Seeing as the whole of Jan I have been working all over Europe, and spending days in 10 different countries

In have decided that Holland is my favorite, great people wicked boozers with atmosphere, stunning women ( no I haven't been in the red light district)

I honestly think I could live and work from here

It's so clean and full of fascinating people and beautiful towns

Where's your favorite and why

    I agree that Amsterdam takes some beating.

    Went to Berlin back in the 80s when the wall was obviously still up. Would love to go back and see it now and would be interested in hearing from anyone who's been in recent years.

    London or Madrid for me, history, people, food, bars, shopping, sports etc.

    Haven't been Rome but really want to, Paris lags behind slightly due to half the people being arrogant arseholes

    Honourable mention to Krakow, love it

    Got Madrid in June to do and Budapest

    Utrecht is great

    We are in a place called noordwjk (spelling) lovely seaside town

    Although the weather front has just really changed, got gales, hail,rain right now and had snow earlier

    In just find the Dutch a real endearing group of people so welcoming and friendly, it's our third trip to Holland and each time it just gets better

    I was there a few months ago for a uni field trip during the anniversary celebrations, they had sections of the wall everywhere and other temporary memorials put in place. It was great we were going all over the place studying the architecture during the day and then going out every night. I loved it.

    Apart from London my favourite would probably be Madrid

    We have three trips to Germany this year, I spent time there earlier this month but was just a stop gap, never got time to really take it in

    Antwerp was good great shout that from skywalker, had a great architecture and shopping for jewellery

    Crazy their red light district though signs on the windows 15 at one time and an ob station right in the middle of it

    Agree that Holland is a great place and I absolutely love Haarlem. Just outside Amsterdam, huge town square bustling with bars and cafes, massive church in the square, close to the canals. Only 20 mins or so on the train into Amsterdam.

    Also love Bruges and because I have lived there I love Athens. I know it looks rough and there is graffiti absolutely everywhere but underneath is a cool, vibrant, positive and very safe city with loads to do if you look for it.

    Munich is a great city. I fully recommend a visit. Especially for the beer lovers out there.

    London is pretty awesome too, obviously.

    Paris - It's cheap, it's clean and the people are friendly and welcoming and they really make an effort to speak English for you as they know you are a tourist.

    Not forgetting the fact that they never, ever, turn their nose up at you and shrug their shoulders in an arrogant, condescending way.

    Do I trace a hint of sarcasm there Brendan?

    Paris is a beautiful city without a doubt - but ruined by being full of Parisians.

    Just a bit. ;o)

    I do love Paris, and France in general, but as you say some Parisians are very unwelcoming.

    Couldn't agree more with the attitude, we arrived at 0530 their time to install some equipment and got a lecture from a security guard on our poor french showed us as ignorant, you have to smile and try to make fun of it, but it was common theme, when we were speaking to our main contact he ripped the guy a new one telling him why people hate paris and have such a low opinion of its people

    The guy was Dutch and fluent in all three, maybe we should try harder to learn but when you get past school and you failed, there isn't much you can really do about it

    Its London for me, but outside of the UK i'd have to say Bruges. Lots of character, plenty of history, great architecture, superb beer, at 4am on a Sunday morning its so serene. Let down only by the food.

    Copenhagen & Malmo (they kind of come as one) - great cities, if not a tad on the pricey side, but they are so friendly. Great food. Great beer, women are hot and loads to do!

    I can testify that the females are very friendly in Copenhagen.
