Adalbertus: You recommend Koln for architecture?
But it only has one nice building!
I do agree, though, that Venice is nicer than either of Paris or Rome (although it can get a bit smelly in the summer)Comment

Florence is a treat. Pick up some Italian-cut men's shirts and business shoes while you're there. Rome sells the same, except it's about 25% more expensive in Rome. I don't have much of a sense of the market for women's clothes or jewelry.
Visit il duomo. A couple of museums. Food, food, food.
2-4 days.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Been to neither. My gut choice is Rome, my intellectual choice is Paris (more to see).Some cry `Allah O Akbar` in the street. And some carry Allah in their heart.

Pretty much every city I visited in Italy was a wonderful experience. I can't wait till I finally visit france. Paris or Rome, they're both great in my opinion, although I KNOW I loved Rome.
Siena is great for its mideival atmosphere
Florence is great for its city design, style and DaVinci museum
Venice is great because, well, you know...

Rogan, certainly, a lot has been destroyed during the war, but there are 12 Romanesque churches which are also worth a visit, as well as parts of the Town Hall. Not as splendid as they used to be, but still they are. And I'm quite sure that both Paris and Rome offer less architecture between 800 and 1200 AC.Adalbertus: You recommend Koln for architecture? But it only has one nice building!
OK, there is no good architecture after 1920 and Cologne has been destroyed 90% in the centre ...
PS: I was utterly disappointed by Florence. All colours converge to grey there.Why doing it the easy way if it is possible to do it complicated?Comment

Give me a break, Florence is great! That's just ludicrous.

Roma is THE city and la bella Italia is Paradise.
Roma is one of the few cities in the world I would like to live in for six months or longer. (generally I do not like travelling)
On the other hand, after having visited Roma, Paris will be a great disappointment.
So when intending to visit both cities, start with Paris!
And -as monolith said- : '...every city I visited in Italy was a wonderful experience'. This is true indeed!

I've not only not been to Toronto, but also not to Moscow, Tokyo, Melbourne, Naples, Tromso, Chester, Ouagadougou, Capetown, Buenos Aires, Magdeburg, New York, Helsinki, Supru, Tampere, Helsingfors, Tikkakoski, and please spare me to list all the other places I haven't been to. I just compare those places I've visited and I know that there's no need for me to visit Florence again.Why doing it the easy way if it is possible to do it complicated?Comment
