This is so easy. Based on "how much I enjoyed my time in each city", they all get a 10. What is there not to enjoy when experiencing a new place?

Reykjavik, Bratislava, and the last 13 on your list I haven't been to though.

I put the 8 points for Paris. All of the other cities were not better than Paris but sometimes they're equal. Amsterdam is an example. It doesn't have the sights, etc. but it has a lot of heart. It's a great place for walking people. Evening is great in Amsterdam too.

A couple of good cities which should be listed too. Dubrovnik 5 and Mostar 5. Both were good places to visit but they're not in the same as Paris, etc..

I knocked down Rome, since the evening drops to sleep early. Madrid wakes up about 10:00 pm and starts to get moving about mid-night.

What's the point? The only one I see is for some people to let others know how much they've traveled!

However, I am not sure if it is very correct, because there are some cities visited recent, and other visited 30 years ago, so my impressions are different and meantime may things changed.

The point is to see how enjoyable others cosidered their time in a certain city, in comparison with your own.

What is the point of posting in a topic which you seem to think has no point...

No one has mentioned Lutenblag, the delightful capital of Molvania. It rates a 9 at the very least.

It seems like it's getting neglected, so...
a 10 for Valletta!

It's like going back in time, and you can wander all over the island from the bus terminal there, and the Labour Party Club lasagne is the best, and there's the Grand Master Chess Player who likes to talk to tourists in an old club...
It's wonderful.

So this is my rank of capitals I've visited If I add some big cities that are not capitals, the rank would change a bit , though.

I haven't been to all the capitals. And on different trips to the same city I had better and worse times. In a way I feel I am not being fair to the cities listed below because my rating is based more on who I was with, what I did, rather than the city itself.
United Kingdom London-5
France Paris-7 (even though had my passport stolen, have sweet memories of earlier times)
Belgium Brussels-5
Netherlands Amsterdam-7
Italy Rome-10
Spain Madrid-9
Greece Athens-7

Portugal Lisbon-I'm headed there in two weeks!
Hungary Budapest-This summer!
