Your Favorite Country? A Fodor's Poll

Simple as that - if you had to pick just one country to visit what would it be?

Straight up - one country.

I'll start -

United Kingdom

what about yours?

Cheers!

Me too, United Kingdom. London is the capital of the world - there's no other city like it. As far as architecture London wins it, but Prague is running a close second and that's where the contest ends because the vibe in London is unequalled.

Italy. The food, the people, the antiquities, the landscape, the art, the history, the architecture.

Italy, but I feel like I am cheating on France. I love both but Italy will always win my heart.

England - if only one.

The food's not nearly as good as Belgium, and the people not s friendly as Italy, and tiny towns aren;t as quaint as Germany and there are no Alps.

But there's so much history (and a lot of shared common history) that I can;t resist.

It can't be any place but Ireland.
Or Spain.
No, Ireland.
Ireland with Spanish weather would be grand!

It's always been France for me, since my first visit almost 40 years ago. But lately I've been falling in love with Spain.

Italy.

I suppose that like me, every body here answered based on their experience and on what they already visited and liked.
I am not sure that the OP's questions is about this, or about what country I'll want to visit for the first time, without any anterior experience.

France, France, and France. Other than that I have no opinion on the subject!
