re; Bamberg v Regensberg- I did both last year, Bamberg is better, its smaller and more picturesque, but Regensberg is still great- stay at the fraulichen turken, cheap and central. <BR>re; the czech republic winning the newspaper poll- maybe its cos the smaller towns such as cesky krumlov and cesky budjevice are really cool

Good question - is it really possible to pick one favorite? OK here's my top 10 list (and forgive me for branching outside of Europe): <BR> <BR>1. Venice <BR>2. Paris <BR>3. Chicago <BR>4. Las Vegas <BR>5. Vollendam (more of a fishing village than a city) <BR>6. Istanbul <BR>7. Prague <BR>8. San Francisco <BR>9. Geneva <BR>10.the one I haven't been to yet...

First of all, Paris. It's charming, lovely, full of art and history. <BR>Second, Prague. The Paris of the east, so beautiful. <BR>Third, Florence. Have you ever seen the sun refleting on Arno river when you was at Ponte Vecchio? <BR>All cities have a heart and a soul waiting to be discovered, and all of them are special, but if I had to choose, this is my selection. <BR> <BR>Débora

Point of view: 22yr SM: <BR> <BR>Best: <BR>1. Munich <BR>2. London <BR>3. Fr. Riviera (Cannes, Nice, Monaco) <BR>4. Prague <BR>5. Amsterdam <BR>6. Lake Constance (Bodensee) Area <BR> <BR>Worst: <BR>1. All of Belgium (rude, rude, rude. makes Paris look friendly) <BR> <BR>Not very impressed with Paris, the history and museums were great but, unfortunately, ran into quite a bit of rudeness. The south of France however was very friendly. <BR> <BR>Memo for the rude waiter in Brussels at the Cafe Orlando and his absolutely horrible WWII joke... thanks a lot, idiot. <BR> <BR>Quick Stats Check (not including mine): <BR>Paris - 34 (did not double count) <BR>Venice - 16 <BR>Florence - 13 <BR>Prague, Rome - 12 <BR>London - 11 <BR>Salzburg - 10 <BR>Copenhagen - 9 <BR>Vienna - 8 <BR>Lucerne - 7 <BR>Berlin, Amsterdam, Edinburgh - 6 <BR>Munich - 5 <BR> <BR>I'll have to write back after visiting as a 28yr MM... I'm sure my votes will change. <BR> <BR>Thanks for all of your great posts!

I love the Scandanavian cities, especially Stockholm and Uppsalla (sorry if I have spelt this incorrectly!) The people are friendly and Stockholms situation on the water is beautiful, as are the surrounding lakes. The summer is just the right temperature to visit. I also visited Stockholm in December with my parents and it was very romantic, we stocked up on thermals before we went. <BR>Oslo is also pretty. Travelling alone I always felt safe in Sweden and Norway. <BR>Also flying into Helsinki is the most wonderful of views with the Archipelgo below you as you come into land. All these cities had wonderful open air folk museums which I love. Stockholms old town on one of the cities many islands is so worth a visit (I think it is called Gamla Stan in Swedish).

Last July my husband and I ran away to Verona to marry in secret and fell in love with everything about this beautiful city. <BR>We honeymooned in Venice, which was incredible, but returning to Verona for our first anniversay was like coming home ( and can still make me feel tearful just thinking about being there).
