Romania--if you want a taste of what Europe was like prior to WWII, go to the more remote parts of Romania right now before it changes too much
Budapest--been there twice
Krakow--been there twice
Brittany--been there twice
Seville--only once but would love to go again for Santa Semana (Holy Week)
Sorry I didn't stick to the rules, but I would like to have people realize that there are many more places of interest than just Venice & Paris.

Only one? Well -- I guess it would have to be Scotland. When I arrived there the first time, it was like returning home! The country is so beautiful and the people are so gracious. I love it. Ireland is a close second, and Paris and Italy close behind.

The most nearly perfect travel day I've ever had was in the late 60's in Delphi.
However, I know I can never go back and would never try. I was young, adventurous, with congenial friends; the weather was perfect. Delphi was glorious. It was a wonderful day! But...as Thomas Wolfe says "You can't go home...or to Delphi...again." (Or did he add the part about Delphi?)

I'm for Paris...I'm for buying my own apartment and living there "for the appropriate span of time"... and then come home.
Been to Venice, Rome, Florence, Milan, Athans, the islands... of course, I was 15 and that was in the '60s...but there is no "call" to my soul. Maybe Venice, now.

Help! I'd go back to just about anyplace I've ever traveled. However for peace, charm, and beauty, it would be a toss-up between Reine in the Lofoten Islands of Norway and Casole d'Else in Tuscany...much better food in Casole though.

I've never met a vacation that I didn't like so this is like asking me to pick my most favorite food or outfit--all depends on the mood I'm in.
As far as fave countries, Italy and Australia are right up there but so completely different that it's impossible to compare...buy me a ticket to either and I'll have my bag packed in a half hour!!
