      The place I've lived in with the most beautiful name: Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Nice meaning, too.

      In the world I kinda like "Maribor", "Corsica", "Garmich-Parterkirchen", "Madeira" and "Iringa".

        Practice.

        and you can blame the british for the pronounciation.

                        This isnt a city, but I always thought Trafalger was cool sounding... most of those north african-esque places usually are prety neat to me. Most of the good ones have already been mentioned

                              Kathmandu (Nepal) is a fancy city name.

                              'Moskva' ('Moscow' in Russian) also sounds great.
