Greatest City in the World?

[Boris Godunov]

Is Istabul in Tukey?

[Ecthy]

Istanbul is in Turkey, as are Trabzon, Samsun, Edirne, Kayseri...

[Faboba]

Florence! Where the hell is Firenze??!?

And Glasgow too. Not even I would vote for it but it is the 'greenest city in' somewhere afterall.

No. It's in Constantine

"Addio, Firenze..."

[Gangerolf]

"Berlin is the New York of Europe"
remember hearing that somewhere

Of these places I've only been to SYDNEY, so that's where my vote's going, great city.

[Caesar the Great]

well i only voted to the cities i've been to...

New York - live very close to it, really an amazing city, sure it has all the problems of any big city... unfortunately its going downhill pretty fast

Rome - great city, walking down the streets is liking fading in and out of the past... even the surrounding areas are pretty nice, it really doesn't have that much of a big city feel as others...

Venice - who in the world ever thought of building a city on water?!? nonetheless, its one of the most amazing places i've ever been

Let's see...

My favourite cities that I have visited for sheer wow factor in no particular order!

London
Monte Carlo
Firenze
Siena
Roma
Venezia
Boston
Paris
Savannah
New Orleans
Napoli
Bruges
Istanbul
Hong Kong
Sydney
Wellington
New York
Amsterdam

Most disappointing city...

Brussels!!!

Apart from the area around the main square, the city seemed like a dirty, ugly sh*thole!

Places I most want to visit: Prague and Cairo

[MattyBoy]

I agree, Brussels disappointed me. My brother lives there and it was the first bit of Europe I saw. Singapore sucks for its blandness in all things but food.

From my limited experience, New York is my definition of city. I'd love to know why " Caesar the Great" thinks its going downhill.

Sydney is amazing for its beaches, but only an Australian would think it a major city. Tokyo is fascinating to visit and you can't imagine how big it is until you have done some serious exploring.

HK is funny. I spent one day there and it seemed unimaginably awful to live in, but those who have lived there get a fond gleam in their eye whenever it is mentioned.

[Anodyne]

I voted for Moscow and Venice in this thread.

Cities I would have voted if they were in:
Bruxelles
Dublin (I'm surprised no one mentioned this one!)
Prague
Amsterdam
St. Louis (#1 American city for me)
and the 5 pearls of the Baltic sea:
St. Petersburg
Helsinki
Stockholm
Tallinn
Riga

I would've preferred Bombay (Mumbai) to Delhi.

[Felch]

Amsterdam is missing. I don't see any Dutch cities at all. Where am I supposed to find my herb?

DC is full of dealers, maybe they can help me.

I almost voted for Delhi because I read it wrong.

Baghdad is a beautiful city if you like busted up 1980's Soviet Iraqi tanks.
