What would you consider to be the greatest city in the world?

Venice
Lucca
Florence

I wonder how many folk posting London have actually lived there?

Fucking London?!

It’s the greatest city on earth. Probably not a popular opinion on here, but it is the best global city on the planet.

 

[Resurrection Joe...]

New York
Paris
London

It depends what metric you are using when you make your decision. No one mentioned anything about living in the city, you might make your decision based on where is best to spend a long weekend city break?

The world’s most liveable city is a completely different thing.

New York
London
Bologna

New York
London

Bologna would have been 4th on my list (love Modena too) and Lucca, which somebody else posted, would have been 5th.

Plus it isn't a city by UK standards, just a sprawl containing 2 small cities.

Definitely top two. New York being the other.

London is great when young and single. Beyond 30 you run the risk of turning into the lads from Peep Show. The anonymity/facelessness of the place is cool in your 20s but can easily see how that may turn to loneliness and disheartened as you reach a certain age
