Damned, been spotted...

Way too many to name - but then I've been to europe a lot.

Easier for me to name those I did not like:

Madrid reminds me of Chicago (which is fine for a large american city) but we found it hot and dirty and it much of it doesn't seem very Spanish - the way the lovely towns of Andalusia do. Way too many tall 20th century buildings.

Although I love London I would not call it a beautiful city - can never get enough of it but except for a few specific areas it's built for function - not beauty

Lisbon also has a few cute/quaint areas but to me a lot of it looks third world - with a lot of buildings that seem to be concrete that isn;t holding up too well

Berlin is another city that is very exciting but not really beautiful - love the museums, but there are quite a few places, esp in the west that resemble route 17 in NJ (obviously an issue since it was flattened in WWII)

Prettiest places off hand:

Brugges
Prague
Stockholm
St Pet
Venice
Florence
Paris
Monte Carlo
Lucerne
Salzburg

Hi Ny
Just a remark from a Belgian guy :
Bruges takes only one 'g' in French or in English (same wording) and take 2 'g' but no 's' in Flemish, its 'correct' wording since it is located in Flanders :
Brugge.

A 'brug' means 'bridge' or 'Bruck(e?)' in German.
'Bruggen' means bridges in actual Flemish.

York,

Paris

Granada

Washington DC

Paris
Florence
Anacapri
Seville
St. Remy
Parts of Amsterdam
Bayeux
Cahors
Avignon
Santorini

The cities of Europe are beautiful in such radically different ways, I almost think people should be ashamed of themselves for participating in such an ignorant exercise. If you think only 10 cities or 20 or 120 cities of Europe are worth noting as "beautiful", you've an incredibly limited appreciation of beauty.

(or else you haven't traveled much in Europe)

Having spent almost 300 days on the3 ground in Europe, I can not disagree with sandralist.

I must admit, it will be the first time. lol

Sandralist, I thought the same as you, decided it was just another useless list with no purpose.

agree , most cities a beautiful in their own way...including graffiti, dirty streets, un gentrified
and iffy areas. ( plenty of those in Paris, but many posters don't know the city )

Equating Andalusia with what is " Spanish" points to ignorance of Spanish history,
history of Madrid and architecture in general.
