As a well travelled guy, I often compare cities and my favourite city of all time is still Montréal in Canada. I don't live there anymore but the food scene, activities, festivals, now having a well connected airport, great transit and future HSR. Underground city for bad weather is amazing (one Winter I never stepped a foot outside) Genuinely awesome people there and no ghettos like in Toronto or other big cities. It's the only city where I see construction workers eat a beef tartare for lunch. Plus women are the hottest.

What is yours and why?

Houston.

All I know.

I've only been out of the US once, so my answer will be a US city.

Lexington, KY. ESPECIALLY during late fall. Gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous.

Jerusalem - I like the old wall city and the 4 quarters and the history.

Constantinople is interesting.

NY is wonderful for a short time.

Savannah has a lot of great history and is still a smaller town.

I like my local town a lot. Lots of good jobs, and a lower cost of living.

I would say live where you feel the best. Not many jobs here but my small town I love. It's like living in the 1950s with the main street boutiques, town gatherings etc.

Kyoto was fucking beautiful. Not just my favourite place in Japan, but anywhere I've visited on this planet.

Not a city, obviously, but the Amazon rain forest hits differently. If I didn't feel like I was about to die every ten seconds, I'd pitch a tent and live there for a few years.

Probably Electricity.

mine is Toxicity.

The city i grew up in but for many reasons a place I can never go back to and live. I feel sad just thinking about it but it is what it is. Remember folks, the grass always looks greener on the other side.

The Audacity!

The Audacity!

The audacity? Add it to my collection next to my tenacity and eccentricity

 

[Burning Blade]

Hong Kong. No view in the world like the one on Victroia Peak!

 

[ReBurn]

Probably Electricity.

I kinda like Velocity. I hear Police like Synchronicity.

Hong Kong. No view in the world like the one on Victroia Peak!

What killed it for me it's the smell. The stench is horrible and mixed with seasalt breeze. Argh.

 

[Punished Miku]

San Diego
Tokyo
Kyoto

No particular order.

 

[diffusionx]

New York City, some come close but nothing beats it

 

[DKehoe]

Not including ones I go to regularly I'd maybe say Paris and Barcelona.

Seville, Spain.

Particularly the Old Town. My wife and I had a late dinner at a random restaurant on a small, tucked away cobblestone street there one night. Sat out on the small patio. The server was trilingual and started by asking us if we spoke Spanish, English, or French. Food was delicious and a glass of wine came with every dish. The setting was so "clean" that it felt like we were on a movie set.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Praga.

A truly fairy tale town. If you want to impress a lady with an early relationship travel, that's a good choice.

 

[Represent.]

NYC

Vancouver is a nice city. Used to go there a lot of business years back. Just avoid that grubby East Hastings/Chinatown kind of area. Walked it with a buddy. Yup, it is what people say.... druggies passed out on that st.

But the rest of the city is very clean, great pubbish places to eat and you got the water right there. One restaurant we ate it you'd see the water planes coming and going. It's not a big downtown, so if you got an afternoon, you can walk the main perimeter of it and go up and down through the main sts. If you want to hit a Canucks game, the arena is right downtown too. They got these night markets with Asian food which are packed and hard to find parking. You can drive to Whistler, or take a ferry to Victoria which are great places too. If youre in Victoria, go on one of the boat tours. The local friend took us to the downtown area and that's where the tour boat was.

That I've been to, Fort Lauderdale Florida.

 

[Insane Metal]

I wish I could have the $$$ to travel. I'm 40 and never been outside of Brazil unfortunately. And if things keep going the way they are O probably never will.

Edit: sorry to vent on your thread. Social media is making me realize how big the world is and making me feel sad about it.

 

[Billbofet]

I love Milwaukee. I think it's the perfect size, has great people, interesting places and history. I might be influenced having grown up around here, who knows.
I also loved London, but have not been in over 15 years.
Somone mentioned Lexington, KY earlier in the thread, and I really enjoyed my time there as well.
I enjoy NYC, Chicago, etc. but cities that large, I want to get the fuck out of after three or so days. Vegas I can take for three hours. LA three minutes.
I plan to visit Japan and Portugal over the next year, so I'm sure my list will change

 

[Rran]

Tokyo.

I'm a weeb tho

 

[SpiceRacz]

San Juan, PR and Chicago.

 

[Durien]

Hmmmm, I hate the city and avoid it like the plague. I prefer smaller towns like Hidetakayama. I also like the countryside of Nagano. I have lived in the city and hated it preferring rural living. Give me trees and grass over concrete and stank.
