London as a collection of villages.Plus it isn't a city by UK standards, just a sprawl containing 2 small cities.
Top shout above for Ljubljana, a real hidden gem of a place, had a great time there.
Seville was also a top place with top food, have been drawn back ever since.
Went to Buenos Aires in March, another place that I have been drawn back to and feel sad that I didn't spend longer there.

I have a fairly healthy hatred for the behaviour of Parisians, but when you're eighteen or nineteen, maybe first trip away from your parents, maybe your girl on your arm — Paris is just a magical city to walk around. You don't need to be rich. Just walking along the banks of the Seine in April under the cherry trees in blossom, and stopping for the occasional snog is riches enough.
In North America, was very taken with Vancouver and San Francisco. Similar kinds of cities in some ways. Oh and Montreal.
In Latin America, Buenos Aires rocks – and some of the most stunningly beautiful girls on the planet (they know it, too, oh don't they just know it!). Rio — spectacular-looking city but I don't think I've been anywhere where the sense of danger was so palpable, even during the daytime. Rio ranks up there with Hong Kong for the most photogenic and spectacular city I've seen on earth.
Very, very fond of the continent of Africa, but Africa doesn't really do cities, as such. They're just overgrown barns of places where people congregate and flock into to get away from the grinding poverty of rural life. I'm told that Cape Town is pretty stunning.
Europe — I am a European, and proud of it. I would never live for very long anywhere else. The list of beautiful and agreeable cities in Europe just goes on and on. Europe does cities. Special mentions for Lisbon, Barcelona, Madrid, Seville. For a weird feeling: Reykjavik, built of volcanic rock (some stunning girls there too, though, on the streets).
Tokyo, which I lived on the outskirts of for three years, is a monster that has to be seen to be believed. A labyrinth that you would spend several lifetimes exploring. I knew New Yorkers who said that they found something utterly exhausting about being in Tokyo.
Feelgood cities with a really good vibe: Kyoto, Auckland, Seville, Athens, Accra, Amsterdam.
Cities that are holes – Manila. Dar Es Salaam. I quite disliked L.A., although I was bemused by it. Just couldn't quite work out how such a vast, soulless place could have ended up on the edge of the desert, and the continent. I know there's some people who like it.
England? Was forgetting England. Cambridge is very pretty, but it's not really a city, and doesn't feel like one. Edinburgh is a fine city (yes I know it's not in England!). Glasgow has grit. Or call it character, if you like.

Craic.Define great. Livability? Scenery? Location? Infrastructure? We need more to be able to make an informed decision
