I voted for the ones I've been to.
Toronto: MY city, even though I dont' live in it.
I love it's multicultural feel, it's cosmopolitan nature. The subway is easy to use and the city is generally easy to get around. I adore the little "villages" like Chinatown, Greekville, Little India, etc. Bad side : Currently a third world garbage dump and growing social problems. Tent City anyone?
Montreal: OMG I had such a fun fun weekend here.
The Metro is easy enough to use. However, I wouldn't drive in Montreal if you paid me. The Old City is AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL. Like a New World version of Paris. Bad Side: Seems to have a lot of homeless. In Quebec.
London: Incredible. 'Nough said. Bad side: Expensive.
Paris: Beautiful!!!!!!!!! Easily one of the most eye charming cities I've ever seen. Has a big city feel yet also a charming feeling of being able to relax and take your time. I adore the cafes overlooking the River and the Seine at night is the most romantic thing I've ever seen. Also, less likely to get nuked than London. Bad Side: Not the cleanist city I've been too. You couldn't make me drive there.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

Greatest should be multiple choice.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

London! I love that city!!!Comment

I will add that Paris is actually my favorite city in the world, so far. The great cities I haven't been to yet but are on my list are Berlin, Rome, San Francisco, Boston, Prague, Vienna and Toronto.
I didn't care for London all that much, but maybe that's because it was rainy and dreary all the time.
Los Angeles is the pits, IMO. And Washington DC, while home to some neat museums and government buildings, doesn't have much else going for it. Although the gay nightlife in DuPont Circle is fun.
Why on EARTH is Prague not on the list? Everyone I know who has been there finds it magnificent.
EDIT: I only voted for New York, though, as "Greatest" is exclusive of all others. New York is the Rome of our times, and certainly the city that is currently King Sh*t of F*ck Mountain in terms of world stature.Last edited by Boris Godunov; July 12, 2002, 11:07.Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment

I also enjoyed Copenhagen very much. Relaxed and very humane. (got to have respect for a city where bicycles are used so much)
Amsterdam is wild, if this is your thing. Nice but a bit frightful to me. (but i was small when i visited there)
seriously,
Berlin is nice but is so clean and tidy it will give you a strock and there are too many drunk bored ecthelinakis there. 
west Berlin in particular was a capitalistic hell in full swing. (I'd imagine so that people never felt about defecting)
and Brussels is propably one of the best cities to live.Comment

and as Boris said, Prague is a serious ommissionComment

As is Brugge in Belgium.Comment

Considering the fact that I'm quite well-travelled, and that I love big cities, I've been to surprisingly few of these.
Berlin is awful, ugly and ill-structured even before the wall.
Cairo is nice, more "city feel" than most other african cities.
London is much smaller than its size suggests. Just looking at the city centre I'd guess it was a city of about 4 to 5, not 13 million. That said, it's nice.
Moscow I voted for. Brilliant large city feel, an entire world undeground. Loved it.
NYC I also vote for. Great place, epitome of modernity.
Paris I was in at age 5, Rome age 7 for half an hour.
My personal top three:
1. Prague
2. Stockholm
3. BudapestVärldsstad - Dom lokala genrenas vän
